Pickleball players packed the Fishers City Hall council chambers Monday afternoon to support more Pickleball courts at Cyntheanne Park.  The players, many from the Britton Falls neighborhood but others as well, told the Fishers Board of Public Works and Safety about the high demand for the four Pickelball courts already in place.

The Pickleball advocates want the city to add four new courts, but only one bid was received for two courts, none for the option of four additional courts.  Myers Construction, the firm that constructed the current four courts, was the only bidder.  The board awarded the contract for two courts to Myers.

Although only two new Pickleball courts were approved Monday, Mayor Scott Fadness promised to try and find the money for the additional two courts.

Fadness said he would “look at our donations account, continue to try find as much money as we can.  If we can put two more (Pickleball courts) in we will.”

The city could use the current bidding process to add courts later in the year.  If funding goes into 2019, the bidding process starts anew.

In other items approved at the Monday Board of Works meeting:

–The Kincaid House move from its current location along I-69 to a nearby roundabout was okayed through a complex set of legal moves resulting in the relocation to a nearby roundabout.

–Pricing changes for rental contracts at the Ambassador House and Saxony Hall gained approval.  The prices will be reduced due to efficiencies implemented by the city.

–The board officially approved the intersection changes already implemented at 126th Street and Reynolds Drive.

–A supplemental one-year agreement with RQAW for management services in the State Road 37 construction project received board approval.
