THRU: David N. Carmany, City Manager

SUBJECT: MARINA BASKETBALL COURT CONDITION UPDATE
SUMMARY OF REQUEST:
Receive and file update to the Basketball Court at Marina Park.
BACKGROUND:
At the September 13, 2010 City Council Meeting, a residential request was made
to evaluate the condition of the basketball courts at Marina Park. Currently
Marina Park has a 5,800 square foot asphalt basketball court. The basketball
court was constructed over 30 years ago and the majority of the court has not
received a large renovation since it was originally built. The condition of the
Court is as follows:
• Asphalt Court Surface: The asphalt surface has been slurry sealed within
the past few years. Currently, the surface has minor cracking, but is
structurally sound. A new surface can be applied that is tailored to
outdoor basketball courts to improve the aesthetics and performance of
the surface for an estimated cost of $8,000 to $10,000. Due to the
proximity of the beach to Marina Park, sand will always be present on the
court. Having the sand present on the court will erode this surface and
reduce the life expectancy.
• Basketball goals (rims): The posts, goals, and rims have been in place for
approximately 5 years. The posts are in good shape and do not need to
be replaced. The goals and rims are functional. The rims were replaced
in July of 2010. Replacement of the goals, rims, and bracing to
commercial quality could be done for a cost of $1,200 per goal or $2,400
total.
• Lighting: The lighting has not been improved for more than 10 years. The
present lighting does not provide adequate lighting for the courts. The
lighting comes on at dusk and goes off at 9:30 pm. The park is closed at
10:00 pm. Upgrading of the lighting standards and increasing the amount

of lights to the existing poles can be accomplished for approximately
$3,000 - $5,000.
The total project cost for these improvements with design and construction
management is likely to be approximately $25,000. Currently no funding has
been budgeted for improvements to Marina Park. This project can be included in
the list of projects to be considered during the next budget hearing in the spring
of 2011.
FINANCIAL IMPACT:
None with this action.
RECOMMENDATION:
Receive and file this staff report regarding the condition of Marina Park
Basketball Courts.
