As you're well present plan is to relocate the High School to the city -owned property in the South West the city shop complex. on the tennis aware of, the tennis courts Corner behind The original plan calls for a budget of $120,000 of Tax Increment funds. Preliminary estimates told us that this would be more than enough for the relocation of four (4) courts. The original plan is to develop the city -owned property behind the city shops bordering School District 5 and Ashley Creek. As you know, we've received letters from Mr. Howard Fryett, President FVCC; Mr. Bill Cooper, Superintendent Kalispell Public Schools; and Dr. Larry Iwersen, President Kalispell Tennis Association. The letters received are in general support of the project while addressing individual concerns of the location and the number of courts. I have done some investigating on relative costs of tennis courts determining general expenditures of $14,000-$18,000 per single court and $13,000-$17,000 per court if multiple courts are constructed. Miles City last year built four (4) courts for $52,000--complete. Also, I was told that Big Fork built four (4) separated courts for $60,000. I think we can intelligently predict construction costs in the Flathead Valley to be a little above normal --as evidenced by past bidding practices. Obviously, the more courts we have constructed, the per - court -price will drop proportionately. To proceed with this project we will need direction from council addressing the number of courts and the desired location.
