. ~ ~ Mr. Schoofs explained that it is impossible to playa tournament with 30-40 players on just two tennis courts and that a minimum of four courts would be necessary. Commissioner Howard asked if assessing a fee for groups to obtain exclusive use of the courts would be a way of dealing with this issue. Director Griffiths said that a policy needed to be established concerning the exclusive use of tennis courts for groups. Jan Knight mentioned the possbility of a co-sponsored club event in exchange for tennis classes offered in the Redwood Shores Area. Mr. Schoofs said that the Tennis Club has hired a professional to offer classes to its members and this might be a possibility. Commissioner Slusser was concerned about locking up the tennis courts for a period of time and felt that the Commission needed to look at the long-range impact of this matter. A suggestion was made that Mr. Schoofs request the use of the private tennis courts near Nikkon for tournament play. Because he was unable to obtain permission from the Commission before this meeting, Mr. Schoofs has arranged to have several of the home matches played at other facilities. There are presently only a few home matches remaining where use of the Redwood Shores tennis courts would be required. MIS Slusser/Mortensen: To allow the Men1s Team of the Redwood Shores Tennis Club access to the tennis courts on July 11 from 6-9pm; make no further allocations until a policy has been developed by the Commission. M/S Slusser/Swope: To amend the motion to allow the Men1s Club access to the courts on June 20 and July 11. Commissioner Mortensen withdrew his second to the original motion. A role call vote was taken by the Commissioners: Nordness - no Slusser - yes Howard - yes Swope - yes Mortensen - no Motion passed. Chairperson Nordness appointed Commissioner Slusser to chair a committee to study the exclusive use of tennis courts and report back to the Commission with its recommendation. Also included on the committee were Commissioner Davis and Director Griffiths. Commissioner Mortensen will check with private courts in the area to determine availability for group tournaments. Commissioner Slusser will visit the Dolphin and Shorebird tennis courts during the tournaments on June 20 and July 11 to determine impact on the residents. ITEM 2 - 4th of July Parade Commissioner Slusser said that since the Thompson Toyota Dealership ;s up for sale, their fire truck will not be available for the 4th of July Parade. Commissioner Mortensen said Jim Francis has agreed to let the Commissioners use his 1960ls Oldsmobile convertible in the parade and will also drive the car in the parade. Chairperson Nordness said he has located fire trucks in Livermore and on the Peninsula that could also be used. It was decided that Mr. Francis1s car would be used in the parade. Chairperson Nordness asked that Commissioner Mortensen contact Jim Francis to confirm the signage to be placed on his car and to also contact Sally Morrison at the PCA to determine if car meets parade requirements.
