Report PWD-011-21 addresses Council resolution #GG-024-21 that was carried at the

referred Resolution #GG-022-21 and Report PWD-003-21 regarding sports court upgrades
back to staff. This report provides additional background regarding a potential partnership

1. Background
1.1 At the General Government Committee meeting held on Monday, January 4, 2021,
Council passed Resolution #GG-024-21. This resolution provided direction for staff to
report back on the willingness of the Kawartha Pine Ridge District School Board
(KPRDSB) to install pickleball or a combination of pickleball and tennis courts on the
school board property located at Courtice Secondary School.
2. Discussion
2.1 In response to the direction given, staff reached out to the Vice Principal of Courtice
Secondary School and also the Manager, Construction and Engineering Services for the
KPRDSB. Both representatives were very supportive of Clarington's proposal to
renovate the existing court surface at Courtice Secondary School and agreed, in
principle, to support a partnership with the Municipality.
2.2 Matters that will require further discussion include the funding arrangement for the
project, the suitability of the public accessing the courts during school times (8:00 a.m.
to 4:30 p.m., Monday to Friday), responsibility for regular maintenance or upkeep and
also the type and number of courts that will ultimately be agreed upon. The KPRDSB
representatives have identified their interest to retain basketball play which may result in
a multi -purpose court layout.
