7. NEW BUSINESS
a. New Recreation Coordinator — James Fox
Chair Pappajohn moved this item to the next meeting as Coordinator Fox was unable to attend
tonight's meeting.
b. Review and Approval of Tennis and Pickleball Court Use Policy
Chair Pappajohn opened the item for Commission discussion.
Commissioner Wettan asked for clarification on the insurance requirement noted in the policy.
Director Glomstad replied that the insurance requirement is meant for organizations and
instructors. One-time, short-term individual renters have only needed to pay a fee and sign a waiver
but it wasn't clear in the document. Wettan noted it might be worth clarifying to avoid confusion
going forward. Glomstad noted staff would check in with the City Attorney on the item.
Pappajohn noted when she read the section on Tennis and Pickleball Court Allocation Process and
Restrictions, she reached out to Recreation Manager Acquisti as one of the statements in the section
says the courts can be rented. She recalls in the discussions with the public outreach listening
sessions there was feedback that perhaps renting pickleball courts was not a good idea as there
may be some inequity. She felt the way it is written in the policy, it is clear this is not for
Washington Court 1 and that it cannot be rented. However, she would be open to anyone else's
interpretation or if anyone else had any comments about renting the Laguna or Ray Park courts.
Commissioner Milne noted in the listening sessions that at least one person noted there really was
no need to rent them and that doing so may keep other people from playing. However, he recalls
that being more in the context of Washington Court 1.
MOTION by Milne to approve Tennis and Pickleball Court Use Policy as written. Motion
seconded by Yu. Motion approved 7-0-0.

Subject: Review and Approval of Pickleball Use Guidelines
RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends the Parks and Recreation Commission review and approve the Pickleball Use
Guidelines.
BACKGROUND
On September 15, 2022, the Parks and Recreation Commission approved:
1. Striping pickleball courts on Washington and Ray Tennis Courts
2. Creating shared court rules
3. Discontinuation of the $5 drop -in fee program
Since that time, staff has:
1. Stripped Washington, Ray, and Laguna tennis courts for pickleball play
2. Created a draft of pickleball play guidelines
3. Removed the $5 drop -in fee
4. Purchased pickleball paddle holders for all 11 courts for $1,800 (not including staff
installation time).
5. Numbered the court nets to identify which is a beginner court when others are waiting.
The Pickleball Task Force held community meetings with randomly selected members of the
Burlingame Pickleball community to focus on the draft for the Pickleball Use Guidelines.
DISCUSSION
Over the last several months, the Pickleball Use Guidelines have been posted at Washington, Ray,
and Laguna pickleball courts. City staff has had conversations with the pickleball community
regarding the guidelines. Staff received input from the public to add:
1. Verbiage/graphic regarding no bikes on courts
2. Verbiage/graphic regarding no dogs on courts
3. Verbiage/graphic regarding no food on courts
The proposed guidelines are:
1. Pickleball is fun. Be courteous to fellow players.
