$25 key deposit. There is no constraint on the length of time an individual may keep the key and utilize the facilities - the deposit is refunded when the key is returned. It is not possible to secure a key, however, on weeknights or weekends. The Liaison Committee discussed the potential of allowing players to secure a key through the City's Tennis and Community Park on an "on demand" basis. This would allow individuals to request access to the high school when courts were unavailable at the City's other 18 public courts. By paying a deposit or leaving a credit card, the player(s) would not lose out on an opportunity for exercise and recreation due to high demand for courts. It is suggested that these items could possibly be addressed through hearings conducted by the Parks and Recreation Commission. This would allow for community dialogue on the potential value of these options, and any other suggestions that residents or Commissioners might have. Also, City and School District staff could determine the cost implications of the plans and discuss any operational logistics. Upon completion of this analysis, the Commission would forward its recommendations for consideration by the Council and School District Board of Trustees. As noted earlier, these discussions would be separate from any recommendations for possible inclusion of tennis courts on the Bernal Property. In addition to these general discussions about court availability, the Parks and Community Services Department has also been conducting a review of its overall tennis operations. In June 2004, the Department solicited proposals from various tennis professionals and/or firms to operate the ten (10) City owned courts at Tennis and Community Park. It has been several years since the last Request for Proposals (RFP) process, so staff felt this was an appropriate time to accept new proposals. A total of three (3) proposals from potential operators, including the current tennis professional, were received prior to the submittal deadline. All three (3) potential operators made presentations to a review committee comprised of three (3) Parks and Community Services staff members. Based on the interviews and background checks, the review committee determined that Lifetime Tennis of Santa Clara had provided the most responsive proposal. Lifetime Tennis currently manages a portion of the City of Cupertino's tennis program, including instruction, coordination of league play, and scheduling open play. Staff representatives from the Law Department and Parks and Community Services have been meeting with representatives of Lifetime Tennis over the past several months to negotiate the proposed Agreement, which is included as Attachment 1. Some key points of the Agreement are summarized below: · All tennis instructors would be employees of Lifetime Tennis. Currently, instructors are independent contractors paid by the City. · Lifetime Tennis would invest $20,000 in furniture and facility upgrades at the Tennis Complex, with all improvements to be approved by the City.
