Laguna Beach Unified School District trustees are sticking with their goal of getting a bid for a more extensive tennis court repair project after hearing the city's proposal for a less-expensive solution.
Trustees met with City Council members and district and city staff Tuesday to discuss the state of six tennis courts on district property across Park Avenue from Laguna Beach High School.
The city and district share the courts through a joint-use agreement, which requires the city pay 70% for improvements and the district 30%. The percentages align with the hours the courts are available for public and high school use.
Residents say the court surfaces are unsafe because they are slippery, dirty and cracked. The courts have not been resurfaced since 2008 in anticipation of a repair project, according to a city staff report.
The original project budget was $300,000 in 2010-11, the staff report said, but the cost has steadily increased.
