Pickleball players will have more courts available to them soon in Wetumpka.
The Wetumpka City Council approved at its Tuesday meeting the fencing and resurfacing of tennis courts at Crommelin Park to accommodate pickleball. Work should begin almost immediately.
“The fencing company is just waiting for the approval to start,” Wetumpka Public Works director Chappell Brown said. “Hellas is doing the resurfacing. They are about two to three weeks out for scheduling. Weather will also play a factor. It needs to be somewhat warm.”
The council meeting is normally scheduled for Mondays but was held Tuesday as Monday was a holiday.
In other action the Wetumpka City Council:
• Approved minutes of the Jan. 2 meeting.
• Reappointed Theresa Crum to the Wetumpka Public Library board.
• Approved new flooring for restrooms and concession stand at Hohenberg Field.
• Approved the purchase of life safety rope for the Wetumpka Fire Department.
The next meeting of the Wetumpka City Council is scheduled for 6 p.m. Monday, Feb. 5.
