Description
The lights at Ogden tennis courts need attention! Several of the bulbs are burned out. The lighting on the front courts is terrible. I was playing a match last night and even tho the lights were on it was dark on the courts. Everyone there was complaining....no one could see! Can the bulbs that are burned out be replaced? Can we get some decent lights on the old courts? The lights on the newer back courts and the lights at Empie's new courts are much, much better than these. Tennis is a big thing in NH Co and we are short on courts as it is.....can we please make the courts that we do have playable? With it getting dark earlier now, this is a big issue.

We continue to work with the lights at Ogden and Blair. We have a plan laid out in FY ’13-14 which will hopefully fix the issue. The cost to replace the lights at Ogden is close to $1,000,000 so we are trying to exhaust all options prior to submitting a CIP for replacement. The courts receive so much use that the lighting system that is in place struggles to keep up.
