Resident asks Grandview Heights to delay tennis-court work so girls high-school team isn’t displaced

Sarah Kaf of 1300 Lincoln Road told the council that the city has approved money to resurface public tennis courts used by the high school and urged officials to delay construction until after the boys season ends to avoid disrupting the girls season beginning Aug. 1.

Kaf said Parks staff had told her no contract was yet in place and that the school had no relocation plans for practice or matches. “Please, please, I implore you, wait to start construction until the end of the boys season in May,” she said, noting that a typical resurfacing takes about 90 days and could push work into early August.

Director Maxwell acknowledged the request and said she would look into the timing and logistics.

No formal action or vote on contract timing was taken at the meeting; Kaf’s request was referred to staff for follow-up and the council’s work-session discussion.
