The City of Palm Springs:
The Plaza Racquet Club is looking for Financial assistance in order to resurface 3 tennis
courts this fall. In 2002 we gave the facility a much needed face lift,which cost over
$80,000. Six years later much of this work needs to be done again. This work also
includes a parking lot resurface.
The improvements we have made out of pocket since 2002 are as follows:
January 2003 Parking Lot Resurface $4,580.00
March 2003 New Aar Conditioner$ 4,150.00
September 2005 Resurface 3 Tennis Courts $9,000-00
September 2006 Resurface 3 Tennis Courts $9,000.00
2002-2008 Landscaping Improvements $10,000,00
Total Improvements: $36,730.00
The Plaza Racquet Club is asking the City of Palm Springs if the cost of resurfacing 3
tetmis courts can be split down the middle. Enclosed is the bid for$9,900.00. We are
also asking if the parking lot resurface could be split,which we, estimate at approximately
$5,000.00.
As you know it is important to maintain the integrity of the property, as we facilitate the
majority of our city's hotels, out of town events, and also the city's residents.
We invite you to come visit the Plaza Racquet Club, and take a look at what most
visitor's refer to as "the nicest public tennis facility in the country".
Thank you for your consideration,
Karl and Ana Ilaggstrom
