Thanks, Ali
I’ll digest and respond more later.
Meantime, these images are from right now: more than 60 people playing at CU South, ages 5
to 87. All displaced. No place to play. Praying they get a new home.

Hi
Thank you so much for reaching out for clarity.
What we recently shared with Gonzo Tennis is very similar to what I have shared with Kendall
(of RMTC) since April and even in person at our meeting recently that you attended, . As I
shared with you via email in April and in person when we met in June, there is the potential to
construct a bubble at East Boulder Community Center next year if we are able to develop
courts on the adjacent city property (the current parkland is too constrained) and if we
determine it is feasible given that we do not having funding. I think we've shared this with you
previously? If my memory is accurate, Matt, at that in-person meeting and as I explained the
potential, you asked something along the lines of "really, you expect that the city will signal it
might get involved in indoor tennis in June?"
Through July-August, we expect to explore the viability of the development potential with
rigor so that by September/this fall we can proceed accordingly with partnership
consideration and construction documents if we determine to move forward. As I had noted
in April, any management partnership will include a full competitive procurement process.
We have a long-standing and successful partnership with Gonzo Tennis, and when that
agreement reaches it term, our financial guidelines require that we issue a new RFP. Part of
the evaluation of indoor operations include the delivery method – direct ourselves or through
another partnership. If our analysis determines the best delivery model is through a
partnership, the operation of a BPR court facility would be part of the next tennis instruction
RFP.
I hope this helps and feel free to reach out if you have any questions.
(total aside, - great story in the NYT yesterday on teen drivers and AI; we're in the exact
same boat with a 15-yo driver, Highlander and Tesla to boot so it was an intriguing read)
Thank you,

Ali,
This is , copying from BTA. I’m writing to clarify a rumor going
around. A member of Gonzo’s staff told me that the Gonzo team had a conference call this
week and were told that a four-court bubble is planned for East Boulder.
The person seemed informed and involved. Can I clarify if this is the case? Can you provide
further detail?
Best,
