Original paragraph from my first post (“My Humble Opinion”): Post Mar 11, 2026

One suggestion: If the City is concerned about PTC’s finances, there are straightforward, public‑centered fixes. The discounted pass program currently offers 25%, 50%, and 90% discounts — and the 90% tier is being abused. Reducing the top tier to 50% would still protect affordability while restoring revenue. Even with this adjustment, PTC would remain far more affordable than a USTA‑run facility, where higher court and program fees could push long‑time players out entirely.

Clarification (March 20, 2026):

After reviewing the 2025 Parks Levy and the structure of the Access Discount Program, I want to clarify that the 25%, 50%, and 90% discount tiers are voter‑approved and not easily changed. My earlier suggestion came from comparing PTC’s current fees to USTA’s much higher pricing, but it’s clear now that the priority should be protecting the full five‑year discount program — not adjusting it.

Under USTA management, fees would be over double, which would drain the discount fund much faster. The City needs to explain how it will safeguard affordability and ensure the discount program remains fully funded for all five years of the levy.

Thank you to everyone who raised thoughtful questions and helped strengthen this conversation.
