Dear Fort Collins Parks and Recreation:
I appreciate the opportunity to apply for another five years of directing the tennis
program for the City of Fort Collins. Thank you for your support and encouragement
over the past, exciting five years.
I have thoroughly enjoyed developing and directing a tennis program for the
citizens of Fort Collins that they can be proud of. Over the years we have introduced
tennis to hundreds of children and adults and then provided them with programs to help
keep them involved in the game. It's been great seeing families participating together in
our Parent/Child events and seeing youngsters that started tennis in our program progress
to playing on their high school teams.
As I look to the next five years, my motivation and excitement for my position is
burning as strong as ever. I see the program extending its reach to more players every
year. A large base of new players is in place and we want to provide opportunities for
those players to reach their potential through tournaments and advanced player programs.
We also want to create interest in the community for increased programming in the spring
and fall. We want to continue to develop a program that people will view as one of the
benefits of living in Fort Collins.
Sincerely,
L Lewis

COMPANY PHILOSOPHY
The mission statement and goals for the program that I submitted five years ago has not
changed. We have held true to our mission statement and have accomplished our goals. The
mission and goals will be the same for the next five years with the added focus of increasing the
vibrancy of the program by creating more activity in the off season months, development of
regionally and nationally ranked players, and the further development of programs to serve "at
risk" youth and people who are physically and mentally challenged. An atmosphere of
friendliness and service will continue to be a priority at the pro shop. Whenever there is
dissatisfaction with product or services, an offer of a refund is always made. To have all our
customers satisfied is a major goal.
Mission Statement: "To grow the game of tennis in Fort Collins by making Rolland
Moore Park Tennis the center of tennis activity in Fort Collins. To provide quality programs at
all of Fort Collins City tennis courts. "
Making Rolland Moore the center of tennis in Fort Collins means that it would become
the clearinghouse for activities at all the city's tennis courts. Instructors would be trained at
Rolland Moore and then sent to the city's satellite courts to teach and run programs for children
and adults. Round robins, tournaments, game arrangement, group and private lessons, camps
for children and adults, special events such as mental and physical conditioning clinics would all
be held at the facility.
Junior tennis will be a major part of the operation. My philosophy on junior tennis is
that it is important to remember that the most important thing a child can develop from a tennis
lesson or activity has more to do with life skills than it has to do with tennis skills. Life skills
such as sportsmanship, concentration, dealing with winning and losing, goal setting, and
discipline. These are skills that will be taught right along with how to hit a topspin forehand.
The lessons are taught with lots of positive feedback and encouragement.

MAINTENANCE PROPOSAL
Lewis Tennis would provide the labor for the maintenance, but would not be responsible
for purchasing items needed for replacement or repair. The maintenance program would not
include court repairs such as cracks or resurfacing or painting buildings or sheds. Because of
our day to day involvement on and around the courts, we can provide a more timely and
effective maintenance routine that will free up other Parks and Recreation staff for other duties
and present a savings for the City in the way of maintenance personnel salaries.
Our goal would be to have the city courts be in top notch condition at all times for the
players. We would approach the maintenance with the same focus on quality and consistency
that we have demonstrated in all our programs.
The maintenance program would be done in lieu of payments to the City.
The maintenance program would consist of:
Preseason and postseason court preparation for Rolland Moore, Edora, Warren, City Park,
Fossil Creek. This would include putting up and taking down windscreens, cleaning courts, and
net replacement if needed.
During the summer months (June, July, August), the following items would be attended to 5
days a week at Rolland Moore & Fossil Creek. The Edora, Warren, and City Park facilities
would have these items attended to once per week during the months of June, July, and August.
1) Clean up any trash around pro shop and courts
2) Sweep or blow debris off courts, around pro shop and bleacher area
3) Empty court wastebaskets into trash receptacles
4) Repair any loose windscreens
5) Replace worn nets
6) Notify the City of any major maintenance concerns (court cracks, ripped nets and
windscreens, etc.)
