Park projects take the lead in Sherman budget talks
As budget season approaches, Sherman leaders are considering investing in area parks.
Members of the City Council discussed proposed projects in city parks this past week as a part of a capital improvements meeting which allowed city leaders to discuss possible projects ahead of the city s annual budget retreat in June.
Among the projects that was discussed during the meeting was an expansion of the Fairview Park tennis courts, which have been in high demand recently for pickleball. Pickleball has become very popular and the current pickleball courts . are actively used all the time, Assistant City Manager Clint Philpott said. So, there have been requests to expand the tennis courts to include additional courts.

The city of Sherman could soon issue debt for future projects down the road. The Sherman City Council recently gave city staff guidance to look into issuing up to $30 million of debt ahead of expected road and facility projects.
The move comes as city leaders have considered issuing debt ahead of schedule to take advantage of historic-low borrowing rates that are projected to increase.
After determining there was an appetite in January, city staff presented a list of possible projects to determine how big that appetite was. We talked through the theory of the good, the bad and the ugly of issuing debt earlier than we would normally issue it, and this is really a continuation of that discussion a few weeks ago, City Manager Robby Hefton said.
