Krishnan and Stroman thanked the Bartlesville city council and the voters in Bartlesville to propse and approve the G.O. Bond and CIP tax extenstion to fund pockleball courts for the city.

Krishnan explains that pickleball is a paddleball sport (similar to a racquet sport) that combines elements of badmintontable tennis, and tennis. Two or four players use solid paddles made of wood or composite materials to hit a perforated polymer ball, with 26-40 round holes, over a net.
