During a recent government meeting, officials discussed the financial management and future plans for Beechwood Golf Course, highlighting a significant shift in how operational profits will be handled. Currently, the golf course retains up to $50,000 of its operational budget profit, which is allocated to a non-reverting capital fund. This policy change will allow the course to retain all profits, enabling it to invest more in renovation projects and maintenance, thereby avoiding deferred maintenance issues.

Kyle, a representative from the golf course, emphasized the importance of becoming self-sustaining, particularly with the anticipated development of higher-end housing near the course. He noted that the course has seen record participation and revenue, with this year projected to surpass last year's record figures. The officials clarified that these profits are generated through operations and do not rely on taxpayer funding.

Council members expressed strong support for the new financial strategy, recognizing its potential to incentivize further improvements and revenue generation. The discussion concluded with plans to introduce an ordinance related to these changes at the council's first meeting in November.
