Ordinance 2025-176 authorized the mayor to contract with Enbridge Gas Ohio for a gas-line extension to install heaters at the Foxton driving range; officials said the measure will help winter operations and generates revenue for the course.
Council approved Ordinance 2025-176 authorizing the mayor to enter into a contract with Enbridge Gas Ohio (East Ohio Gas Company) to install a gas-line extension to the Foxton Golf Course driving range to enable installation of driving-range heaters.
Parks and operations staff said the course crossed $2 million in revenue earlier in September and that demand at the range has increased; staff described the extension as a revenue-generating investment that would allow the range to operate more effectively in colder months. The administration said work includes a one-time upfront deposit to Enbridge and that some equipment adjustments (conversion from propane to natural gas) can be made in-house.
Council moved the ordinance on a suspended‑rules adoption and approved it in the same meeting. Staff said the timeline for work depends on the utility’s schedule; once the city signs the contract and provides the initial invoice payment, Enbridge will schedule the extension.
