Residents and neighborhood representatives urged the City Commission to consider options other than selling the municipally owned Ocean Palm golf course, arguing the property can provide recurring revenue and recreational value if managed properly. Speakers said the city has successfully used the site to reduce nuisance activity in the past and urged the commission to weigh long‑term revenue and community benefits prior to sale.City staff said a possible purchase proposal from John Patrick Capital (presented earlier to the commission) remains an active alternative. The city manager and the developer will hold a teleconference; staff said it would brief the commission after that call. The city attorney noted that any potential buyer would purchase subject to an existing lease; as long as the current tenant remains on site, a sale that substitutes a new tenant would be subject to that tenant’s existing lease terms.Residents requested a public workshop or commission discussion focused on whether the course can be profitable, what recurring revenue it could create, and whether retention and improved oversight are viable. The commission agreed to set a public forum or workshop on the golf‑course options once staff has had the scheduled call with the interested developer and has a clearer package of alternatives to present.
