Council creates golf course advisory committee, appoints members

The City of Superior Common Council on June 17 approved the formal creation of a golf course advisory committee and confirmed four appointments to the body for one‑year terms expiring May 2026.

Mayor Payne said the committee already exists in practice but lacked a documented origin in council minutes; the formal memo in the packet proposed a committee to advise the city and the course’s management partner, Kemper Sports. Councilors amended the memo to remove a fixed monthly meeting date so the committee could set its own schedule.

The council unanimously approved the committee as amended and confirmed appointments of Scott Gordon, Barb Hogue, Troy Clark and Lindsay Grusky to one‑year terms ending May 2026. Council discussion noted that several appointee seats correspond to presidents or representatives of local men’s and women’s golf leagues and that the committee’s role was intended to provide local input to the management contractor. Councilors said the committee may revisit its description and membership later if the management arrangement with Kemper Sports changes.

The mayor and council described the committee as an advisory body that can adjust its organization and bylaws after it convenes and that any future changes would come back to the council for formal action.
