Council member asks for review of Paradigm agreement over neighborhood complaints at Sierra Vista Golf Course
Summary
A council member asked staff to place a review of the city's agreement with Paradigm (course operator) on a future work session agenda and requested a legal opinion on whether operating-hour changes or liability adjustments require a contract amendment; staff said the matter may require executive session review.
A council member asked the mayor and staff to schedule a review of the city’s agreement with Paradigm, the operator of the Sierra Vista golf course, following recurring resident complaints about events and property damage. The council member requested the city attorney provide an opinion on whether the agreement must be changed to adjust operating hours and whether Paradigm is responsible for damages to private property.
Why it matters: resident concerns about course operations involve potential changes to a city agreement, private-property damage claims and possible changes to contractor obligations; those issues can affect local quality of life and require legal review.
What was requested
Council Member (unnamed in the transcript) read an emailed complaint from a resident asking for greater sensitivity by Paradigm to neighbors and requested that "at the next work session, we discuss the Paradigm contract." The council member also asked that the city attorney provide an opinion on whether an agreement change is needed to adjust operating hours and whether Paradigm is responsible for damages such as broken windows.
Staff response and process
Mayor McCall and city staff said they would place the item on a future work session agenda and noted that because the topic involves contracts and potentially proprietary information, it might need to be discussed in executive session. The council member also asked that a Paradigm representative brief the council on how the company handles comments and complaints.
What was not decided
No action or vote was taken; staff said they will consult the city attorney and determine whether the subject requires executive session. No legal opinion or contract amendment was produced during the work session.
Ending
Staff said they will coordinate with the city attorney and place the item on a future agenda if appropriate; the council member's request will return for discussion following the attorney's guidance.
