Council approves five-year golf cart lease; city says carts expected to pay for themselves
Summary
Council approved a five-year lease for new golf carts at a total annual cost below budget; staff reported strong cart revenue and battery warranty tied to lease length.
The council approved a five-year lease for new golf carts for the city golf course, with total annual lease payments reported at $84,600 and a multi-year term aligned with the battery warranty.
City staff described the lease as a renewal similar to a prior five-year arrangement. The leased carts are 2025 models to be manufactured to order and delivered from the plant; staff said the battery warranty is five years, which informed the lease term. The city expects the carts to be kept for the full five-year term.
Finance details provided at the meeting indicated the lease cost is under the line item in the budget (staff said $100,000 was budgeted). Staff also said cart operations have been profitable: “right now we're doing over $300,000 revenue on carts per year,” staff reported, and the lease is within budgeted expectations.
Council moved and seconded the lease approval; a voice vote approved the motion.
