Golf advisory committee plans written input to Lago Vista comprehensive plan, sets near-term deadline
Summary
The Lago Vista Golf Advisory Committee agreed to draft and submit written input to the city's comprehensive plan with a target to have material ready before the council—s March meeting; the group also approved prior meeting minutes.
The Lago Vista Golf Advisory Committee agreed to prepare written comments for the city—s comprehensive plan that would emphasize investment in the golf course grounds and revenue-generating opportunities.
Committee members said the draft comprehensive plan did not sufficiently recognize the golf course as a recreational tourism asset and that existing language emphasized clubhouse improvements but not course investment. Members discussed preparing a concise submission, preferably in the same format as the draft plan, to increase the chances it will be incorporated into the final document.
Committee members set a target to have a polished input ready by the week of March 14 so it could be available before the city council—s second March meeting (noted in the discussion as March 20). Members proposed drafting a one-page bulleted summary that follows the consultant—s format, with an optional longer attachment for council consideration. The committee discussed convening one or more small working sessions at the golf-course pro shop meeting room to compile points and invited volunteers to help draft the submission.
Members also debated the committee—s broader work plan, including whether to undertake short interviews with city council members to collect perspectives on golf-course goals and priorities. Several members recommended keeping any council interviews short and, if undertaken, conducted by two committee members who would compare notes and anonymize responses in any summary for the committee.
On a procedural item, the committee moved and approved the previous meeting—s minutes. The motion to approve the minutes was seconded and approved by the committee; the meeting record shows the motion passed with no roll-call tally provided in the transcript.
Ending: The committee agreed to meet informally next week to begin drafting the comprehensive-plan input and set a goal to finalize the submission for council consideration in mid-March.
