The Lago Vista Golf Advisory Committee approved the minutes of its Aug. 26 meeting by voice vote and spent the remainder of the session on planning and membership items.

A motion to approve the Aug. 26 minutes was made by Mr. DeJardin and seconded by Ms. Mumford; the committee approved the motion by unanimous voice vote with no opposing or abstaining votes recorded. Members then discussed 2025 work-plan priorities, including outreach to the incoming mayor and the new city manager to align expectations and to share the committee’s previously drafted park and golf-related materials.

Members agreed to make time for one-on-one meetings between committee leadership and the incoming city manager and mayor to clarify objectives for the golf course and the committee’s reporting. The committee discussed coordinating its input into the city’s broader comprehensive-plan effort and to ensure the parks master plan work includes golf-course considerations.

The committee reviewed membership terms. Several members whose terms expire at the end of the calendar year indicated they will seek reappointment. The group discussed scheduling difficulties around Thanksgiving and Christmas and agreed not to schedule additional regular meetings for November or December unless a need arises; the next regular meeting was set for Jan. 27, 2026, with the caveat that members should confirm availability because officer elections typically occur at that meeting.

Why it matters: committee membership and liaison assignments shape which priorities get pushed to the city council and staff. The group emphasized early coordination with new council members, the mayor and the city manager to make sure the committee’s work feeds into city planning.

Ending: Members will reach out to the incoming mayor and city manager and will follow appointment calendars; any mid-winter needs may be addressed with special-call meetings.
