Summary

Council approved entering a four-year state contract lease for 72 Club Car golf carts through dealer Lads, citing sole-source availability on state contract and expectations of increased monthly rates but affordability within the golf course budget.

Staff recommended and the board approved a four-year state-contract lease for 72 Club Car golf carts through the dealer Lads. The arrangement uses a state contract (sole-source for this equipment and terrain) and replaces prior cycles that included trade-ins; staff said the monthly lease rate will increase compared with the prior agreement but remains manageable within the golf course budget.

The director of golf (Matt Plop, referenced in the meeting) is noted in the staff memo. Staff emphasized safety features and the Club Car Connect system to regulate speeds on inclines and declines. The motion was made, seconded, and approved by voice vote.
