Volunteers ask Tuttle council to approve expansion of popular disc-golf course
Summary
Todd Littleton told the Tuttle City Council the course has recorded nearly 6,000 app-tracked rounds in two years and asked to use additional city land near the floodway for a second course; council signaled support but asked staff to check utility locates and access before any ground work.
Todd Littleton, who presented the disc-golf group’s request to the Tuttle City Council, asked the city to allow use of additional land on the west side of the floodway to add a second course. Littleton said volunteers and local donors have built and maintained the existing course and that app-tracked play logged “nearly 6,000 rounds” in two years, a figure he said understates total recreational and tournament use.
Council members asked staff to confirm access and safety details before approving ground disturbance. “We’ve got pipelines out there; any excavation requires a locate,” said a city staff member, and the council emphasized following 811 locate procedures and coordinating with utility owners. Littleton said the volunteer group will accommodate city needs and can shift or remove features if required.
Mayor McLeroy and other council members expressed general support for the project, noting the course brings regional visitors and increases park use, but asked staff to verify underground utilities and access routes and to return with formal terms for expanded use. Council did not make a formal motion on-site; staff was directed to work with the group on site reviews, locates and any required agreements.
The next step is for staff to confirm utility locates and return to council with a recommended lease or use agreement that limits excavation until locates are complete and secures the city’s right to require removal or modification if public-safety or access concerns arise.
