Pleasant View golf committee approves preliminary 2026 capital and operating budgets
Summary
The committee overseeing Pleasant View Golf Course approved preliminary 2026 capital and operating budgets and agreed to present the package to the city finance process. Members also authorized staff to submit a final budget to finance and tentatively set follow-up meetings ahead of council review.
The committee that oversees Pleasant View Golf Course approved preliminary capital and operating budgets for 2026 and agreed to forward the draft to the city finance process for review and public hearings. Carl, who led the meeting in the chair, put the motions before the committee; both the capital and operating drafts passed by voice vote.
The budget discussion centered on a proposed capital program and the committee’s reserve targets. Jeremy, who presented the financials, said capital line items as presented were about $1.9 million and that the committee began the year with roughly $2.2 million in cash; under current projections he expected capital reserves to be near $1.1 million by year-end. He also told members the committee is proposing to increase the city PILOT rate from 3.19% to 5% to boost municipal receipts.
Committee members focused on sequencing and risk: Jeremy outlined a three-phase approach to a larger program that would relocate the practice putting green, expand the clubhouse/back patio and restrooms, and build a cart barn. He said the three projects together were currently in the $3.5–$3.7 million ballpark and that phasing would reduce immediate pressure on reserves. Members asked about contingencies for the parking lot and potential driveway replacement and emphasized leaving adequate contingency in reserves.
On procedure, Carl moved to approve the preliminary capital budget and the motion passed by a voice vote. The committee then moved the preliminary operating budget forward in a separate voice vote; Jim seconded the operating-budget motion. Jeremy said he will submit the final version to the finance department on the schedule discussed, and members tentatively set an internal follow-up for Oct. 20 so the committee can review the finance committee’s materials before council hearings.
Next steps: Jeremy will finalize and submit the budget to the finance department; the transcript records a finance committee schedule and city council hearings (finance deliberations in late September and November council hearings with final council action scheduled in mid-November). The committee did not adopt final appropriations; the approvals recorded were preliminary approvals to move the drafts into the city’s finance review process.
