Commission tables Ocean Palm Golf Course sale to Jan. 8 after buyer seeks extension
Summary
Commissioners voted to table second reading of the Ocean Palm Golf Course sale ordinance to Jan. 8, 2026, and approved an addendum extending the purchaser's contingency period through Jan. 31, 2026, after the purchaser requested more time and city attorney confirmed consent from the operator.
The City Commission agreed to table second reading of Ordinance 2025-28, approving the sale of Ocean Palm Golf Course (3600 South Central Avenue), and approved an addendum to extend the buyer's contingency period. The buyer's counsel had requested the delay; city attorneys reported counsel for the purchaser consented to extend the contingency to January 31, 2026 and requested a date-certain hearing on January 8, 2026 when the purchaser is expected to be present.
Resident public comment asked whether protecting the course could be placed on the ballot via a charter amendment; the supervisor of elections advised the commission that the city could not meet the March ballot deadlines for new charter language. The commission recorded a unanimous vote to table and to approve the addendum extending the contingency period.
The tabling preserves the city's and purchaser's options until January and avoids re-noticing requirements while giving the public and commissioners one more hearing date to consider the ordinance.
