Council approves golf course year‑end report, renovation and simulator purchases
Summary
Councilors heard a year‑end report showing strong 2025 performance at the city-owned golf course, approved room renovation and a $64,009.90 simulator hardware/software package, and discussed staffing and capital items tied to continued investment in the facility.
Council members received a year‑end report on the city-owned golf course that showed 242 playable days for the season and 283 season-pass holders across several age groups, the presenter said. The presenter attributed financial improvements to prior capital investments and described grounds spending at roughly 34% of fixed expenditures versus a cited public‑facility average of 58%.
The council considered two contractor bids to renovate the downstairs room that will house a golf simulator. The presenter read two quotes: Irvine Construction at $28,897.85 and All Trades at $32,009.87, and recommended Irvine; the council approved the renovation quote by voice vote.
Councilors then reviewed an all‑inclusive hardware and software package for the simulator priced in the packet at $64,009.90, with first‑year software/hardware subscription costs included and an ongoing annual subscription estimated by staff at about $2,200 per year. The presenter described the simulator as training‑focused (practice and performance tracking) rather than a primarily social venue; the council approved the equipment package by voice vote.
Staff and councilors discussed anticipated staffing for simulator hours (seasonal/part‑time coverage) and remaining capital needs such as furniture and acoustic work. Councilors also reviewed other golf course capital items and equipment purchases included in the packet and acknowledged the course’s strong season.
