Llano City Council approves Club Car lease to expand Llano River Golf Course fleet
Summary
Council approved leasing 42 golf carts (up from 35) for Llano River Golf Course after staff recommended Club Car over Yamaha because of cost and a needed carry‑all accessory; the motion carried.
The Llano City Council approved a lease agreement to expand the Llano River Golf Course cart fleet to 42 vehicles after staff recommended Club Car as the more suitable and cost-effective vendor.
Dane, who spoke to council about the golf course operations, said the course currently operates with 35 carts and that weekends often produce a gap in available carts that forces the course to block tee times. "We think by adding 7 parts, that's gonna help alleviate some of that issue," Dane said, explaining the rationale for moving to a 42‑cart proposal. He also recommended Club Car, saying, "my recommendation is to go with Club Car" because Club Car's bid was cheaper and included a carry‑all accessory the Yamaha quote did not provide.
Council members discussed the effect on tournament operations and rental cart needs; one member noted that larger events would benefit from the added fleet and reduce the number of rental carts the course must bring in. A motion to approve the Club Car lease was made, seconded, and carried with no opposing votes recorded.
The council did not specify the exact contract price in the meeting; staff said the packet included comparative quotes and a corrected Yamaha proposal submitted the same day. Council thanked Dane for the presentation and moved to the next agenda item.
