Golf Course Advisory Committee urges EDC partnership; board agrees to consider a general external‑partnership subcommittee
Summary
Gage of the Golf Course Advisory Committee asked the EDC to partner on strategies to draw outside dollars to the golf course and recommended creating a small standing subcommittee; the EDC agreed to add a generalized subcommittee item to the next agenda and to hold interim meetings to develop proposals.
Gage, representing the Golf Course Advisory Committee, urged the Economic Development Corporation to partner with the golf course to attract more non‑resident revenue and recommended a small standing subcommittee to pursue joint fundraising and promotional strategies.
"One of the things we're all familiar with is...the golf course can draw significant dollars from outside in," Gage said, noting that roughly "50 to 60% of the play right now is by non‑Lago Vista residents." He proposed a 2–3 member subcommittee to coordinate efforts with golf course leadership and outside partners.
Nut graf: Board members responded positively and broadened the concept: rather than a golf‑only body they agreed to place a general subcommittee for external partnerships on the next agenda to consider golf and other opportunities. The chair asked interested members to meet informally with Gage and other stakeholders to craft proposals.
Ending: Staff recommended returning the item with a specific motion and named members at the next meeting; in the interim several board members volunteered to meet with Gage and potential partners to develop ideas.
