Lake City Council OKs up to $6,000 to build disc golf course at Wayne “Biscuits” Short ballpark
Summary
After a presentation on costs and layout, the Lake City Council voted unanimously to appropriate up to $6,000 from the general fund for a disc golf course at Wayne “Biscuits” Short ballpark; the project estimate is $5,683.
Jason Garner and Dustin Lancaster presented a proposal to construct a disc golf course at the Wayne “Biscuits” Short ballpark, and the Lake City Council voted to fund the project from the city’s general fund.
The presenters told the council that disc golf has grown in popularity and showed a slideshow explaining the course layout and materials. They estimated the total cost at $5,683.00 for installation, signage and basic equipment.
After discussion on funding and logistics, Councilmember Danny Dunigan moved to appropriate funds for the course and Councilmember Brenda Hutcheson seconded. The council approved an appropriation of up to $6,000 from the General Fund in the 2023 budget to cover the project; the motion passed 6-0.
The money will be included in the 2023 budget appropriation; the council did not specify additional maintenance funding at the meeting. The decision follows the presenters’ overview of expected site use and materials, and the council’s vote authorizes staff to include the payment in next year’s budget.
The council’s next regular meeting is scheduled for Jan. 16, 2023.
