Hoyt Lakes council tables golf‑course clubhouse agreement for contract edits and revenue details
Summary
The council reviewed a proposed clubhouse agreement for the city golf course operator and directed staff to reword an unclear clause about payments, provide net revenue figures for the course, and prepare a revised two‑year draft for the next meeting.
The Hoyt Lakes City Council on Jan. 13 discussed the proposed 2026 clubhouse agreement for the city golf course operator and tabled the item so staff can make revisions.
Council members and staff discussed whether to offer a one‑year or two‑year operator agreement. Dean said the operator, Jenna, asked whether a two‑year contract was possible; several councilors said they were comfortable approving a two‑year agreement if the revised contract includes a termination provision for unsatisfactory performance. One councilor said historically the city had approved single‑year agreements while others noted multi‑year campground host arrangements can run longer.
Council members asked for clearer financial information on the golf course. A councilor requested staff provide net revenue figures for the previous year; staff agreed to include those figures in the next meeting’s financials.
Council also identified unclear contract language in clause 7 (the transcript’s clause text was garbled). Staff and the city attorney recommended rewording the clause so it clearly states the city’s payment obligation (the agreement currently references a $15,000 payment to the operator). Dean and Joel said they would revise the clause and return an updated agreement for council review. The council tabled the item and asked staff to prepare a redlined version for the next meeting.
