Committee weighs hole‑sponsorships and coordinated city communications for course improvements
Summary
Members discussed a Chamber of Commerce idea to sell hole sponsorships as a city revenue source, agreed a Chamber presentation could come to the committee, and confirmed city approval is required for city‑directed communications and utility‑bill mailings.
Committee members considered sponsorships and marketing options to promote the course and generate revenue. Speaker 2 said a Chamber of Commerce contact proposed selling hole sponsorships and framed it as a partnership with the city in which sponsorship payments would be remitted to the city.
“If it’s a way to generate revenue, I say let’s go for it,” Speaker 2 said, and volunteered to contact the Chamber to arrange a presentation to the committee.
Members also discussed public outreach timing and channels. Speaker 4 asked whether committee materials would need city approval before distribution, noting examples such as the city utility bill insert. Committee members agreed that city‑directed communications require staff or council approval and that the committee should coordinate with the city manager’s office or relevant staff for any newsletter or utility bill items.
Speakers said social media will likely be the most effective near‑term channel, but they emphasized avoiding premature claims until construction is visibly underway. Speaker 4 suggested simple, factual messaging once the project starts to build local buzz.
The committee did not approve sponsorships at the meeting; Speaker 2 will follow up with the Chamber and report back at the next meeting.
