Advisory committee to draft strategic plan, seek council guidance and prepare public updates on irrigation benefits
Summary
The committee agreed to revisit its work plan and consider a 5‑year strategy for the golf course and clubhouse, to ask the council for formal direction, and to draft neutral, factual communications (potentially via the mayor or Chamber newspaper) explaining irrigation benefits to taxpayers.
At its May 26 meeting, the Lago Vista Golf Course Advisory Committee discussed moving beyond immediate operational fixes to develop a longer‑range strategy for the course and clubhouse and to improve public communication about the irrigation project.
Members said the committee's current work plan has been in a holding pattern and proposed adding an agenda item at the next meeting to review and update the plan. Several members urged the liaison, Jess, to bring the committee's proposal to the city council so the council can either endorse or refine the scope of a five‑year strategic effort.
The committee debated how to manage public perception of the irrigation investment. One member suggested a neutral summary in the Chamber of Commerce newspaper or a short mayoral update to explain economic and community benefits rather than appear to be advertising. A volunteer (speaker S7) offered to draft an outline for the committee's review; the group agreed any public messaging must be approved by the mayor or city manager before release.
Members also discussed gathering input from stakeholders — including the golf manager (Greg), club members, the MGA and WGA — and producing a short list of three to five prioritized clubhouse or customer‑experience improvements (for example, restroom fixtures, patio work, or kitchen/restaurant equipment). The committee asked Greg to provide his wishlist and any assessment documents he used, and asked Jess to check the status of the city parks/master plan and report back.
The meeting closed with the committee scheduling its next meeting for June 23, 2026.
