Council adopts new golf course rules, fees and policies after split votes
Summary
The council accepted the Golf Board’s recommendations and approved resolutions amending tournament fees and policies for the Russell Municipal Golf Course; minutes record multiple council members voting in opposition on some items and include an apparent inconsistency in the recorded roll for one resolution.
The Russell City Council on Dec. 17 accepted recommendations from the Golf Board and approved updated Golf Course Rules, Tournament Host Policies and a resolution amending tournament fees and course closure time for tournaments at the Russell Municipal Golf Course.
Councilmember Blaine Stoppel moved to accept the Golf Board’s recommendation to approve the Golf Course Rules and Tournament Host Policies; Councilmember Dustin Madden seconded and the motion passed with Councilmembers Michelle Wagner-Schneider and Caleigh Befort recorded as voting in opposition. Separately, the minutes record approval of a resolution adopting tournament policies and guidelines; those minutes list Councilmembers Dustin Madden, Michelle Wagner-Schneider and Caleigh Befort as voting in opposition while also recording Madden as the motion’s maker, an internal inconsistency in the minutes that the council minutes themselves reflect.
The minutes do not include dollar amounts tied to every fee change in the body text but do record that a resolution amending fees and the time allowed for tournament play was approved; the fees resolution is recorded as carried unanimously. The council’s actions revise play time and tournament policies and will be implemented by the golf course staff under the adopted rules and fees; no appeals or administrative review processes are described in the minutes.
