Council approves up to $25,000 for golf-course irrigation and pond dredging
Summary
The council authorized up to $25,000 to connect irrigation ponds, add a potable hydrant and dredge silt and cattails to improve irrigation reliability for the golf-course front nine; the motion passed unanimously.
Parks staff asked the council to authorize up to $25,000 to address irrigation infrastructure needs on the front nine of the city golf course. Proposed work included connecting the North Slough to the south irrigation pond and well via a culvert to improve pumping capacity, adding a potable fire-hydrant connection to supplement nonpotable water when needed, and dredging silt and cattails to increase pond holding capacity.
A staff presenter explained the operational benefits and the water-supply rationale, noting the work would help maintain the front nine’s turf during drought conditions. Councilor Yan Liu moved approval of the expenditure and the motion was seconded; the council voted unanimously to authorize the expenditure.
Why it matters: the work is intended to secure irrigation reliability amid drought conditions and to reduce maintenance burdens; council members raised operational questions about specific sprinkler heads and cattail growth during subsequent council comments.
The city will proceed with the prioritized infrastructure work up to the authorized amount and report back as required by standard procurement and project-tracking processes.
