Council discussion ends without clear direction on potential golf-course purchase
Summary
Keystone Heights council discussed whether to pursue purchase of a nearby golf course; a motion to stop pursuing the purchase was recorded as failing and members asked staff to return with a timeline and place the item on the March agenda.
Councilman Tony Brown asked whether the city should move forward with pursuing purchase of a nearby golf course, saying the council needed clarity on whether to continue exploring acquisition options. City Manager Charlie Van Zant said he would not proceed without a realtor and invited additional analysis before any commitment.
Councilman Brown moved to stop pursuing the golf course and Vice Mayor Christine Thompson seconded. The motion was recorded in the minutes as failing (transcript: "The motion failed 3-2"). Councilman Dan Lewandowski noted the course lies outside the city limits and said the city would not inherit taxes from Bradford County if it acquired the property; Van Zant offered to return with a timeline, and Lewandowski asked that the item be added to the March city council meeting agenda.
