Crestview council approves lease for 66 Yamaha golf carts and 2 utility carts
Summary
The Crestview council voted 5–0 to enter a new lease agreement that will replace the Blackwater Golf Club’s fleet with 66 Yamaha golf carts and 2 utility carts; the city will pay off an existing promissory note and the vendor warranties range from one to four years.
The Crestview Unlimited governing meeting on the agenda approved a new lease agreement to replace the Blackwater Golf Club’s golf cart fleet. A city staff member told the council the plan will pay off an existing promissory note the city holds and then establish a new lease for a fleet of 66 Yamaha golf carts and 2 utility carts, which the staff member said would reduce routine maintenance and lower the operator’s monthly payment.
The staff member outlined warranty terms and clarified cart type: “It is a 4 year on many of the parts and pieces, and then 3 years for some electrical body part seals… and then 1 year on the battery,” and added, “these are gas carts, not electric carts, for the record.” Councilwoman Allison moved to approve the lease; Councilman Frost seconded. After clarifying the paperwork would include a promissory note payout and a subsequent official lease document, the mayor restated the motion and announced it carried 5 to 0.
The staff member said the existing fleet had “considerable maintenance issues,” and described the two-step paperwork process: an initial payout of the old promissory note followed by a single new lease agreement that will cover both golf and utility carts. No public comments were offered on the item before the council voted. The council did not discuss specific dollar amounts for the payout or monthly payment in the recorded remarks; those figures were not specified in the transcript.
