Golf-course projects include pond aerators and range-ball upgrades as staff cite revenue increases
Summary
Staff proposed pond aerators for three golf-course ponds and a range-ball dispenser capacity upgrade after reporting about a 60% increase in driving-range revenue since installing automatic dispensers; pond aerators have been on the slate two years running.
Staff proposed a package of golf-course improvements that includes three pond fountain aerators (estimated $27,000 total) and a $35,000 upgrade to range-ball dispenser capacity across the city’s three courses. Jessica Rhodes said automatic range-ball dispensers implemented four years ago generated about a 60% revenue increase for driving-range sales, creating demand to increase dispenser capacity at the busiest site.
The pond aerators were carried forward from last year’s slate; staff said they remain passionate about completing that water-quality project and will continue to pursue it through prioritization and potential outside funding. Board members suggested small ancillary purchases — like tee-replacement funnels — be added to the budget where appropriate.
