The number of rounds of golf that <br />were played this year was 10,890, which is almost double from last year. As of the end of last week, <br />incoming revenues from the golf course were $142,085, which is up by approximately $45,000. Edwards <br />stated a more detailed report will be presented to the City Council in the near future. <br /> <br />MAYOR/COUNCIL REPORT <br /> <br />Levang stated she attended a Stay the Course meeting for the golf course where the group reviewed the <br />accomplishments for the year. The group felt that the Groupon deal did make a difference and they will <br />be looking at that for the future. The group also set some tasks and goals for the future as well as <br />planning to perform some work over the winter, such as installing a new counter and planning some work <br />on the putting greens. Levang noted the golf course does have quite a bit of activity in the winter with <br />sledding. <br /> <br />Levang noted the City did have their canvassing meeting earlier tonight and that she would like to <br />commend Rachel Dodge for a wonderful job on the election. Levang stated the election judges were very <br />enthusiastic and that the City had a good turnout. <br /> <br />Levang noted she did attend the November Park Commission meeting and that three new members were <br />seated on the Commission. Levang stated the Park Commission has had another two candidates apply <br />and that it is likely the Park Commission will have seven members on it in the very near future. The Park <br />Commission talked about setting some new maintenance standards for the parks and visits have been <br />made to most of the parks by the commissioners. Levang stated the group is very eager and enthusiastic <br />about the parks and that in her view the City will see a lot of good work from them. <br /> <br />McMillan stated Hans Bakery was very busy on Saturday and that the pump and pavement improvements <br />to the gas station also look nice. <br /> <br />McMillan noted the new Navarre book is hot off the presses and that it can be picked up at the Galleria of <br />Navarre. McMillan stated it is a wonderful book with a lot of information in it. McMillan stated the City <br />may want to do something with Navarre in conjunction with the book and that they can talk about that in <br />a work session. McMillan noted the Westonka History Museum is doing a lecture on Saga Hills in May, <br />which may be a good time to do it. <br /> <br />McMillan reported she attended the Orono Rotary meeting last Thursday and that they discussed the <br />Beacon Interfaith project. A representative from Beacon spoke about their organization and why they are <br />interested in doing what they are proposing.
