GOLF COURSE PLAN <br /> Edwards noted at the last Park Commission work session they reviewed the capital improvement plan for <br /> the golf course,consisting of both golf related and other recreational opportunities. Based on the <br /> feedback from that meeting and the golf course subcommittee, a list of priorities was developed. At this <br /> time Staff is looking for endorsement from the Park Commission on the plan and the list of priorities. <br /> Also included in Staff's memo is a list of possible other golf course projects that are outside of the scope <br /> of the Golf Course Plan. <br /> Ruegemer asked if snow tubing would be allowed without the tow rope. <br /> Edwards indicated people currently snow tube at the golf course without a tow rope but that the snow <br /> tubes are currently not available at the golf course. Edwards stated if the golf course were to have snow <br /> tube rentals, it would require staffing. Edwards noted before any of these programs are implemented, <br /> they would be brought back before the Park Commission to review and finetune. <br /> Ruegemer stated she would prioritize the trail over the tow rope. <br /> Meyers stated from the feedback he has received, people are interested in the snow tubing with a tow <br /> rope,and that Council Member Seals felt the City had enough trails. Meyers noted the Park Commission <br /> would need to obtain the approval of the City Council to proceed with these projects and that the multi- <br /> use trail does not appear to have a lot of traction at the present time. <br /> Page 1 of 11 <br />
