The city is still trying to kill the golf course, and that will include the amphitheater everyone wanted and other amenities, like the driving range, and oh all of the open space that was the most desired in all the surveys.
One letter said $200,000 of your money was spent by the city on getting comments. But if you add up the last two years of reports from special consultants and the cost for extending their contracts, special employees hired, salary time for council and employees it would be almost one million dollars of your money. And you could add the cost of the previous two times they tried to eliminate the golf course.
Everyone is having fun there now with the new golf park. The golf course would not survive the changes needed to make a few houses. At last count the city owned over 30 parcels of empty land where housing could go. Ask them for the map of City Real Property Ownership.
Let’s move on and find space for houses without destroying other things especially what the founding fathers built and meant to be here forever for citizens to use.
