Mayor Tate then commented that after meeting with the Park
Board and the Golf Assoeiation and stuflying the proposal, that
it was his belief that Southwest Golf and Development Corpora-
tion is extremely profit motivated. He further commented that
under the proposal from Southwest, the City would be taking
the same. financial risks as if the City owned the course, and
would also be givi.ng up some control. He then stated that it
was his recommendation to advise Southwest that the City is
considering building �he course themselves , but not to rule
out the fact that in the event of problems , the city may sti.11
be interested in a managment proposal. Mayor Tate then commented
that under any �roposal the City wauld have to be responsible
to the architects in the .final design of the course and suggested �
that .money be expended to hire Mr. Howard and possibly Mr. Byron `'
Nelson to come up with the final drawing so that estimates can
be obtained concerning the actual cc�st of the course. Mayor Tate
commented that the change in the corP policy would make it im-
possible to exter_d the life of the lease through the cost sharing
program, but through City f_inancinc�, the life of the course
could be exten�ed another six years. The Mayor further stated
that at this time, the city has 640 acres, and extended develop-
ment planned, and that in his opinion it would not be wise to
give up management rights to the entire faci.lit;�.
C�unci_lman Pirkle stated that he concurred tivith the statemonts
made by the Mayor.
Councilman Dalton stated that if pr_ofit had to be guaranteeci,
that the City should be the recipient of that profit.
Councilman Dunn asked �vhat would the adva.ntage be i.n lauild�ng
the r.orth portion of the course befor_e the South 18 holes.
The Ci.ty DZanager ans�vered that there cvould be less soil to mo�e,
therefore, cutting construction costs. He also stated that the
top soil was better in that area and as a result, the grass
�` would grow faster and better.
Councilman Gliver stated that he concurred with the mayor�s
statements and that he too, �vas in favor of the City building
the course.
There was little other discussion. Councilinan Dunn made a
motion to authorize the City Maizager to obtain a proposal.
