Orduno reported that the Golf Course Task Force met for the first time on Thursday, September 17 to begin discussions and plans for the proposed municipal golf course. The discussions involved the acquisition of additional land to expand a 9 hole executive golf course to an 18 hole executive golf course. The City had received three quotes. The low bid was for $900 to appraise Lots 1-5 (plus Outlot A) , and Lot 16 in the Industrial Park. The other bids were in the $3 , 000 to $4, 000 range. The reason the low bidder came in at $900 is that this company has done work in the area and has the information on his database. Staff asked Council to authorize Larson Appraisals to conduct an appraisal of the properties outlined above at a cost not to exceed $900 and charge the appraisal to the Golf Course Development Fund.
