News Notes

Golf course

The city subsidizes Henry Homberg Golf Course by about $250,000 each year, City Manager Chris Boone said, and Councilman Mike Williams wants to explore hiring a golf course management company. The course master plan estimates it would cost $20 million to make the course competitive, and after a bond failed last November, that money isn't there. KFDM
