Jamestown (CSi) The Jamestown City Park Board on a 3-2 vote, has rescinded rate increases for the Hillcrest Municipal Golf Course for 2014, a $50 increase in the annual rates for eight membership categories.
Vice Chairman Mike Landscoot and member Joyce Heinrich opposed.
Parks and Recreation Department, Director, Doug Hogan said he recommended keeping the rates at the 2013 level because of the amount of work that will be taking place during the early part of the 2014 golfing season.
Hogan recommended the rate increase happen in 2015.
In 2014, ome of the course’s holes would be closed early in the season and some temporary tee boxes would be in place as well.
Work on the golf course should be completed by middle to late summer in 2014.
The park board agreed to a $21,400 contract with Herfort Norby Golf Course Architects to design $301,400 in improvements to the golf course, a continuation of improvements the commission had done to the course this year.
In other business, the city park board members said they will likely support replacing the Jack Brown Stadium sound system, pending sponsorship to help pay the costs
