5. Discussion and Possible Action on a Feasibility Study for the Development of a
Municipal Golf Course.
Lengthy Discussion.
John Payne indicated that before he makes a decision, on this project, it would only be
in the interest of the city and the citizens for the Board to take the steps that are
necessary in finding out whether or not this will be a benefit to Sanger or not. He then
expressed that the Study was necessary.
Beverly Branch indicated that at the last meeting, the citizens did not speak in favor of
a golf course.
Thomas Muir expressed concern that since he does not know what this study entails,
it would be difficult for him to vote one way or the other.
Discussion continued.
Other issues addressed were the following: The other project needs of Sanger. The
benefit to the City. The determination of the study and the citizens input concerning
the expense for this project.
Discussed was not having adequate information for the Board to make a decision.
The Board discussed that they would like a Representative from the $20,000.00
company and the $2,500.00 to come and addressed the Board concerning their
proposals.
John Springer addressed the Board to possible consider conducting a master plan and
land use study which would incorporate the golf coune, recreation area. Once this is
accomplished, the Board could pursue not only a golf course but multiple golf courses
through retirement centers.
Discussion continued.
Beverly Branch made a motion for future action on a feasible study and to invite these
companies to come and make a presentation concening the study, what they entailed
and the cost. Seconded by Tommy Kincaid. Motion carried. Glen Ervin voted No.

Rose Chavez addressed the Board in the possibility of getting assistance in the
