Pinewood Golf Course <br /> <br /> Mr. Portner presented the report. <br /> <br />Councilmembers expressed concern with making a decision quickly due to the <br />change in financial investors. They questioned why the change and asked for more <br />time to vet the new investors, noting this was a concern of area neighbors. <br /> <br />Mr. Portner stated only the financing plan has changed but the management group is <br />the same with a different name. <br /> <br />Trevor Birdsall, from the management group, stated the reason the financial <br />investors backed out was due to the condition of the course. <br /> <br />Mayor Dietz and Councilmember Christianson concurred noting the course was in <br />terrible shape when they completed a walk through the previous week. <br /> <br />Mayor Dietz suggested moving forward with the management agreement to give the <br />group time to provide more financial information. <br /> <br />Council concurred. <br /> <br />Mr. Beck discussed the changes needed to the resolution and noted the management <br />agreement could be extended for a longer term if Council desired. <br /> <br />Council left the agreement to the original term of 30 days. <br /> <br /> <br />
