Councilmember Luke requested a moment of personal privilege .
Councilmember Luke moved and Councilmember Adams seconded to
reconsider the original motion to close the hearing and refer action
to a future Council meeting.
7 :38:43 PM Councilmember Luke said if the Council adopted Item Al2
relating to the Wingpointe Golf Course it would allow the
Administration to begin maintenance work immediately.
Councilmember Rogers called for a roll call vote to reconsider
the motion, which motion carried 4-3 . Council Members Adams, Luke,
Johnston, and Rogers voted aye . Council Members Mendenhall, Kitchen,
and Penfold vote nay.
Councilmember Luke moved and Councilmember Johnston seconded to
close the public hearing and adopt Ordinance 21 of 2016 adopting only
Item Al2 which would provide for maintenance costs at Wingpointe Golf
Course as outlined in the Administrations transmittal and refer action
on remaining items to a future Council meeting.
Councilmember Mendenhall spoke to the motion. She stated that a
proposal of the overall Golf Enterprise Fund had not been received and
felt the allocation of funding for Wingpointe Golf Course was being
rushed. Councilmember Mendenhall said because of those two reasons she
would vote against funding.
Councilmember Kitchen concurred with Councilmember Mendenhall' s
comments . He said he could not see how this was a good financial
decision for the Council or the City to spend this kind of money out
of context. He said as a fiscal responsibility he would vote against
funding.
Councilmember Penfold stated he would also vote no. He said he
was uncomfortable with the motion without the context of the overall
golf discussion.
Councilmember Johnston said he agreed with other Council Member' s
comments . He said he also saw this as an Airport discussion separate
from the Golf Enterprise Fund. Councilmember Johnston said he would
vote for funding because he believed it was worth the time and
investment to see the options .
Councilmember Adams stated she did not see any way Wingpointe
Golf Course was going to make money. She said if the Administration
wanted to take another look at options she believed it was worth
allocating funding to give them the opportunity and to preserve what
the City owns . Councilmember Adams said she would vote for the

funding.
Councilmember Luke stated the expenditure for Wingpointe Golf
Course simply preserved options . He said funding was not going to fix
the golf course or reopen it . He stated it would allow the
Administration time to work on a viable solution and it was important
to keep options open. Councilmember Luke said he believed it was
premature to close Wingpointe Golf Course without having broader
discussions, which was why he was in support of the motion.
Councilmember Rogers said he believed the whole golf conversation
would be the same as last year and the year before, and he did not
think it was ever the intention to look at closing any golf courses .
He said the Administration felt they were aware of something that was
not known then. Councilmember Rogers said he felt there maybe another
option to preserve the City' s assets before it was too late and was
completely lost.
Councilmember Mendenhall stated the Wingpointe Golf Course was
not open and was not being opened and there were no resources to open
it. She said there was no way this allocation would get the City a fix
with this golf course . Councilmember Mendenhall indicated the decision
to close Wingpointe Golf Course was made by the Council after eighteen
months of hard deliberation and real facts .
Councilmember Rogers called for a roll call vote, which motion
carried 4-3 . Council Members Adams, Luke, Johnston, and Rogers voted
aye . Council Members Mendenhall, Kitchen, and Penfold voted nay.
