R-89-1296 - 6/22/1989WHEREAS, for approximately the past three years the City Council
and staff have reviewed the feasibility of providing a public golf
course for the City of Round Rock, and
WHEREAS, after reviewing numerous site proposals, the Council has
previously selected the "Franklin 582" tract as the preferred site
for a public golf course, and
WHEREAS, the Council has determined that a golf course on the
Franklin 582 tract would encourage the development of upscale housing
of which there is a current shortage in the City, and
WHEREAS, the Council has determined that the absence of a golf
course has had an adverse impact on industrial recruitment efforts,
and
WHEREAS, the Council has determined that a public golf course
will provide an additional recreational amenity that will be
convenient to all our local golfers, including our retired citizens
as well as provide a facility for our students and younger citizens
to learn the game, and
WHEREAS, under the proposal currently being considered, the cost
of the golf course will be borne by golf course revenues and not by
the taxpayers, and
WHEREAS, the City Council held a public hearing on June 22, 1989
to solicit public comment on the proposal golf course and has given
due consideration to the testimony received, Now Therefore,
BE IT RESOLVED BY THE COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF ROUND ROCK, TEXAS
That the Council hereby endorses and approves the proposed golf
course construction and financing plan and authorize staff to pro-
ceed with all appropriate actions necessary to begin construction of
the course by September, 1989.
RESOLVED this 22nd day of June, 1989.
