Golf Course Advisory Board May 18, 2026

The City of Longmont Colorado Golf Course Advisory Board met on May 18, 2026, to discuss operational updates, capital improvement projects, and potential restructuring of the advisory board. Key procurement-related discussions included plans to replace the pump station equipment at Ute Creek with a budget of $475,000 and to replace the irrigation piping system at Sunset, with contracts expected to be signed soon. Additionally, a cart path concrete project at Sunset was scheduled for fall, coordinated with the city's utility department. The board also reviewed an $87,000 estimate for driving range improvements aimed at protecting infrastructure and enhancing service. Funding for these projects comes from bond collections and fund balances exceeding $5 million, ensuring no reliance on taxpayer money. The meeting also addressed water conservation efforts, irrigation system upgrades, and the use of new mowing technology. Finally, the board discussed a proposal to merge the Golf Course Advisory Board with the Parks and Recreation Advisory Board to improve efficiency and membership, with considerations for maintaining golf representation within the larger board structure.
