Bennett Valley Golf Course subsidy

Santa Rosa

Summary

The golf course keeps its $500,000 general fund subsidy, and Council Member Rogers pressed on when it ends. Staff said debt service ends in 2031 but warned major infrastructure needs — including a $10 million irrigation replacement — remain, with a new operations contract and public-private partnership planned.
