Pine Valley golf course needs work and the city wants to apply for a grant that would help it figure out where to start.
On Monday, city council will be asked to approve a grant application to the Northern Development Initiative Trust for up to $9,000 to help fund a golf course improvement study.
The total estimated cost of the study is up to $20,000. The remainder of the expense would be covered by a 2016 capital project funded by the capital expenditure reserve.
"Pine Valley has had some significant changes in the last 12 years and this study will inform the city on how to best maintain the current assets and prioritize capital upgrades," said a staff report to council.
The study would address the potential for reconfiguring the course and adding a driving range; the associated costs and economic impact of a potential reconfiguration; and the status of the current irrigation system and whether it's feasible to fix it or if it should be replaced.
This year, city budgeted $25,000 for Pine Valley improvements and spent $7,859 in 2014.
