The Wahpeton City Council met last night.  While several items were on the agenda the most notable was discussion of a giving a grant to the golf course board to bring the organization to even footing.  Over the previous two city council meetings, including a special meeting called for the specific purpose of discussing the golf course, the current state and difficulties of the organization and possible solutions have dominated the meetings.  Economic Development Council Director Jane Priebe presented a plan that would give a grant to the golf course board that would bring current several loans that had become dangerously passed due.  Priebe also stated that the grant, of over $108,000, would also give the golf course board a chance to change the funding model that it has been operating under since 1997.  Several members of the golf course board spoke about the effect that flooding has had on the course and how a change would return the course to the way that it was operated before the flood of ’97.  The large loans needed to rebuild the back nine holes of the Bois De Sioux golf course created the situation of using the future years membership income to pay the previous years bills.  Priebe followed up by stating that without a long-term solution, golf course operations could fall to the city, the Minnesota side could be lost to loan default, or the land donation use agreement could fall apart causing the property to revert to its former owner, could be possible outcomes.  The council approved the measure with Aldermen Wateland and Hansey voting against the plan.
