Body

Parks and Recreation is requesting $16,000.00 of the available $424,000.00 remaining budgeted contingency in General Fund’s General Government Department for the purchase of a 2023 EZ-GO Hauler Elite Ball Picker Cart through Buyboard Contract #611-20 for the Battleground Golf Course.
This cart will be equipped with a ball cage that will allow staff to retrieve balls at the driving range during play. Currently, due to safety concerns, the driving range must be shut down for balls to be retrieved. Purchasing the new ball picker cart will enhance employee safety and improve the customer experience.
