Title
Consideration of and action on applying for a grant from the Texas Golf Association for the Battleground Golf Course.
Body
Summary:
The City of Deer Park is working with Touchstone Golf to purse a matching grant from the Texas Golf Association. The grant project to be submitted would be for the removal of several dead trees located on the Battleground Golf Course. These trees post a safety risk for golfers and impact the course’s playability and aesthetics.
As part of the grant, the City is proposing matching $11,000 in funds to supplement the potential $10,000 from the TGA Muni-agronomy grant. The City has received cost estimates from three (3) companies to complete the estimated work and the median price was estimated to be around $21,000. If awarded, the City would seek updated pricing and formal quotes for the removal of the trees.
Attached to this item is a copy of the grant application, grant information, and grant contract.

$11,000 to be allocated in the Golf Course fund.
