Joplin Council Approves Golf Course Renovations


From today’s Joplin Globe:
Work to design a $320,000 irrigation system for Schifferdecker Municipal Golf Course will proceed as the result of Joplin City Council action.
The council on Tuesday night approved the project along with some contracts for work on stormwater drainage.
The council approved an agreement to hire EC Design Group to plat out the irrigation system for the golf course. Irrigation was one of the issues identified by consultant Larry Flatt, of Jefferson City, when he did a study two years ago of conditions at the course and made recommendations on how to fix the problems he said he found. Since the study, the city has spent $490,830 on construction projects and equipment purchases for the golf course, including buying a new fleet of carts.
The City Council cited sagging play and revenues at the course in its decision to renovate.
