The Tamarac City Commission made significant strides in preserving local recreational spaces during their recent workshop on April 21, 2025. A key highlight was the approval of an amendment to the restrictive covenant for the Conroe West Golf Courses, ensuring these areas remain dedicated to golf and recreational use. City Attorney Hans Atsun explained that the amendment introduces two crucial restrictions: a unanimous vote from the City Commission will now be required to release the covenant, along with a 100% agreement from residential property owners within 400 feet of the golf courses.

This move aligns with similar restrictions in the area, such as those at Woodmont Golf Course, reinforcing the community's commitment to maintaining green spaces. The amendment not only safeguards the golf courses but also ensures that existing amenities will remain intact.

In addition to the golf course discussions, the Commission addressed an ordinance lifting the prohibition on alcohol sales in city parks. This change allows for the sale and service of alcohol under specific conditions, including approval from the city manager and the acquisition of a temporary alcohol beverage license.

The meeting also included a review of the first budget amendment for fiscal year 2025, which encompasses previously approved items and necessary housekeeping adjustments.

As the city moves forward, residents can look forward to updates on the new city website, which aims to enhance public engagement and accessibility. The Commission's decisions reflect a proactive approach to community development and resource management, ensuring that Tamarac remains a vibrant place for residents and visitors alike.
