Oroville City Council has approved a significant contract amendment with Table Mountain Golf Course, ensuring the continued operation and maintenance of the city-owned facility. This three-year agreement will adjust the revenue-sharing model, allowing the golf course to retain more funds for essential projects while still providing financial support to the city’s airport fund.

Under the new terms, the city will receive $10,000 in the first year, with the golf course keeping an additional $25,000 for city-approved projects. This arrangement is designed to address the pressing needs of the golf course, which include improvements to its irrigation system, drainage, and cart paths. The second and third years will see the city’s share increase to $15,000 and $20,000, respectively, while the golf course continues to benefit from the retained funds.

The council emphasized the importance of transparency and communication, requiring the golf course to present its proposed projects annually for council input. This collaborative approach aims to ensure that the golf course remains a valuable community asset while addressing its operational challenges.

In addition to the golf course discussions, the meeting highlighted ongoing community initiatives, including the upcoming Salmon Run event organized by Feather River Gymnastics and the Feather River Parks District. The event, set to take place at Riverbend Park, aims to engage residents in community cleanup efforts and promote environmental stewardship.

City staff also provided updates on various infrastructure projects, including road maintenance and drainage improvements, as well as the anticipated rollout of a new 311 service for residents to report issues and access city services more efficiently.

Overall, the meeting underscored the city council's commitment to enhancing community resources and maintaining open lines of communication with residents and local organizations. As these initiatives progress, Oroville looks forward to fostering a cleaner, more engaged community.
