Strategic Plan Link: The City's Goal to enjoy culture, nature and fun activities.
Executive Summary (General Business): Three of the City's qualifying non-profit 501.C.3 organizations, who each have a direct affiliation with the City, have informed The Saints Golf Course of their desire to hold a golf tournament in 2025 per Management Directed Policy #22-01md.

Alternate Recommendations:
