Title
Update on the Granada Golf Course Improvement Project.
Body
In the 2014-2015FY Capital Improvement Program budget, the City Commission approved funding in the amount of $910,000 for the Granada Golf Course Improvement project. Staff has proceeded to move this project forward.

Proposals for staff to carry out this maintenance plan will be presented during the upcoming budget proposal period for discussion and implementation.
Phase 2 includes the replacement of the rain shelters and reconfiguring of the cart paths.

Phase 3 includes a master plan discussion for the golf course area. This phase includes the possibility of a pedestrian network around the golf course, including resting areas, placement of approximately 300 palms, and consideration of possible lighting for the banyan tr...
