Property values and tax revenue increases due to the golf course were discussed. City
of Idaho Falls accepts a loss of $200,000 on their golf courses due to the desire to keep
the added amenity to their community.
For the public meeting the committee would like to explain budget cuts and depreciation.
The committee decided to put out a fact sheet and an article for the newspaper. Further
discussion disclosed the review of the golf course as an amenity, tax base revenue, the
impact on the area and the attraction the golf course has on the area. It was moved and
seconded, passed unanimously to prepare a handout for the public meeting.
