Impact analysis
$390,000 — $150,000 reallocated from a closing software CIP and $240,000 from the general fund.
Golfers, neighbors, and golf course staff near the range are protected from errant balls; the course also saves on lost range balls and mower damage.
Critics argue taxpayers fund a golf amenity out of cycle that should be covered by course revenue.
