The town's plan for opening the Pusch View course is two pronged. The plan calls for getting the course green and ready for play while, at the same time, seeking a lessee for the facility. The plan is detailed in a February 24th memo from Town Manager Mary Jacobs to the Oro Valley Town Council.
Town Manager Jacobs will present the plan to council at tonight's town council meeting. The plan calls for the town to operate the course for three years if no lessee is found. The course will operate from November though April each year.
Lease option determined by January 2022
According to the memo: "If a successful bidder is identified, the Town Council will then be asked to direct staff to finalize negotiations for a prospective lease and provide direction on any policy or financial commitments, if needed. If a lease is not feasible or there are no qualified proposals, staff and Indigo [Indigo Golf is the company that operates the town owned golf courses] will proceed with finalizing the Pusch course budget for incorporation in the FY22/23 Recommended Budget."
