Golf course funding: City council approves up to $50,000 in matching money
In a split vote, the Powell City Council has decided to give up to $50,000 in additional funds to the Powell Golf Club — but only if the club raises $50,000 on its own. Contingent on the golf club’s fundraising efforts, the city will match each dollar raised by the club.
Monday night’s 5-2 decision came after an earlier motion to also commit $70,000 for the golf course in next year’s budget was defeated 3-4.
