According to a county staff report, the carts are necessary to operate the golf course and the vehicles will also generate revenue through user fees. The agreement, through a state contract, will allow the county to lease 62 golf carts and some accessories at a cost of $3,348 per month for 48 months. The vote to approve the deal was unanimous.
