Shoop Park redevelopment and 50-year lease

The city is considering a deal with the Leipold Johnson Golf Group to stabilize the shoreline, build a clubhouse, and lease and operate Shoop Park as a dune-style golf course. Residents packed public comment worried about the 1917 deed requiring a public park, tree and bird habitat loss, and future golf fees. The council referred it to the Executive Committee, with a possible vote July 21.
