Anaheim : Council to Discuss Golf Course Fee Hikes

The City Council on Tuesday will revisit a proposed series of fee hikes at the two municipal golf courses and will also again discuss ways to deal with the proliferation of yard sales throughout the city.

Two weeks ago, the council postponed voting on the golf fee hikes, which were proposed to make the H.G. (Dad) Miller and Anaheim Hills golf courses more profitable.

Under the new rates, the golf courses would charge weekend rates on Fridays and double weekend tournament fees to $10. Friday fees would increase from $11 to $13 for nine holes and from $16 to $22 for 18 holes.

The proposed changes could raise city revenue by $160,000 annually. The courses now bring in about $1.5 million each year to the general fund, officials said.

Last month, the council backed away from drafting an ordinance that would place restrictions on yard sales, which are already prohibited under the city’s zoning code.

Councilman Frank Feldhaus, who complained that the estimated 200 sales each weekend are blighting the city, has requested that the subject be brought up again for discussion.
