Golf course lease negotiation
Summary
The golf course operator wants a 70-year lease paying about $5,000 a year — down from $5,000 a month — plus free water. The council balked at the length and the price but wants a full financial package before deciding, worried about losing the amenity if the operator walks.

Impact analysis
Current rent is about $5,000/month; the operator's offer would cut city revenue to $5,000/year over 70 years.
Golfers and the operator if a long-term deal is reached; the city if it negotiates better terms.
Potentially the golf course and its users if no long-term deal is reached and the operator departs.
