Overland Park is moving forward on improvements to St. Andrews Golf Club.
The City Council on Monday voted 9-0 to approve an agreement with Schreiner Golf to provide architectural services including planning, drawings and contractor negotiation assistance for the remodeling of the course. The agreement is for $40,000.
Improvements include renovating the greens, some tees, the driving range, the pump station for the course's irrigation system, planning a new executive nine-hole course and replacing some cart paths.
Renovations are expected to begin Aug. 15, 2005, and end April 1, 2006. The course will be closed during that time, a city staff member said. The improvements are expected to cost $1.4 million, and all the money will come from golf course revenues.
The council also voted 9-0 to approve an agreement with Eagle View Golf to work with Schreiner Golf in the design phase. Eagle View Golf will serve as a consultant and help with things such as earth moving and grading calculations, scheduling and cost estimates. The agreement is for $20,000.
Council President Tim Owens and Councilmen Neil Sader and Jim Hix were absent.
Day care center agreement: Also on Monday, the council voted 9-0 to approve an agreement with Johnson County Park and Recreation District to continue to operate the Day Care Center at the Overland Park Community Center, 87th Street and Lamar Avenue.
The district will pay the city $500 a month in return for the city providing rooms for the program. The district will provide staff and operate the program.
The agreement is for two years and ends in August 2006.
