By a 5-1 vote, council members approved putting out to bid the purchase of new golf carts for the city-owned Lost Plantation Golf Course. The course has had 24 carts under a short-term lease for two months. Frank Owens voted against going for bids on the golf carts and wanted to see if the money that would go to purchasing new carts could be spent on fixing a road in Towne Park East behind the Subway, Shell station and Sonic restaurant instead.
