An agreement will permit operators of Cedarbrook Golf Course to draw water from a pond on city property for the golf course.
Iola City Council members gathered in a special meeting with Cedarbrook owners Bob and Larry Macha Thursday, three days after they heard about the golf course’s unique arrangement with the city.
The city acquired what was the western half of the golf course in 2009 for potential development. As part of the agreement, Cedarbrook retained ownership of water pumps and other irrigation equipment in one of the ponds acquired by the city.
