The city’s Osceola Golf Course continues to lose money, even the the taxpayers subsidizing the facility. In his report, CFO Dick Barker tried to explain the $23,900 decrease in revenue from the first half of FY 2017 as being due to the “extremely cold winter/early spring experience.” However, the golf course had lost an average of $180K in the first six months of the past four years. The city more than doubled its subsidy the past two years.
