    Interim City Manager addressed the myriad of needs at the Eagle Pass Municipal Golf Course saying that he has both short-term and long-term plans to address this issue which came to a head two weeks ago when a special meeting was held with the Eagle Pass Golf Association in the audience.
    "We proposed a short-term and a long-term plan," said Interim City Manger Hector Chavez, "We are adding two full time employees to Parks and Recreation and irrigation specialist and a mechanic/groundskeeper.  The new miniature golf course which has already been approved will provide revenue to continue the upkeep of the golf course's greens."
    Chavez also indicated that the city would purchase an irrigation pump to fuel the course's ailing sprinkler system which is being worked on as we speak with parks personnel busy digging to find lost sprinkler heads after the last heavy rain we had earlier this year.
    "We would also propose the Eagle Pass Agronomic Plan for 2015 which suggested what we need to put in there such as the wetting agent, herbicide, liquid fertilizer anything we can do for the next year to bring the greens back to life.  This is going to have a cost of $19,000.00.  That is also included under this year's budget for the golf course.  We had also identified that we needed to purchase two pieces of equipment at a cost of $34,000.00 apiece in order to address this properly."
