It also includes a new name for the course.</p><p>“It would be called Mulligan’s at the Park,” said Andrea Doane, a former golf course owner and current accountant who hopes to lease the city-owned course.</p><p>The name is a new detail in her revised proposal.</p><p>“It’s not a lot of money in it for me personally, but I do want to do as much as I can for the city of Watertown,” Doane said.</p><h2>Revenue and projections</h2><p>According to Doane’s numbers, the golf course brought in $468,000 in revenue and lost $26,000 this past season through the end of September. The number could grow.</p><p>Doane is projecting nearly $650,000 in revenue next year.</p><h2>Lease terms</h2><p>Under the new proposal, Doane would pay $21,000 and take on operating costs.</p><p>The city would be responsible for repairs, including work on the clubhouse and the course irrigation system.</p><p>According to the proposal, Doane’s son has experience in waterline installation.</p><p>Watertown Mayor Sarah Pierce said the repairs are costs the city had hoped not to pay.</p><p>“Those costly expenditures are, I think, what the city was hoping to not have to spend money on, but then again it’s very difficult to find someone who would want to take those expenses on,” Pierce said.</p><h2>Negotiation team</h2><p>A negotiation team will meet with Doane. The team includes the city manager, other city employees and city council liaison Shane Garrabrant.</p><p>Garrabrant said the team will give the council and the public more of a voice in negotiations.</p><p>“It’ll create a more cohesive process where we’ll be able to give more real-time feedback in the negotiation process, rather than staff negotiating, then coming to us, then having revisions to that,” Garrabrant said.</p><h2>Monday’s meeting</h2><p>Doane left Monday’s meeting feeling optimistic.</p><p>“I got a lot of smiles, I think. I think. I’m not sure,” Doane said.</p><p>Council Member Robert Kimball disclosed Monday that Doane has been his accountant for the last couple of years. He said he believes it does not disqualify him from weighing in on the proposal.</p></div></body>
