The Atlantic City Council, Wednesday evening, heard from Lucas Mosier, Board President of the Atlantic Golf and County Club, with regard to stormwater management issues affecting the business and surrounding area. He said the water has caused the course to be closed for more than three weeks this year, which means lost revenue. Mosier said they hope a culvert will alleviate the problems with stormwater run-off.

He says a culvert would free-up their tile line and help to prevent water from being backed-up to Country Club Circle. He said a culvert near Country Club Circle across the 16th fairway connecting to Palm Street, would be the best case scenario. Mosier said the business pays $3,000 per year in stormwater fees, while neighbors in the area pay the standard stormwater fee of slightly more $17 per billing cycle, so the City should help resolve the issue in a timely, cost-effective manner.

He said a similar course of action helped the Nishna Hills Golf Club deal with some of their run-off issues. Mayor Dave Jones said before the City can do anything, there needs to be an engineering study and cost estimate. The matter will be sent to the Community Development Committee for further review.
