Bloomington's municipal gears are turning once again as the City Council gears up for a public hearing that could see a local golf course change hands. Scheduled for February 26, Bloomington's officials will deliberate on the fate of Hyland Greens Golf Course during a session at the Bloomington Civic Plaza. Interested citizens will have a chance to voice their opinions, either in person or virtually, as the city considers handing the property over to the Three Rivers Park District.
Given that the ordinance could reshape a portion of Bloomington’s recreational map, the public's input appears particularly prized. Voices can be heard by attending the 6:30 p.m. meeting at 1800 West Old Shakopee Road, or by joining via electronic means—a nod to state law's accommodation. Those who wish to witness the proceedings silently can tune in to BTV on Comcast channels 859 or 14, or stream the meeting live on the city’s official channels.
For those seeking an active role in the discussion, options are provided in a tailored fashion. Dialing in at 1-415-655-0001 and entering the still-to-be-announced access code and password will queue citizens to speak by phone. The simplicity of pressing *3 stands as an open invitation to “raise your hand” and have words be potentially etched into local governance lore. Alternatively, testimony can be given in advance by leaving a voicemail or sending an email, but such input must be registered no later than 2:00 p.m. on the day of the meeting.
Details of the ordinance are readily available for those with interest at its website.
