Council moves forward on parks curfew, higher golf fees
June 27, 2012, 1:00 pm by James Walker
The Burnet City Council Tuesday took the first step toward establishing a curfew for the city?s parks and increasing the cost of play at the city-owned Delaware Springs Golf Course.
The council unanimously approved the first reading of a proposed city ordinance that would establish the hours of use for city parks as 6 a.m.-10 p.m.
The city manager could grant an exemption in some cases, the ordinace says.
The council also approved the first reading of an ordinance that would result in a 10 per cent increase in the dues and daily rates for golfers at Delaware Springs.
Council members Buddy Coker and Ken Graham asked Vaughn and Delaware Springs golf pro Doug Fipps to amend the ordinance to include higher dues and rates for golfers who are not Burnet residents for the council?s consideration at the second reading next month.

So Burnet wants to kick the kids out of the parks at 10:PM, which during the summer is a little after dark. Then they have to find some place to congragate or play sports in small goups, instead of being in larger groups right out in the open public view. Why do you want to take away a common meeting place that is easily patrolled and force them to hid out to enjoy talking, visiting and light sport activities. You waste money on organized activities but refuse to let them use the facilities on their own time. Try being smart and encurage them to congragate in public areas instead of accepting a ride from someone questionable or going to someones house. Most of them are just looking for a place to sit around and shoot the bull with their friends.
