Bids for golf operations coming (photo of boss that fired me illegally 3 years ago)

Photo at link. I was reinstated less than 4 months later thanks to my local union. I was fired in retaliation for filing a ADA complaint against the Parks Dept. He sat in front of me at the State Democratic Convention a few months later. He had to listen to people that didn't know he was sitting in front of me saying what an ass he was! He has since been promoted. Many of the golf workers will be losing their jobs if the courses are contracted out.

Omaha is close to teeing up its request for companies to bid on running the municipal golf courses.

City officials are less than two weeks away from soliciting bids, said Parks Administrator Steve Scarpello. If a bid is successful, a City Council vote could come early next year.

A consultant recommended that Omaha seek a firm to fully run the city’s seven municipal courses in order to stem financial losses. The city still would own the course land, which cannot be sold under state law.

Once the request is sent out, companies will be given about a month to bid, Scarpello said. City officials then will review the bids and determine whether any company meets the city’s requirements.

If a bid is up to snuff, the city will negotiate a contract with the company. Any agreement would need to be approved by the City Council, said Scarpello and City Attorney Paul Kratz.

If a bid is acceptable, Scarpello hopes to have an agreement in front of the council by the end of January. But he said nothing is certain.
