SANDPOINT — The City Council is letting the Baldfoot Disc Golf Course play through.

The council voted unanimously on Wednesday to extend an access agreement for the disc golf course through March 31, 2019.

But the fate of the course beyond that date is as up in the air as a well-thrown drive.

The Eureka Institute in Sagle entered into an agreement with the city in 2013 so Eureka could develop an 18-hole disc golf course and a nine-hole family course on property owned by the city on Baldy Mountain.

The city contemplated relocating its wastewater treatment plant to Baldy Mountain, but the council decided in August to upgrade the existing facility near Lakeview Park. The decision raised questions about what to do with the Baldy Mountain property.

Steve Holt, executive director of the Eureka Institute, said he was grateful for the city’s support of the project.

“The project has been an overwhelming success. I think we’ve estimated over a 100,000 visits at this point in time,” Holt told the council.

Holt and members of the Sandpoint Disc Golf Association are hopeful Baldfoot can remain on Baldy.

“They are really hoping that we’ll have an opportunity to continue that project,” Holt said.

John Gaddis, secretary of the disc golf association, estimates that the courses see 20 plays a day during winter and as many as 70 plays a day during the summer.

Holt urged the city to find a way to retain the property or at least slow its roll if the council decides to divest the parcel. Holt said he and Councilwoman Shannon Williamson have met with city officials and a member of the Kaniksu Land Trust, which Holt said has expressed an interest of acquiring the parcel.

“If the city were to turn around and sell it to anybody, then we’d end up with a lot of homes out there. We’d lose a park. Any time we can garner and acquire open space on the fringes of our community, it’s such great community asset,” said Holt.

The council took the requests under advisement and voted to extend the agreement without discussion.
