SARASOTA — For years, private groups have offered the city of Sarasota a deal that they said would stem the red ink from the beleaguered city-owned Bobby Jones Golf Club. For years, the city’s administration rejected them. But that may change after a majority of city commissioners said on Monday that they want to finally consider bringing in an outside firm to operate Bobby Jones. Implicit in the negotiations is a hope that the management company would shoulder some of the cost of an $11.5 million renovation project for the facility. While some commissioners were open to the idea of allowing the company to alter designs of the course, it doesn't appear likely at these early stages.
