When I left in 2004, there was Casey's, some place that had just re-opened after a fire, and a steak joint in the mall where a typical *business* meal could be had. I had a "social membership" just so the wife and I could have somewhere different to eat once in a while and I would have somewhere halfway decent and quiet for business stuff. If I recall correctly the cost was around 85/month. I don't golf so I did not spring for the full membership.
The city manager is the chief executive for the city. If ever there was a city in need of economic development Dodge City is it. To put it in real terms, if they were to raise his pay to cover the annual dues, it would only be a 50 cent per hour raise. If it was 10K/year I would think differently about it.
