Public Trust for Public Golf Course

A municipality that I represent is wanting to create a public trust to own and operate their golf course.  The property is in the City's name but it has been managed by a non-profit for 30 or 40 years under a long-term lease.  They are undergoing some changes and everyone feels like a public trust would be a good option.

I have limited experience is setting up a public trust, especially for these purposes.  I would be interest in knowing if anyone has any resources or advice for me as I begin this process.

Thanks,
Johnny Sandmann
