TITLE
A RESOLUTION ESTABLISHING GOLF CART FEES AND FEES TO BE PAID
FOR PLAY UPON ELMWOOD AND WALKING STICK MUNICIPAL GOLF
COURSES INCLUDING THE TRIPLE ANNUAL GREEN FEE PASS FOR PLAY
UPON THE CITY MUNICIPAL GOLF COURSES AND THE COUNTY OF
PUEBLO DESERT HAWK GOLF COURSE AND RESCINDING ALL OTHER
RESOLUTIONS RELATING TO SUCH FEES
ISSUE
Should the City Council approve a resolution establishing golf cart fees and fees
to be paid for play upon Elmwood and Walking Stick Municipal Golf Courses?
Approval of the Resolution
The Golf Course Enterprise Fund has been operating at a deficit primarily due to
the debt service payment expense for the construction of Walking Stick Golf
Course. Over the years, the golf course reserve fund has been used to offset
this deficit, however, this fund has now been exhausted. Other factors such as
the recent economic downturn, water restrictions/course closure at Walking Stick
and the re- opening of the renovated Desert Hawk Golf Course have also
impacted the City courses.
To return the Golf Course Enterprise Fund to economic viability and address
future capital outlay and improvement needs, the current fee structure was
reviewed and the following adjustments and new fees are being recommended:
1) Daily Green Fees at Elmwood be increased $2.00 per 18 hole round
(same as the Daily Green Fees at Walking Stick);
2) Increase the Improvement Fee $1.00 per nine holes of golf on all adult
residents and non - residents. Currently adult residents pay $3.00 per nine
holes and adult non - residents pay $6.00 per nine holes;
3) Establish a discounted Promotional Daily Fee Package which includes a
green fee, cart fee and improvement fee offered at a discounted rate at
hours and days to be determined at each City course based on course
availability in order to encourage play during the traditional down time.
The recommended promotional fee is $24.00;
4) Establish a Military Personnel Improvement Fee during hours and days to
be determined at each course based on course availability in order to
encourage play during the traditional down time for active and retired
military personnel, which is the same rate as the resident improvement fee
for nine holes of golf_ The recommended fee is $4.00; and
5) Adjust Goff Cart Fees for both courses ($2.00 increase on 18 hole round
of golf for two riders). Cart fees were last adjusted in 1996.
The Golf Course Manager and City staff conducted a meeting with area golfers
on November 26, 2003 in City Council Chambers to explain the proposed new
fees and adjustments.
At the December 22, 2003 meeting, City Council voted to delay action on the
resolution until February 9, 2004 so that a Goff Committee could be formed to
evaluate the financial status of the golf course enterprise funds and the proposed
fee increases as well as recommend future capital outlay and improvement
needs.
The committee and City staff met on January 20, 2004 at which time the
proposed fee increases were endorsed and specific course improvements
defined which included: 1) replacement of golf carts at both courses; 2)
renovation of the cart path at Walking Stick; 3) construction of two new restroom
facilities at Elmwood; 4) upgrade of the Walking Stick course restrooms; 5)
fertigation capability for the Walking Stick irrigation system; 6) the understanding
that course operating budgets would be adjusted to provide for higher levels of
maintenance.
Fees would become effective Monday, February 16, 2004.
FINANCIAL IMPACT
Based on actual 2002 Daily Green Fee, Improvement Fee and Cart Fee revenue,
