Golf cart rental fees were last adjusted in February 2004. FINANCIAL IMPACT The golf cart fees in Section 4.A. of the resolution would be increased as follows: A. The sum of money required to be paid in order to rent a City owned golf cart .to use while playing the City Municipal Golf Courses on any given day, otherwise referred to as the Daily Golf Cart Rental Fee, shall be as follows: Existing Fees 18 Holes any portion thereof: Two riders One rider Senior (60 yrs. & older )-Two Riders Weekdays only Senior (60 yrs. & older) -One Rider - Weekdays only 9 Holes or any portion thereof: Two riders One rider Senior (60 yrs. & older) -Two Riders - Weekdays only Senior (60 yrs. & older) -One Rider Weekdays only $ 20.00 $ 13.50 $ 12.00 $ 8.50 $ 10.50 $ 7.75 $ 10.00 $ 7.25 Proposed Fees $22.00 $14.50 $14.00 $ 9.50 $11.50 $ 8.25 $11.00 $ 7.75 Only golfers that rent carts would be affected by the fee increase.
