INTRODUCED: December 10, 2012 BY: Leroy Garcia COUNCIL PERSON Background Paper for Proposed RESOLUTION AGENDA ITEM # M-4 DATE: December 10, 2012 DEPARTMENT: PARKS AND RECREATION DEPARTMENT STEVEN MEIER, INTERIM DIRECTOR TITLE: A RESOLUTION ESTABLISHING FEES TO BE PAID FOR PLAY UPON ELMWOOD AND WALKING STICK MUNICIPAL GOLF COURSES AND RESCINDING ALL OTHER RESOLUTIONS RELATING TO SUCH FEES ISSUE: Should the City Council approve a Resolution increasing the nine hole trail fee at Walking Stick Golf Course by $1.00 per nine holes for 2013 and again in 2014 and increasing the nine hole trail fee at Elmwood Golf Course by $1.00 per nine holes for 2014? RECOMMENDATION: Approval of the Resolution. BACKGROUND: At the November 12, 2012 City Council Work Session, Ron Padilla from the Golf Course Advisory Committee; Randy Bregar, Elmwood Golf Pro; and Dave Lewis, Walking Stick Golf Pro made a presentation to City Council with the recommendation to increase the nine hole trail fee at both municipal golf courses within the next two years. The increased revenue will reduce the annual subsidy from Elmwood to Walking Stick. Currently fees are the same at both courses. The last increase of any golf fee was in 2008. Since then, the cost of doing business has increased approximately 30%. Elmwood Golf Course annually subsidizes Walking Stick Golf Course. The 2011 subsidy was $123,348. The four year average for utility expenses (water, natural gas, electricity) at Walking Stick is $264,560, while the four year utility average at Elmwood is $74,276. FINANCIAL IMPACT: The Trail Fee increase would take effect at Walking Stick Golf Course in 2013 only. In 2014, the increase would be again at Walking Stick and also at Elmwood Golf Course. The Trail Fee adjustments would generate an increase in revenue at Walking Stick Golf Course of approximately $45,000 in 2013 and approximately $125,000 in 2014 between Walking Stick and Elmwood Golf Courses.
