RECOMMENDATION Approval of the Resolution. BACKGROUND In 2006, Resolution No. 10853 was approved by City Council establishing a Municipal Golf Courses Advisory Planning Committee for the purpose of establishing a 5-year plan for the two Pueblo Municipal Golf Courses that was to prioritize needs for course maintenance, equipment, and improvements and identify related recommended funding sources. The term of this Advisory Committee was for one year from November 1, 2006 and ending October 31, 2007. After the terms expired in 2007, the Golf Courses Advisory Planning Committee continued to meet on a monthly basis alternating between Elmwood and Walking Stick to conduct overviews of the two municipal golf courses. It is the desire of the Parks and Recreation Department to officially establish a Municipal Golf Course Enterprise Advisory Committee to serve in an advisory role by providing recommendations to the Parks and Recreation Department on issues related to planning, operation, and development of the Municipal Golf Course Enterprise (Elmwood and Walking Stick Golf Courses) including its programs, services, and facilities. All members of the Committee will be appointed and be subject to removal by the City Council. The Committee will have authority to elect its own officers and adopt its own bylaws. Meetings of the Municipal Golf Course Enterprise Advisory Committee will be open to the public, and adequate notice thereof will be given to its members. The Committee will be composed of five members and will serve staggered three-year terms. Two (2) members will represent Elmwood Golf Course, one (1) of which shall be an annual pass holder and one (1) shall represent the daily green fee golfer (both must reside within City limits); and two (2) members will represent Walking Stick Golf Course, one (1) of which shall be an annual pass holder and one (1) shall be representative of the daily green fee golfers (both must reside within City limits); and one (1) member shall reside within City limits. During th October 7 Work Session, City Council recommended that having a committee member with a marketing background would be beneficial to the Golf Course Enterprise. FINANCIAL IMPACT The members appointed to the Municipal Golf Course Enterprise Advisory Committee will serve without compensation.
