CityCouncil | 2008-01-02 | 10 | Vice Mayor Tam stated that she is hearing that a City managed alternative is worth pursuing to fruition; the Golf Commission has suggested renovating the back of the Clubhouse in lieu of building a new, clubhouse; making driving range improvements advertising ; looking at leasing five to six acres of the south course for revenues; and potentially leasing ten to twelve acres of the Mif Albright Course; it would be very helpful to get the NGF's help in coming up with hard numbers for said suggestions. The Recreation and Park Director stated staff could work with the NGF to attach a value to the options; a Master Plan would take approximately nine months by the time community outreach was done. Councilmember Matarrese stated nine months seems excessive; a lot of work has been done already a plan is essential even if the operation is leased out entirely; otherwise, a blank slate would be given to proposersi developing a Master Plan and attaching values to all ideas for reducing costs per round need to be done as quickly as possible; he would like to include a breakdown of labor costs and true costs of a lease operation; the RFP would address operating the Golf Course in the current configuration. The Recreation and Park Director stated the RFP would address operating the Golf Course and completing desired capital improvements. Mr. Getherall stated the City could solicit alternatives from potential operators. Councilmember Gilmore stated that she does not like the idea of having a potential operator tell the City want the City wants; a Master Plan should be provided to potential operators indicating what the City wants. Councilmember Gilmore moved approval of allocating money for staff to start on a Master Plan, requesting the NGF to help the Golf Commission explore options discussed and potentially starting the RFP process that would provide enough wiggle language so that bidders understand that the City would have a Master Plan upon which to build. Councilmember Matarrese stated that he seconds the first part of the motion regarding allocating money to put a Master Plan together and getting the value assignment for all suggested ideas for implementation the RFP process should be a separate motion. Councilmember Gilmore agreed to address the RFP later; stated Regular Meeting 10 Alameda City Council January 2, 2008 | CityCouncil/2008-01-02.pdf |
