CityCouncil | 2008-02-05 | 8 | Foundation (NGF) has nationwide knowledge regarding trends that would be helpful. Mayor Johnson stated NGF has provided an operational analysis; master planning is requested now. Councilmember Gilmore stated that Council wants NGF to review Golf Commission recommendations; information is needed to decide the future of the Golf Course the community needs to decide what the Golf Course should look like. Councilmember deHaan inquired whether the Request for Proposal (RFP) amount is included [in the $80,000], to which the Recreation and Park Director responded in the negative. Councilmember deHaan concurred with Councilmember Gilmore; stated many things will be brought to the table; $80,000 is expensive for a follow up Contract; inquired whether $80,000 was the amount of the bid. The City Manager responded in the affirmative; stated said amount includes an analysis of Golf Commission recommendations, such as reconfiguration. Councilmember Matarrese stated the cost could be more than $80,000 if staff did the work; $80,000 is a very small price to pay for a multi-million dollar operation; NFG would build on the suggestions and assessment of what is wrong with the current operation; the issue is too important to penny pinch. Mayor Johnson concurred with Councilmember Matarrese; stated that she agrees with the Ms. Sullwold regarding the $80,000 figure; but does not think that there is a choice given the nature of future decisions. Councilmember Matarrese moved approval of the staff recommendation. Councilmember deHaan seconded the motion, which carried by unanimous voice vote - 5.
