CityCouncil | 2008-08-19 | 5 | the affirmative. (08-357) Resolution No. 14262, "Amending Master Fee Resolution No. 12191 by Changing Various Chuck Corica Golf Complex Rates. " Adopted. The Interim Golf Manager gave a brief presentation. Jane Sullwold, Golf Commission Chair, stated the Golf Commission has difficulty with imposing resident fee increases; residents have been getting an incredible break in the past. Councilmember deHaan inquired why the junior fee would remain at $1.00. Ms. Sullwold responded the Junior fee was not changed because of the basic formula used for the rate increases and the political sensitivity of the matter; stated the Northern California Golf Association (NCGA) reimburses the Golf Complex up to $8.00 for both resident and non-resident Junior golfers. Mayor Johnson inquired whether having annual passes makes sense. Ms. Sullwold responded annual passes generated approximately $42,820 last fiscal year. Mayor Johnson inquired whether annual pass rounds are tracked. Ms. Sullwold responded tracking is done on the number of people who play on passes; stated the average pass holder plays approximately ten rounds per month. Mayor Johnson inquired whether the annual pass fee would be raised. Ms. Sullwold responded in the affirmative; stated the Golf Commission feels that the annual pass ranking should be senior residents, residents, senior non-residents, and non-residents. Mayor Johnson inquired whether the nine-hole rate is new. Ms. Sullwold responded in the negative; stated the rate is for early morning and late evening play. Mayor Johnson stated that she is okay with trying out the fee increases; play impact should be watched carefully Golf Course revenue needs to pay for operating costs and funds should be put aside for long-term maintenance and infrastructure; inquired whether the proposed fees would cover the operating expenses if Regular Meeting Alameda City Council 5 August 19, 2008 | CityCouncil/2008-08-19.pdf |
