CityCouncil | 2009-05-05 | 10 | Counci Ilmember Matarrese stated that Golf is in competition with other Golf Courses and is much different than AMP. Councilmember Gilmore stated the Golf Course has changed from a City run entity to having a contractor; Council needs to determine what should be done with the Golf Course long term before making a decision. The Interim City Manager stated discussions should be on a parallel track regarding a private operator versus a management contract; that she needs direction regarding an ordinance amendment to the ROI. Mayor Johnson inquired whether AMP is prepared to pay the 1% ROI retroactively. The Interim City Manager responded AMP put the full 1% ROI in the next budget and will discuss recovering the past amount due over twenty-four months. Mayor Johnson stated Golf is in a different situation; Council could forgive the ROI retroactively; the Interim City Manager should bring back information to Council regarding moving forward. The Interim City Manager stated the two enterprises should be considered separately. Mayor Johnson stated the Golf Course issue is different now knowing what to do retroactively seems clear. Councilmember Tam inquired whether Golf would be charged the ROI and Payment in Lieu of Taxes (PILOT) even if operated by a private company The Interim City Manager responded the issue would depend on how the deal is negotiated; stated the City would want to collect the PILOT because the asset would never be given away; the ROI would not be considered the same in a long-term contract the amount of the ROI would be worked out through negotiations. Councilmember Tam stated that she concurs with Mayor Johnson regarding retroactively forgiving Golf. The Interim City Manager stated approval would need to come from Council in order to get the paperwork together to move forward with a new budget.
