CityCouncil | 2010-01-06 | 7 | In response to Councilmember Tam's inquiry regarding the minimal maintenance cost in closed condition, Mr. Vest stated labor costs would go down; water costs would be approximately $1,500 to $2,000 per month. Councilmember Tam inquired what would be the minimum cost to maintain the property without a golf course; further inquired how the cost would compare against opening the Golf Course during the active session. Mr. Vest responded costs would be approximately $1,500 to $2,000 per month if the property were closed; stated reopening the golf course during busy months would have some start up costs. Councilmember Matarrese inquired whether Kemper management costs are strictly allocation costs, to which Mr. Vest responded in the affirmative. Councilmember Matarrese inquired whether water costs are billed amounts, to which Mr. Vest responded in the affirmative. Councilmember Matarrese inquired how having two styles of play on the south course has worked. Mr. Vest responded the situation was tough in the beginning; stated players were not educated; marshals had a hard time getting players in position. Vice Mayor deHaan stated increasing fees has been discussed; people would still have to walk the whole course. Mr. Vest stated some type of discounted cart fee would be given to those who could not walk the course; accommodating players who just want to play the shorter course on Saturday or Sunday mornings will be impossible sometimes. Mayor Johnson stated the plan is a proposed interim plan; inquired how long the selected plan would be in place. The Recreation and Park Director responded three to six months; stated Exhibit 4 takes into consideration loss in rounds. Vice Mayor deHaan inquired whether $7,500 could be lost. The Recreation and Park Director responded $15,000 could be lost; stated the profit would be $7,500. Councilmember Matarrese stated the $21,059 loss includes the $19,000 cost allocation for Kemper management and administration; the same people would be managing between February and July 2010; inquired whether the money is not really a loss because people would collect the same salary.
