CityCouncil | 2011-07-12 | 2 | AGENDA ITEM (11-378) Discuss Harbor Bay Isle Associate's Proposal for Land Exchange and Funding for the Chuck Corica Golf Complex Course Improvements and New Sports Fields and Direct Staff to Negotiate with Harbor Bay and KemperSports Management. There was a discussion of Councilmember deHaan's request for Councilmembers to disclose any relevant campaign contributions and recuse themselves. The City Attorney stated that she would provide a memo to Council on the matter. The Assistant City Manager and City Manager gave a brief presentation. Tim Hoppen, Harbor Bay Isle Association, and Gary Linn, Knott & Linn, gave a brief overview of the proposal. In response to Mayor Gilmore's request to address the golfing community's concern that reconfiguration would result in less than 2 championship golf courses, Mr. Linn stated the length with the shorter par 70s offers great variety, several par 5s, and dramatically enhances the quality of the features. Councilmember Johnson stated play on the north course is heavier than the South Course for many reasons; inquired whether the proposed design changes would help equalize the play between the courses. Mr. Linn responded the South Course is not up to the quality standard of other Bay Area courses; stated conditions are a factor in use patterns; there is an opportunity to greatly enhance the quality [of the South Course]. Councilmember deHaan provided a copy of the current configuration; inquired about the current and proposed acreage of the South Course, to which Mr. Linn responded that he does not have the information, but could provide the information on the proposed acreage. In response to Councilmember deHaan's inquiry regarding the acreage of the Mif, Mr. Linn stated the new Mif would be 19 1/2 acres and the old Mif is about 14 1/2 acres. Councilmember deHaan inquired whether the new Mif would be moved to the back nine holes of the current South Course. Mr. Linn responded the new Mif would be in a portion of the front nine and part of the back nine; a little bit of both nines would be impacted. Councilmember deHaan stated Mr. Linn indicated the Mif would be opened up; inquired whether the new South Course would be opened up, to which Mr. Linn responded the new South Course would be shorter.
