CityCouncil | 2011-07-12 | 7 | Mr. Blake responded that he does not have said numbers; Kemper did not look into said project. Councilmember deHaan inquired whether new tees, new fairways and 6 new greens would be done for $1 million, to which Mr. Blake responded in the affirmative and stated two different groups came up with the same number. In response to Councilmember deHaan's inquiry about how long it would take to get the South Course functioning, Mr. Blake responded the plan is to always have 27 holes open at all times; Kemper believes it can get each of the 9 holes done in a 12 month period; the driving range and Mif will be done at the same time because having the whole area under construction at the same time is more efficient. Councilmember deHaan inquired whether 2016 is when the South Course would be done, to which Mr. Blake responded there has been a request that the project not start until after the commuters [tournament]; although each will take 12 months, there is overlap in future years. Councilmember deHaan inquired whether the Mif and South Course would not be complete until 2016. Mr. Blake responded in the negative; stated completing contracts would take one year; the new Mif as well as the reconfiguration of nine holes of the South Course would be finished going into 2014; the plan would be to start construction right after the commuters [tournament] in 2013 and open a new Mif and nine on the South Course in April 2014. Councilmember deHaan inquired whether Kemper has estimated the revenue loss that would occur from the closures. Mr. Blake responded the projections have been completed and can be shared; there will also be a reduction in expense because holes will be out of play; Kemper believes the 27-hole option will be manageable from a profit standpoint. The City Manager stated said issues would be dealt with in the negotiations. Councilmember Tam stated Kemper will put $500,000 into the facility over the 9 year period on top of the $3.5 million from Harbor Bay; Kemper will recapture costs over time; inquired whether less of the Harbor Bay contribution could be used up front. Mr. Blake stated his understanding is the amount of money going in up front is to get the major improvements done quickly. The City Manager stated the concept is the City would be paid $5 million for the land swap once entitlements are in place; staff thought the money should be used to pay for the new Mif and other really pressing issues at the golf course, leaving $1.5 million; Special Meeting Alameda City Council 7 July 12, 2011 | CityCouncil/2011-07-12.pdf |
