CityCouncil | 2012-07-24 | 7 | In response to Vice Mayor Bonta's inquiry about the prevailing wage effective date, the City Attorney stated the ordinance does not go into effect until August 2nd. Councilmember Johnson suggested adding language about school golf team activities; stated that she does not think the maintenance requirements are strong enough and did not see time requirements; inquired what are the initial requirements for bringing the Golf Course up to a certain standard. David Sams, Golf Consultant, responded the maintenance standards are vague; stated specific tasks and frequencies could be added. Councilmember Johnson inquired whether there are requirements to: 1) bring the Golf Course in general up to a certain condition in a certain amount of time, and 2) maintaining said condition; stated Greenway promoted lower use of herbicides, pesticides and pest control; however, the Lease requires use of herbicides and pesticides and pests control; there seems to be a conflict between what Greenway promotes and the Lease. Mr. Sams responded the maintenance standard would have to begin after construction is finished; stated keep the course up to championship quality before construction is fully completed would be difficult. Councilmember Johnson inquired whether the Lease describes: 1) the period of time when the overall Golf Course must be brought up to a certain level and 2) the requirement to maintain said level. The City Attorney responded Exhibits C and D may help with the explanation; stated Exhibit C Phase 1 repairs and rehabilitation outlines work to be done and states that work on the driving range and the Mif will be completed by July 2013; Exhibit D covers drainage and irrigation issues which is the rest of the Golf Course, including tees, greens and sand traps; timeframes are scattered throughout Exhibit D. Councilmember Johnson questioned whether the Lease indicates the Golf Course has to be brought up to a certain level and maintained at that level. The City Manager read part of Exhibit D and confirmed the Lease calls for a high quality facility and playing experience. Councilmember Johnson suggested separating major construction from general improvements since the timelines are two to three years; stated certain activities are enhanced maintenance rather than major construction and could be completed in sooner than three years. The City Attorney stated the milestones hold the operator responsible for completing the work, allows development of a plan, provides time for the public to comment on the plan, and lets the City complete the appropriate environmental review.
