GolfCommission | 2006-05-17 | 2 | attrition was reduced to 20% from 25%. The new projected revenue based on the rounds of golf last fiscal year and the 20% attrition is approximately $316,617. The final approval of the fee increases from the Golf Commission will take place once the Clubhouse Project financial packet is completed and brought to the Commission for approval. The suggestion was made to restrict the Resident Junior and Non-Resident Junior rates on the Earl Fry Course Monday-Friday to after 12:00 pm with the exception of the Alameda Junior Golf Club events. The Golf Commission agreed and the restriction will be included in the final proposal. 4. ORAL REPORTS 4-A Golf Shop and Driving Range activities report by Head Golf Professional Matt Plumlee. The Head Golf Professional reported that the Northern California Golf Association (NCGA) has started a new program for juniors named Youth on Course funded by the Tom Morton Foundation. The program allows juniors to join the NCGA for $2. The Chuck Corica Golf Complex is then subsidized up to $5 every time juniors that join through this program play golf at the Complex. The thought is that the Alameda Junior Golf Club could register their members though the program next year. The Head Golf Professional will look into the details. 4-B General Manager Dana Banke's report highlighting maintenance and operational activities for the month at the Golf Complex. The General Manager reported that the web site and email marketing are under way. Also reported, the General Manager and Superintendent are looking into repairing and restarting the golf course water wells. The Complex spends approximately $300,000 on water every year. Prior to 1990 the golf courses were irrigated with the well. In July 1990 the City of Alameda entered into a 21-year contract with the East Bay Municipal Utility District (EBMUD) to use reclaimed water. At the time of the contract Northern California had suffered severe drought years and EBMUD required contracts be signed in order to receive water from them. The contract currently has 5 years remaining. The contract requires the Golf Complex to use 350 acres of water per fiscal year although EBMUD has stated that they would be lenient regarding that requirement. Management has met with Dave Archer of Pump Repair Services to get an idea of what it would entail to get the wells up and running. The first step is to get the water tested to assure it is useable and then send a scope down the well to determine what repairs need to be made prior to using them. The high estimate for repairing a well is approximately $67,000. The wells at peak performance can produce 650 to 700 gallons per minute. Upon repair it is undetermined what percentage of well water will be used although a savings would be seen on the water expenditures. The General Page 2 of 5 | GolfCommission/2006-05-17.pdf |
