COMMISSION COMMUNICATIONS Chair Sullwold reported that she sent an email to City Council member Frank Matarrese following the City Council meeting of November 6, 2008. She had addressed her remarks to Council on the staff recommendation that Kemper Sports take over all aspects of the golf complex management, including the golf maintenance department. It was apparent, however, that City Council had already made the decision to accept the ACEA Union proposal to spare the maintenance department from the interim management proposal. Chair Sullwold was disappointed that no effort was made by staff to determine what cost savings would result by the union proposal before accepting it. The salaries in the maintenance division are the largest expenditure for the golf complex and the question is whether the City of Alameda will save money without turning over maintenance to the interim manager. Councilmember Matarrese responded that he felt the ACEA proposal would help with potential future workforce reductions. He also stated the interim management period will allow the City of Alameda to reevaluate whether the Golf Complex can become a self-sustaining enterprise as it once was, and for the City of Alameda to find a way to reduce the General Fund take-backs of revenue from the Golf Complex so that capital improvement projects can be pursued. Secretary Delaney stated that he feels the response was very encouraging. 4. AGENDA ITEMS: Chuck Corica Golf Complex Page 1 11/19/08 Golf Commission Minutes | GolfCommission/2008-11-19.pdf |
