GolfCommission | 2010-06-16 | 2 | 4 AGENDA ITEMS 4-A Status Report on Long Term Lease and Mif Albright Negotiations including Golf Commission recommendations In response to a question from Chair Sullwold, John Vest advised that Kemper had submitted its proposals to the City for operation of the Golf Complex in early June. Chair Sullwold presented a draft letter to City Council with Golf Commission recommendations regarding the long term lease. Several suggestions were made for additions and changes to the draft. Vice Chair Schmitz moved and Commissioner Gaul seconded that Chair Sullwold be authorized to finalize the letter with the changes that were discussed and send it to City Council. The motion passed unanimously. 4-B Update on Golf Complex Finances After Bob Sullwold stated that the Commission had not received the City's financial information, John Vest advised that they had been received late and were put on the table before the meeting. The problem was that the reports showed a negative number under the expense category for services, which required investigation. The Finance Department eventually determined that the City had funded Kemper twice in one month instead of over two months as should have been done. Bob Sullwold took a quick look at the reports and advised that the cash balance of the Golf Enterprise Fund, which had been reported as slightly below $500,000 at the end of April, was now, as a result of this accounting entry, over $1 million at the end of May. He advised that the Golf Commission will probably never know the actual amount available in that account because of the peculiar mix of cash and accrual accounting methods used by the City's Finance Department, and because the Finance Department apparently does not book expenses when they are received. Regarding the rounds analysis, Mr. Sullwold stated that 1,500 more rounds were played on the Jack Clark course in May than in April, and 700 more than were played last May. John Vest stated that the greens on the Fry course were aerified in May, decreasing play on that course, and specials had been run on the Clark course during certain times, which further increased play there. On all three courses rounds were up compared to the previous month. The Clark course rounds were up compared to last year, the Fry course rounds were down and the Mif was not open all of May last year, so there is no comparison. Year to date, on the Fry course, rounds are down by 15.5%, revenue is down by 12.75%; on the Clark course, rounds are down 8.74% and revenue is down by 4.8%. 5 ORAL REPORTS 5-A Golf Shop and Driving Range activities report by John Vest - 2 - Golf Commission Minutes - Wednesday, June 16, 2010 | GolfCommission/2010-06-16.pdf |
