How long should it take? "Planning and design is mostly done within one year; the construction work typically takes 2-2.5 years, depending on the topography of the site, the quality of soil, the availability of water, the climatic conditions and of course the expected quality, complexity or playing difficulty of the designed golf course." 17% of courses in the study took 2-3 years for construction phase.

Chair Sullwold asked Matt Wisely to convey to management to make sure employees are having juniors sign the NCGA form for proper reimbursement. 4-C Update on Golf Complex Finances Chair Sullwold stated that the financial report had not been received from the City. Bob Sullwold stated that the Fry and Clark courses were down in rounds and revenue. For the first six months of the fiscal rounds are down about 11%, revenue is down roughly $60,000 or 4.5%. The financial performance is worse this year than last year. 4-D Consideration of Memorial Bench Program for the Golf Complex Matt Wisely and John Vest have researched concrete benches, and according to Dale Lillard, the benches that are used at the parks run about $500 or $600. That is the price just for the bench, not for the plaque. Chair Sullwold asked if they could get some pictures of the iron wood benches. 5 ORAL REPORTS 5-A Golf Shop and Driving Range activities report by John Vest None 5-B Golf Complex Maintenance activities report by Matt Wisely Matt Wisely stated that we received over 5 inches of rain since Saturday. Four trees were lost, two gigantic eucalyptus trees on number one North alongside the pond on the right hand side, one behind number one green on the Mif, and one leaning on the driving range on the Mif. He is trying to get on ETA on the second pump that was removed back in September. There is widespread flooding on the course and they are trying to get the course back open for the weekend. There is a 50% chance of rain tomorrow. All the sloughs are backed up and the water is above the rocks on number five on the North in the fairway. The two trees that fell on number one North is because the slough between eighteen and one is now passed the cart path. There may be no carts allowed this weekend. They are constantly moving water and cleaning debris. The bridge between 15 North and the maintenance yard is under water. The course was closed today due to possible winds resulting in risks of trees falling. As of January 1… | GolfCommission/2010-01-21.pdf |

GolfCommission/2007-04-04.pdf,2 | GolfCommission | 2007-04-04 | 2 | 2-B Approval of the Chuck Corica Golf Complex Policy Changes. (Action Item) The Golf Commission reviewed the following policy changes: 1. 30/21 day advance reservations (res/non). 2. 9-hole rate on weekdays at anytime on the Jack Clark Course. 3. Service club members charged according to residency when playing in club events. Policy number one would allow City of Alameda Preferential Starting Time holders to call and make reservations 30 days in advance and all other customers the ability to call 21 days in advance. The benefits of extending the time is that customers can call to reserve a tee time further in advance and make plans accordingly. The question was raised regarding how many times the system allows a customer to book during the 30/21 time frame. The Golf Services Manager stated that the current computer system is unable to restrict the number of tee times a customer can book, although the Preferential Starting Time policy states that a member can book one weekday and one weekend time or two weekday times a week. Secretary Sullwold made the motion to accept the policy changing the advance reservation period to 30 days for Preferential Starting Time holders and 21 days for all other customers. Commissioner Gammell seconded the motion. The Golf Commission passed the motion unanimously. The new policy will be effective May 1, 2007. Policy number two would allow customers to pay for and play 9-holes of golf at anytime Monday through Friday on the Jack Clark Golf Course. The Golf Services Manager stated that the problem with allowing the 9-hole rate all day as opposed to the first 2 hours of the day which is the current policy is that there is no way to monitor the golfers to ensure that they do only play 9-holes and not 18. Commissioner Gammell made the motion to not change the 9-hole rate policy and continue to allow only play the first 2 hours of the day. Secretary Sullwold seconded the motion. The Golf Commission passed the motion unanimously. The third policy for review would be to have the service clu… | GolfCommission/2007-04-04.pdf |
GolfCommission/2010-07-21.pdf,2 | GolfCommission | 2010-07-21 | 2 | 2. A 36-hole renovation with the Mif closed. 3. A 27-hole renovation (3 nines) with the Mif being operated by a non-profit. 4. A 27-hole renovation (3 nines) with the Mif closed. 5. A 27-hole renovation (3 nines) plus a new nine hole short course with the Mif closed. Per John Vest, Kemper has submitted responses to three of the scenarios, but has not yet completed the remaining two. These scenarios were puzzling because they seem inconsistent with the direction given by the City Council at their meeting of March 16, 2010. Chair Sullwold read aloud a portion of the minutes from that meeting: "Councilmember Matarrese moved approval of negotiating with both parties with the understanding that components are needed for a par 3, driving range, and two 18-hole championship courses; stated the starting point would be two 18-hole courses and looking for financial feasibility; direction is to come back with a business term sheet based on the starting point, incorporating the non-profit aspect for operating the par 3 and working backwards from there." The motion was passed 4-0, with Councilmember Tam abstaining. At this point, two gentlemen entered the meeting. Chair Sullwold informed them what the Commission was discussing at that point. Joshua Sherman asked what the status was of the Mif Albright course. Joe Van Winkle gave a synopsis regarding what had transpired since the inception of the proposal for a non-profit to operate the course. Mr. Sherman then asked when the deadline was for responding to the RFP and Chair Sullwold responded that it had been in the fall of 2009. 4 AGENDA ITEMS 4-A Status Report on Long Term Lease and Mif Albright Negotiations including Golf Commission recommendations See Commission Communications 4-B Update on Golf Complex Finances Bob Sullwold stated that total rounds were up in June from May, but the rounds on the Fry course were down 500 rounds from the previous year.

GolfCommission/2006-09-20.pdf,2 | GolfCommission | 2006-09-20 | 2 | 2006 there are 143 Miracle League Organizations across the country. The field is constructed of a cushioned rubberized material and is flat throughout, the dugouts are wheelchair accessible and there is an accessible restroom. Currently there are 41 completed rubberized fields and 61 fields under construction. The league is looking for land in Alameda to construct a field and was interested in the land on the Golf Complex near the cross-airport roadway behind #5 green and #6 tee on the Jack Clark Course. The Miracle League requested that the Golf Commission consider endorsing the league as the first step towards approval. The Golf Commission made a motion to endorse the Miracle League as an organization unanimously. The Golf Commission directed the General Manager to research the process necessary for assisting the Miracle League. 3-C Discussion on Change in Venue and Time for the Golf Commission Regular Meetings. (Action Item) The General Manager stated that the suggestion was made at a previous meeting to change the time and venue for the monthly regular Golf Commission meeting. The suggestion was to have the meeting in the restaurant, Jim's on the Course, or in the Ladies Lounge at the Golf Complex. The meetings would continue to be on the third Wednesday of the month although would start at 5:30 p.m. It was stated that having the meetings at City Hall makes it a more formal atmosphere. The Golf Commission approved changing the venue and time of the regular meetings to the Ladies Lounge at 5:30 p.m. for a trial period until the end of the year. After the trial period the item will be placed on the agenda for final approval. 3-D Approval of Agenda and Golf Commission Recommendation for the Special Joint meeting with the Alameda City Council. (Action Item) The General Manager passed out a draft agenda for the joint meeting for the Golf Commissioners review. The General Manager would like to have each Golf Commissioner give a report. The Golf Commission decided to postpone approval of the agenda and recommendatio… | GolfCommission/2006-09-20.pdf |
GolfCommission/2005-11-16.pdf,2 | GolfCommission | 2005-11-16 | 2 | 23 groups in the first wave and 21 in the second wave. There were holes in the tee times, which made it difficult to keep the pace of play going although many groups finished in less than four hours. Most groups were happy with the pace of play but a few felt rushed. Also noted there were no rounds after 3:00 pm. To monitor the groups and the pace of play more coordination is necessary and six Marshals are needed on the course. In summary there was no increase in the number of rounds, which in turn means no increase in revenue. The program is also very labor intensive for the Pro Shop and the Marshals. The General Manager stated that it is probably better to try the split tees in the spring. The suggestion was made to have the split tees on the Earl Fry Course due to the demand for the peak times on that course. The General Manager spoke with customers about the program and it was suggested to alternate between the two courses. The important marketing point is the four-hour round of golf. Customers not interested in playing that fast can play on the other course with straight tee times. 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 new flags have been placed on the practice greens in the clubhouse area and the new practice green is open at the Driving Range. The Head Golf Professional also mentioned that two new employees have been hired in the Pro Shop. They are Julio Leon and Timothy Harris, both of whom have prior golf course experience. 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 maintenance crew is currently improving the drainage on the #5, #6, #8, #10 and #14 of the Earl Fry Course. Also the green on #8 of the Mif Albright Course is being redone as well as the green on #4 and the new tees on #1 and #4. The work should be completed by spring.

GolfCommission/2005-10-19.pdf,2 | GolfCommission | 2005-10-19 | 2 | 3-B Discussion on Split Tees on Weekends and Holidays. The General Manager reported that with the winter months and shorter days approaching, using the split tees on Saturday, Sunday, and holidays would allow more golfers to get out on the golf course at the premium times. Currently, the course can get 32 players out in one hour. The split tees would double that amount and allow for 128 players in a two-hour period. The tee times would run for the first two hours of the day and then the course would be closed for approximately 2 hours prior to the next wave of tee times. The General Manager stated that the split tee times would be done on a trial basis to see if it improves attendance. The hope is that the players will have golf rounds of 4 1/2 hours. Prior to the trial period, a meeting with the Marshal staff will be held to inform them of the program and what to tell the customers. A marshal will be stationed at the first and tenth tee to ensure the pace of play. Fivesomes will still be allowed to play. The proposed trial will be on November 5, 2005 and possibly the weekend after that. The General Manager will report on the program at the next Golf Commission meeting. 4. ORAL REPORTS 4-A Golf Shop and Driving Range activities report by Head Golf Professional Matt Plumlee. The Head Golf Professional passed out a report that was requested by Commissioner Gaul detailing the amount of merchandise inventory purchased and the amount sold for last quarter between July 1 and September 30, 2005. Also mentioned was that the Jack Clark Pro-Am will be held at the Complex on October 24, 2005. The event benefits the Alameda Junior Golf Club and currently 27 teams have registered. The Merchandise Manager, Corinna Zanetti has accepted a full-time position with Golf Mart and her last day was today.

Chair Swanson stated that that due to the increase in Golf Commissioner's the decision was made to reassign the reporting duties for the monthly meetings. Chair Swanson read the suggestions for the new Golf Commission assignments: Secretary Betsy Gammel-Marketing and Promotions Commissioner Ray Gaul-Financial Report Vice Chair Tony Santare-Men's and Senior Club Liaison Commissioner Bill Schmitz-Golf Clubhouse Project Commissioner Jane Sullwold-Maintenance, Buildings, Security, Albright Course and Driving Range Chair Sandré Swanson-Council and Government Liaison Commissioner Bob Wood-Front Entrance Beautification Project The Commission approved the new assignments unanimously. 4. ORAL REPORTS 4-A Golf Shop and Driving Range activities report by Head Golf Professional Matt Plumlee. The Head Golf Professional stated that the busy golf season has arrived and many golf tournaments are scheduled. The East Bay Conversion and Reinvestment Commission (EBCRC) Golf Tournament is scheduled for this Friday and the East Bay Junior Golf Tournament will be held next Monday and Tuesday. The Alameda Chamber of Commerce held their tournament in May and it was a big success. Also upcoming is the Women's Golf Club Invitational Golf Tournament on July 28, 2005. The twilight leagues have been canceled due to a lack of interest. The leagues will be revisited next year. The maintenance crew is sweeping the Driving Range regularly to keep the debris down. 4-B General Manager Dana Banke's report highlighting maintenance and operational activities for the month at the Golf Complex. The General Manager referred to questions brought at last month's meeting. The tee sign on #14 of the Earl Fry Course has been put in place, although the sign is in the middle of the tee area and hard for the ladies to see. The suggestion was made to plant more ice plant along the edges of the lakes and sloughs. The General Manager reported that the sloughs and lakes fall under the Urban Runoff Capital… | GolfCommission/2005-06-15.pdf |
GolfCommission/2005-08-17.pdf,2 | GolfCommission | 2005-08-17 | 2 | 3. Proper golf attire required. No tank tops or cut-off shorts. 4. Golf or tennis shoes only. 5. No fivesomes allowed. 6. No spectators under 12 years old allowed. 7. Please play "ready" golf. The following are revisions for consideration: 1.

The discussion ensued and the following additions were made: All players and spectators must check-in at the Pro Shop 15 minutes before starting play to guarantee your tee time. Please use cell phone etiquette. Please obey course marshals at all times. Disorderly conduct will result in ejection. 90° cart rule in effect at all times. Play at own risk. The suggestion was made to have one policy board in a central location at the Complex although the concern is not to have a large obtrusive board. The General Manager mentioned the possibility of placing clocks on the courses to help with the pace of play. Another suggestion was to have the tee marshal go over the basic rules with groups before they tee off. The suggestions will be added to the policies and the decision will be made at the next meeting. 3-B Approval of the Management Practice for the Practice Area. (Action Item) The General Manager reported that the new short game practice area is up and running. The purpose of this management practice is to establish and clarify procedures regarding the Golf Complex Short Game practice area.

GolfCommission/2009-03-18.pdf,2 | GolfCommission | 2009-03-18 | 2 | 4 AGENDA ITEMS 4-A Discussion of Potential Uses for Mif Albright Course John Vest stated that it would cost roughly $3,000 to $4,000 for new amenities, including new cups, holes and mats for the tee boxes. The greens have fungus and he does not feel it would be worth trying to bring them back. At least six out of the nine greens need to be rebuilt at a cost of approximately $6,000 per green. Aerifying, topdressing and daisy eradication would cost about $3,000, and fertilizing would cost about $4,000. The biggest expense would be tree work on the right side of the range, costing about $20,000. Fixing the irrigation problems would cost between $8,000 and $12,000. Also, Mr. Vest believes that the barrier fence on the right side of the range should be raised about 20 feet for safety, and that could cost $10,000 to $20,000. He would like to replace the plastic mats with real grass tees, but doesn't yet have a figure for that, nor does Kemper yet have a figure for annual maintenance costs. Based on information he received from EBMUD, there is no possiblity that reclaimed water could be used for irrigation. Chair Sullwold advised that Mif Albright revenue for the fiscal year 2007/2008 was $121,549; $131,481 for 2006/2007; and $130,117 for 2005/2006. She also advised John Vest to be prepared to address a question from Mayor Beverly regarding turning the golf complex into a 27-hole facility, allowing a par 3 course to be created from the other 9 holes. The Golf Commission decided that Kemper's estimates were too preliminary and incomplete to enable the Commission to make any final recommendations, so the Commission decided to hold a special meeting on April 2, 2009 at 6:30 p.m., to allow it to respond to Kemper's final report. 4-B Update on Effect of Rate Increases Chair Sullwold stated that total rounds on both the Fry and Clark courses for the month of February declined by 22%, but revenue declined by only 11% as a result of the rate increases. 5 ORAL REPORTS 5-A Golf Shop and Driving Range activities report John Vest s… | GolfCommission/2009-03-18.pdf |
GolfCommission/2009-07-15.pdf,2 | GolfCommission | 2009-07-15 | 2 | 4 AGENDA ITEMS 4-A Golf Complex Financial Report through June 2009 Bob Sullwold stated that rounds and revenue decreased in June 2009 compared to the same period last year. During the first seven months of fiscal year 2008/2009, play on both courses was up 8.8%. Play on both courses was down for the last five months. Total rounds decreased by 3% over the same period last year, although revenue for both courses was up by 3.29%. The financial statement received from the City showed income from Golf last year in the amount of $500,000, whereas last year's number was a wash. The Enterprise Fund was drawn down by $400,000, as opposed to the $700,000 that was anticipated. From an income standpoint, the fee increase had a positive effect on the bottomline. Nine-hole rounds increased from September to June for both courses. 18-hole rounds decreased on both courses, more on the Clark than the Fry. Tournament rounds were up especially for Tournament Senior Weekdays. Monthly passes sold were down, but revenue was up. 4-B Discussion/recommendation re long-term management of Golf Complex Commissioner Sullwold stated that Ann Marie Gallant would be consulting with NGF in the preparation of the RFP. She also described the points she intended to make at the closed session on July 21. 4-C Review of Request to slightly expand the area of the current Cell Tower Lease John Vest stated that the area of the current cell tower was to be slightly expanded to allow for the addition of a generator. A representative from the company that would be installing the generator was present, and confirmed that it would not be expanding into an area that would disrupt play on the Mif Albright course. The Golf Commission concurred with John that this expansion was reasonable. 5 ORAL REPORTS 5-A Golf Shop and Driving Range activities report by John Vest General Manager John Vest announced a major demo day coming up on July 18, and indicated that the event is being promoted with email blasts and cart signs. He stated that recently a lot of carts have … | GolfCommission/2009-07-15.pdf |
GolfCommission/2009-11-18.pdf,2 | GolfCommission | 2009-11-18 | 2 | 4 AGENDA ITEMS 4-A Golf Complex Financial Report through October 2009 Bob Sullwold stated that the revenue for the Mif Albright is $65,320 through the end of October. The estimate for expenses at the time the course reopened was $50,000 for six months, an estimate that John Vest still thinks is pretty accurate, so it appears that revenues will exceed expenses. The bad news, however, is that both rounds and revenues on all three courses declined in October 2009, both compared to the previous month and compared to the same months in 2008. For the first four months of FY 2009/10, rounds are on the Fry course were down 8.66%, Clark rounds were down 11.92%, and Mif rounds were down 21.04%, with an overall decline of 11.89%. Revenue for the period was also down, but not as much: 6% on the Fry course, 1.24% on the Clark and 3.58% on the Mif, for an overall total of 4.04%. Mr. Sullwold also stated that the Commission has yet to see the final figures from the City for FY 2008/09. 4-B Discussion re status of Request for Proposals for long-term lease of Golf Complex; appointment of Golf Commissioners to evaluation committee(s) Chair Sullwold noted that Bob Sullwold's email to Ann Marie Gallant suggested that the RFP schedule was too compressed. Ms. Gallant responded that the schedule is in the City's control and if is too tight, it can be amended. The responses are due tomorrow, November 19, 2009. The Golf Commission appointed Jane Sullwold and Bill Schmitz to represent the Golf Commission in the selection process, with Ray Gaul to serve as back-up. 4-C Consideration of a Memorial Bench program for the Golf Complex John Vest stated that benches run from $400 to $600 apiece. Norma Arnerich stated that she would like the benches to be uniform on the golf course. John will do some more investigation and make a further report at next month's Golf Commission meeting. 4-D Election of Officers for 2010 Commissioner Gammell suggested that the Commission retain Jane Sullwold as the Chairperson. A motion was made, seconded and unanim… | GolfCommission/2009-11-18.pdf |
GolfCommission/2010-08-18.pdf,2 | GolfCommission | 2010-08-18 | 2 | 4 AGENDA ITEMS 4-A Status Report on Long Term Lease and Mif Albright Negotiations including Golf Commission recommendations Chair Sullwold said she had been advised that face-to-face negotiations between the City and KemperSports will finally commence at the end of August, five and one-half months after City Council gave direction to do so. 4-B Update on Golf Complex Finances Chair Sullwold stated that rounds and revenues on all three courses increased in July compared to June. Compared to July 2009, Fry rounds were lower but revenues were similar; Clark rounds were similar, but revenue was lower; and on the Mif Albright course, both rounds and revenues were lower. The City's financial reports that were supplied to the Golf Commission in July showed that the Enterprise fund balance as of June 30, 2010, was $937,961.26. The reports produced this month, however, showed that, as of July 1, 2010, the fund balance was $813,878.38, a difference of nearly $125,000 in one day. This is one of the anamolies that the Golf Commission hopes will be explained by Ms. Gallant at the September meeting. Chair Sullwold pointed out some other issues, including the fact that the budget for the past fiscal year that ended June 30, 2009, is completely different in the two sets of financial reports provided to the Golf Commission in July and August. 4-C Presentation on 2010/2011 Budget Joe Van Winkle stated that the 2010/2011 budget was listed on the City Council agenda for July 27, 2010, under the City Manager's Report. It is not clear whether Council approved the budget because the minutes of that meeting are not yet available. The budget was that was presented to the City Council is different from the one that is included in the City's financial reports to the Golf Commission for this meeting. Chair Sullwold stated that both budgets appear to reflect an increase in revenue on both the Fry and Clark courses, but they project a substantial decrease in revenue on the Mif with no explanation. Both budgets also show an increase in service… | GolfCommission/2010-08-18.pdf |
GolfCommission/2010-06-16.pdf,2 | 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, a… | GolfCommission/2010-06-16.pdf |

Over the next couple of months, bird nesting boxes will be added to the course, which is a a requirement to get the course certified by the Audobon Society. 4-B Golf Shop and Driving Range activities report by John Vest May revenue was up as compared to May of 2011. Range revenue is continuing to increase. They have been rotating out old range balls with new ones and selling off the old balls. Green fee and cart revenue is also up over prior year, and merchandise is up 14% over prior year. Rounds for May were 11,650 compared to 10,459 for May 2011. Current promotions include $35.00 with cart after 12:00 p.m., $25.00 after 3:00 p.m. and $15.00 after 5:00 p.m. on weekdays. They plan to also run a U.S. Open special. Lesson revenue is up 26% from prior year. In May, Mike Winkenbach booked $50,000 future tournament revenue. Tournaments in the calendar year to date have generated 600 more rounds and $25,000 more in revenue than the same period last year. 4C Beautification Program and Junior Golf Club by Mrs. Norma Arnerich Norma Arnerich stated the first summer junior tournament will be tomorrow. There will be one more memorial bench donated to the course. 4-D Golf Complex Restaurant Report, Jim's on the Course None 5 AGENDA ITEMS 5-A Status Report on long term lease negotiations, including Golf Commission recommendations, if any. Chair Sullwold spoke with George Kelley of Greenway Golf earlier in the day, who advised that negotiations with the City are moving slowly. He said that he still expects an agreement will be reached, but it will probably be slightly after the 45-day period that City Manager John Russo projected. 5-B Update on Golf Complex Finances Bob Sullwold analyzed the City's financial statements for fiscal year 2011-2012 through April. Rounds and revenues for April 2012 were similar to the prior year. 2 Golf Commission Minutes - Tuesday, June 12, 2012 | GolfCommission/2012-06-12.pdf |

Marc Logan stated that they are looking to install some planters but are still determining what types of plants. She mentioned that the Junior Golf Club had a successful year and their last Wednesday tournament will be held tomorrow. She also stated that there were no complaints regarding the layout of the north course, regarding having to replay holes. The East Bay Junior Golf Tournament was held which included 131 players from around the area. Their Club championship was held in August on the south course. Scholarships will be given out in September. The Jack Clark will be held on Wednesday, September 18 on the south course. She thanked Greenway Golf and the shop for all their assistance for the season and also thanked Jim's for their Friday lunches. 4-B Golf Complex Restaurant Report, Jim's on the Course See 7-B 5 AGENDA ITEMS 5-A Review and Comment on Event Center Landscape Plan and Furnishings/Fixtures Amy Wooldridge stated that Tom was given 60 days from the signing of the second amendment to provide the Event Center Landscape Plan and Furnishings/Fixtures which he complied to.

Commissioner Carlson made a motion to approve the plans and was seconded by Commissioner Saxton, and the motion passed unanimously. 5-B Update on South Course Cart Path Completion Marc Logan stated that the cart path work was originally going to start today, but the subcontractor had another job, and is looking to reschedule, but since the course is booked two weeks out, there is a challenge in coordinating the job. As soon as there is a confirmed date, he will update accordingly. 5-C Update on Clubhouse Exterior and Restrooms Marc Logan stated that he unable to give them a timeline for the clubhouse exterior and restrooms project, due to several factors, one being finances and also the time involved, and they still have to get the final review … | GolfCommission/2019-08-13.pdf |
GolfCommission/2008-11-19.pdf,2 | GolfCommission | 2008-11-19 | 2 | 4-A Discussion on City Council Action for Golf Course Management. Chair Sullwold reported that the City Council, at its November 6, 2008 meeting, approved the proposal from Kemper Sports Management to manage the Golf Complex Operations for an interim period of one year. The City of Alameda will save approximately $32,000 by having the Complex managed. The City of Alameda has offered golden handshake retirement packages to eligible employees. Alan Elnick, the union business agent, advised Council that as many as six employees will accept the retirement packages. The ACEA union employees that retire will be replaced with non-union employees hired by Kemper Sports. Chair Sullwold noted a maximum of about $170,000 could be saved by the City of Alameda should all six of the employees accept the offer immediately, but that is unlikely. The one positive note is that Kemper Sports is very experienced in managing golf courses. Ron Salsig encouraged the Golf Commission to voice their support for the retention of the teaching professionals at the Complex under the existing compensation scheme. The Mif Albright Course will be closed permanently on November 30, 2008. Mrs. Arnerich stated that all of the trees on the Mif Albright Course were donated and dedicated to the memory of loved ones. 4-B Update on the Rate Increases. Secretary Delaney stated that he has noticed an increase in play on the Earl Fry Golf Course and a decrease on the Jack Clark Golf Course that could be due to the rate increase. Mike Robason suggested a more likely explanation is the relatively poor condition of the Clark course recently. Sales of monthly passes are down considerably over last year. Mike reported that many local golf courses are offering specials this time of year to attract play, and this may be luring our monthly customers away. The Golf Commission asked Mike to put together more special packages for the Chuck Corica Golf Complex to increase play and stay competitive. Chair Sullwold reported that for the first four months of fiscal year … | GolfCommission/2008-11-19.pdf |

Commissioner Carlson asked Mrs. Arnerich what their plans are if both putting greens are closed, how this would affect their tournaments, and she stated that they don't have a plan as yet, but will work it out. Mr. Campbell stated that the rebuilding of these putting greens will be sometime this fall. Mrs. Arnerich that two of their junior golfers are now members of the LPGA and another is a member of the Symetra tour. 4-C Golf Complex Restaurant Report, Jim's on the Course Tom Geanekos stated that he been in contact with Greenway and they are discussing future plans, and also that they have already started working on the kitchen facilities, and mirrors in the bathrooms have been replaced. 5.

GolfCommission/2010-01-21.pdf,5 | GolfCommission | 2010-01-21 | 5 | 4-B Discussion of Proposal to operate Mif Albright Course through a non- profit corporation Joe VanWinkle has put together an organization plan including establishing teams in the areas of legal risk, ground finance accounting, golf expertise, fundraising and corporate sponsorship, and programming which involves kids, golfers and non- golfers which all represent opportunity. An action plan has been put together and has started dealing with the people who are doing these different streams of work. He briefed Norma Arnerich for Alameda Junior Board and that will be calendared when they are ready. An alignment of a calendar of events has been made through next summer. A business plan has been drafted which includes segmentation, targeting and benchmarking various ideas that other Par 3 courses are doing across the country. In 1985 the City of Baltimore decided to form a non-profit corporation which included five major golf courses. San Antonio also did this a few years ago which included seven major golf courses. Buttonhole in New Jersey has been operating since 2001 with good sponsorship programs. It is only open half of the year and all the funding works. Competitive analysis has been done in the local market, and he has looked at the operations issues in terms of office and turf management, golf course maintenance and landscaping, and water issues. He has received verbal approval for a grant from a local entrepreneur in Alameda and also has a list of other grants and other fundraising ideas. Joe believes they might not have to hire any full time employees, it can be done with contracted services. Regarding the financials, the course is basically at a breakeven point without the overhead allocation. The breakeven amount for the month is $5,000 with last month only bringing in $4,000. 122 rounds were $1.00 each, but if they are an NCGA member, we receive $7.00 from the NCGA. If 50% percent of the Seniors Club, Men's Club and Ladies Club play this course once a month (300 players) that equates $32,000 annually. He a… | GolfCommission/2010-01-21.pdf |

There has been vandalism on the golf course the last month, including damage to the AED unit, and carts being found out on the course when they were put away in the cart barn the night before. Mike Winkenbach is working on ways to increase midday play between 11:00 AM and 1:00 PM as that seems to be our most quiet time. Tee times can be booked on our website for any time, whereas Golf Now only books in those down hours. Mike is also reaching to several groups for midweek tournament play. John has been working with Jim's for a lunch/golf special. The left ball dispenser at the range has been damaged and has been replaced. The course is participating in the PGA Golf Ready program, which offers five lessons for $99.00 either as a group or individually. The Complex will again celebrate Patriots Day on September 4th through the 7th, and will accept cash donations for military personnel. The cart batteries continue to be a serious problem, with 20 carts currently out of service. EZ-GO will be coming out shortly to test them. John and Matt Wisely have been looking into various options to control the goose problem at the Complex. They have heard that some courses keep a dog on property at all times. Connie Wendling noted that the Fire Tower has a lot of graffiti right now, and said she thought there was a City ordinance requiring such graffiti to be removed within 24 or 48 hours. John indicated he would investigate whether Fire Tower graffiti clean up is the responsibility of the Golf Complex or the Fire Department. 5-B Golf Complex Maintenance activities report by Matt Wisely In Matt's absence, John announced that the backflow devices on the Clark Course that had illegal … | GolfCommission/2009-08-26.pdf |

According to the City finance department report, the expense item for Kemper services and supplies in March was double the monthly average. Kemper's own report does not show a similar phenomenon, and John Vest stated there were no extraordinary expenses in March that would explain the City's number. For the nine months ended March 31, 2012, total rounds were up 22.7% compared to the prior fiscal year, led by a 29.03% increase in Fry rounds. For the same period, revenue from greens fees was up 12.94%. The explanation for the discrepancy between round and revenue growth is that revenue per round declined by 7.95%. Overall, for the nine months ended March 31, 2012, net operating income was $751,156. Payments to the City totaled $562,834, and debt serv… | GolfCommission/2012-05-22.pdf |

December revenue was up 76% from last year due to the great weather. Revenue was $272,000, with over 8,300 rounds. Christmas Day generated 99 rounds and about $4,000 in revenue. The golf shop holiday sale, offering free gift wrapping, was successful. The three days of the sale generated about $5,000 in revenue, with total sales of $27,000 for the month. The ballast and light kits on the range will be replaced next month at a cost of approximately $7,000. Installation will involve some closure of the range. A promotion in December in conjunction with Jim's on the Course included green fee, cart fee, sandwich and a fountain soda for $35. The "Wacky Wednesdays" promotion is still running well. - Tournaments generated about $15,000 in December revenue. 2011 tournaments generated over $30,000 more in revenue and 648 more rounds than 2011, thanks in large part to the work of Mike Winkenbach. 4C Beautification Program and Junior Golf Club by Mrs. Norma Arnerich None 4-D Golf Complex Restaurant Report, Jim's on the Course None. 5 AGENDA ITEMS 5-A Status Report on long term lease, Mif Albright negotiations, and proposal for Golf Complex reconfiguration by Ron Cowan and Harbor Bay Isle Associates, including Golf Commission recommendations, if any.

Three carts were damaged a couple of weeks ago by three kids playing bumper cars. He met with the parents of the three and they are going to pay for the damages. Three wedges were stolen from the shop, but the video enabled pro shop staff to identify the thieves. After one was contacted by the police, he agreed to pay for the wedges. Per the City's request, before the Greenway takeover, the debris piles will be removed from the property, the Junior Golf office in the pro shop will be repaired, and concrete work is going to be done around the buildings where there are trip hazards. Revenue for June was up 12% over prior year and the range revenue was up 8%. He is working with Greenway to determine what merchandise will be kept. Rounds for June were 12,735, which is up from June 2011. There was a successful July 4th promotion that included a hot dog and a drink from Jim's.

The Interim General Manager reported that the maintenance crew has returned the Mif Albright Course to its original layout. The Pro Shop staff has placed flyers up around the Complex announcing the changes to the course and the promotional rates. Also an email blast will be sent out through the web site. The putting green at the Driving Range will remain open. The Interim General Manager also mentioned that he is working with Alameda Power and Telecom (AP&T) and Harbor Bay Business Park to get the information included in their newsletters for no cost. The AP&T newsletter requires any information go to the Public Utilities Board for approval prior to inclusion, so there is a little delay. There may also be a possibility of getting the information in the Community of Harbor Bay newsletter, The Gull's Call, although it is completed through May already. The Interim General Manager mentioned that there might be a way to let the collar grow out on the Jack Clark Putting Green in the clubhouse area and the area used for chipping practice. The question was asked how long the promotional rates would be in effect on the Mif Albright Course. The rates are currently only reduced for the month of March and they will be reevaluated at the end of the month. 4-C Report from Interim General Manager Dale Lillard regarding cost estimates from Saylor Consultants for renovation of clubhouse and restaurant.

Also, the fire pits will be installed as well. They are also reconfiguring the snack area which will be smaller but more functional as there will be two registers to move customers through more quickly. The plans for the event center should be submitted to the building department next week. They are hoping to begin construction by the end of July and hope to be open by September or October. The back of the restaurant will be cleaned up when the patio is finished, and then that area will be fenced off. The event center will be shipped when they have received final approval and will arrive in about 30 days. 5-A Discuss Corica Park Marshall/Ambassador Program Chair Downing recused himself as he is currently a Marshall.

There have been several dates discussed, but John has not heard exactly when the closure will take place. John announced that Mike Winkenbach has been retained as Operations Manager/Assistant General Manager, and Greenway is looking to hire some other new staff to fill vacant spots. There will also be a new marketing director retained in the near future, possibly someone already working for Greenway at another location. There will be changes to the marshal program, including not being able to play for free on the weekends. There will be a couple of paid positions for First Tee Hosts. 4-C Beautification Program and Junior Golf Club by Mrs. Norma Arnerich Connie Wendling, reporting in Norma's absence, said that Norma is doing well.

Mrs. Arnerich is recovering from surgery, and the Golf Commissioners sent her their best wishes for a speedy recovery. 4-D Golf Complex Restaurant Report, Jim's on the Course Written report was submitted by Jim's on the Course (attached). 5 AGENDA ITEMS 5-A Status Report on Long Term Lease and Mif Albright Negotiations including Golf Commission recommendations Commissioner Gammell: "First of all, I knew there was a meeting of the non-profit group, mainly Jane and Joe, met with some of the Junior Board members, and since Norma wasn't able, our Vice President Bill Wehr was there, and they met about, well, I wasn't there, but I have knowledge of what they met about. Dale Lillard called me today to ask me what was happening with the Mif, did the Junior Board say forget it, I said, no, absolutely not as far as the non-profit went. And, so, he asked me questions, so I told him the same thing. He hadn't heard from Joe or Jane. I said I'm sure you'll hear from them and that he should call Bill Wehr. He said that's a good idea, he'd do that. So, I said, are we still having the special meeting on January 25th, and he said, yes, but there'll be a closed session first, and then the meeting. And I said, I hope it's not really late, because I'm going on vacation. And he said, well he'd hope not, too, because he was paying for them to come from Chicago. And, I thought yeah, that's out of our golf fund. So Kemper is coming and they will discuss the different options and then the City Council will take it under advisement and we'll go from there." Tim Scates: "So, for my understanding, is Kemper going to present options or the one they prefer?" Commissioner Gammell: "I would assume the one they prefer, maybe, they might say we'll do this or this, and then the City Council will make a decision. And he did mention the 27 holes was definitely one of the options." Commissioner Schmitz: "So, we should get that report the Thursday before." Chair Sullwold: "Not… | GolfCommission/2011-01-19.pdf |
GolfCommission/2009-10-21.pdf,3 | GolfCommission | 2009-10-21 | 3 | 4-C Request for repayment of $300,000 from Measure WW Funds Dale Lillard stated that this particular bond was for purchase of new park lands or for renovation of large areas of traditional parks. He expressed his opinion that the East Bay Regional Park District, which controls distribution of Measure WW funds, would not be inclined to approve renovation projects on "profit-generating" park lands such as the Golf Complex. Dale had spoken to Interim City Manager Ann Marie Gallant regarding the loan to the City of $300,000 from the Golf Enterprise Fund. He said that Ann Marie would be happy to attend a future meeting of the Golf Commission to address issues relating to the $300,000 loan and possible repayment. The Golf Commission agreed to place this item on the November meeting agenda, and asked John Vest to coordinate the date with Ann Marie. 5 ORAL REPORTS 5-A Golf Shop and Driving Range activities report by John Vest John Vest stated that, as of October 21, there have been 787 rounds played at the Complex in October, generating $6,321 in total revenue. He advised that the cart barn had recently been broken into, and the intruders scattered 10 to 15 carts over the golf courses. A side of the cart barn fence had to be repaired, along with the gate. About four cart battery chargers were damaged at a cost of $300 each. John reported that a professional cleaning service has been hired on a temporary basis; they are taking care of all the bathrooms. Receipts are still being checked on the course to reduce the number of non-registered, non-paying golfers. Monthly cards will now be stamped with a statement that the card may be revoked if misused; the purchaser will be required to sign an acknowledgement of the revocation policy at the time of purchase. The driving range has continued to stay busy in the evenings.

Chair Sullwold stated that the three appraisals of the Mif Albright Golf Course did not come out as high as hoped. Peggy Darnell, who had done the original appraisal, did a reappraisal based on the assumption that the property would be sold fully entitled for 130 homes with no required compliance with Alameda's low income housing ordinance, which raised the value from $9.1 million to $15.3 million; the appraiser from Sacramento appraised the property at $13 million; and the third appraiser (from Alameda) came in with a low ball figure of $6.6 million. Commissioner Gammell reported that Mayor Gilmore will be presenting a City Council referral at the Council meeting on November 15, asking Council to amend its previous motion regarding the land swap to direct staff to seek alternative options to the property exchange that would still provide for the long term financial sustainability of the Chuck Corica Golf Complex. 5-B Update on Golf Complex Finances Chair Sullwold stated that City's October financial reports on the Golf Complex came in the week after the November Golf Commission meeting. She asked the finance department whether it would be possible to receive such reports prior to the new regular meeting date of the Golf Commission (the second Tuesday of each month), and was told the City cannot prepare these statements until the 15th of the month at the earliest. There are two options: discuss the reports a month late or change the meeting to the fourth Tuesday of every month. Unfortunately, the men's club meets on the fourth Tuesday, so it was decided that the Commission will stick with the second Tuesday. Chair Sullwold stated that the October financial reports show the net available Enterprise Fund balance at $931,000. Chair Sullw… | GolfCommission/2011-11-08.pdf |

Chair Sullwold stated that she sent an email to John Russo and the City Council members with a suggestion, depending on how the appraisals come out, that the City consider selling the Mif property directly and devote the proceeds exclusively to improving the Golf Complex and building an all weather sports field at Alameda Point. She received a phone call from John Russo and also an email from Lena Tam. John Russo stated that he received the amended appraisal and the value was listed at $15.2 million, which is substantially less than expected. The City has hired an appraiser from Alameda for a second appraisal, and will also hire a third appraiser from outside the City. Lena Tam suggested Chair Sullwold's idea was unworkable because it would require the City to finance the process for obtaining the entitlements, and also because the City is restricted from financing any initiative or ballot measure. Councilmember Tam stated that she has received over 150 voicemails and emails opposing the HBIA land swap proposal, and thinks the opposition to any number of homes will continue. She asked about David Brandt's plan to move the Harbor Bay Club to Mif land and build high end homes on the old property. Chair Sullwold told Councilmember Tam that she had asked the same question of Ron Cowan in early April, and he stated that he needed more houses in order to retire debt that he incurred building infrastructure associated with the original Harbor Bay Isle development. Commissioner Gammell asked if Chair Sullwold sent her email on behalf of the Golf Commission, and Chair Sullwold stated that she did not, but acted purely in her individual capacity as an Alameda citizen.

ORAL REPORTS 5-A Golf Shop and Driving Range activities report by Assistant Golf Professional Mike Robason. The Assistant Golf Professional reported that Golf Complex showed an increase over last August. The NCGA's Youth on the Course program brought in $770 for the month. Commissioner Gammell stated that the Council member deHaan is pressing for the junior rate to be increased. Chair Sullwold stated that is not a large concern with the money now being received from the NCGA program. 5-B Golf Complex Maintenance activities report by Superintendent Doug Poole. Chair Sullwold reported that the crew is in the process of removing the foliage in the ditch along #2 of the Earl Fry Golf Course. The material is being placed in the Fire Tower parking lot to drain before being moved to the waste area behind the Driving Range. Also the greens on the Jack Clark Golf Course are scheduled to be aerated on September 22, 2008. 5-C Beautification Program and Junior Golf Club by Mrs. Norma Arnerich. Mrs. Arnerich reported that the tree dedication for long-time golfer and marshal Neil Coe was nice and many who attended reminisced about the Golf Complex. The Junior Golf Club is having its major fundraiser on October 6, 2008, the Jack Clark Invitational. She encouraged all to sign up for this event, which is $100 per player.

GolfCommission/2007-11-28.pdf,3 | GolfCommission | 2007-11-28 | 3 | 4-E Discussion of the Marshal Program. The Golf Services Manager handed out a draft of the new proposal for the Marshal Program. The changes proposed are reducing the force from 45 to 22 volunteers and requiring the Marshals to work two shifts a week as opposed to the one shift required currently. The shifts will be reduced from 6 hours to 4 hours during non-peak months and from 7 hours to 6 hours during the peak months. The proposal also suggested eliminating the $7 cart rental fee as incentive for the additional shift. The Golf Services Manager will hold a Marshal meeting to discuss the proposed changes and receive feedback from the volunteers. The $7 cart fee will remain in the proposal although the Golf Services Manager has the discretion to reduce the fee to $5 if necessary. 4-F Discussion of Request to use an Owner Operated Golf Cart at the Golf Complex. Chair Sullwold reported that Alameda Women's Golf Club member Dot Moody purchased a golf cart and has requested to use it at the Chuck Corica Golf Complex. The Interim General Manager spoke with the City of Alameda's Risk Manager regarding the issue, who recommended that the Complex not allow privately-owned golf carts access to the golf courses for a number of reasons, primarily liability issues and revenue. Our cart paths are not in good shape, and might be damaged by carts that are heavier than those we rent. Also, the Chuck Corica Golf Complex is in the business of renting golf carts to its customers as a revenue source, and it would be difficult to derive an appropriate payment from a private owner that would provide the Complex with the same revenue. The motion was made to deny the request to allow privately-owned golf carts access at the Chuck Corica Golf Complex. The Golf Commission passed the motion unanimously. 5.

The Golf Services Manager reported that the East Bay junior Golf Championship went well. Many thanks to all of the volunteers who helped to make the tournament a success. The "Demo Day" was a huge success. Management is looking to streamline the merchandise in the Pro Shop by having samples of golf shoes for customers to try on and then ordering the shoes from the vendor and having the product sent directly to the customer. Currently testing out range mats to see which one the customers prefer. Once a mat is decided on they will be installed at the Driving Range. It was mentioned that there are not many rubber tees in the stalls at the far end of the range. The old mat systems will be placed on the Mif Albright Course. It was mentioned that the mats on the Mif Albright Course get saturated by the sprinklers and when a customer hits off of them they get sprayed with mud and water.

The General Manager reported that the Golf Complex is still dealing with the repairs to the snack shack on #9 of the Earl Fry Course. The Health Department cited areas for improvement, not food related, that need to be addressed. The Complex will be working on in house repairs throughout the facility. The Earl Fry Course was aerated recently and the Jack Clark Course is healing nicely. All of the maintenance equipment proposals were reviewed and a supplier was decided on. The lease papers should be completed soon. The General Manager mentioned that there might be a protest by the company not awarded the contract. The City of Alameda will be having an employee BBQ on September 28, 2006 at Tillman Park. The General Manager met with Gallagher and Burke to discuss the parking lot repairs.

Chair Sullwold stated that the City decided to send out another Request for Proposals for the long term operation of the golf complex. Per John Russo's request, she had a great deal of input into this RFP and is pleased as to how it turned out. It is much more open ended, and basically states that you can bid on 36 holes or 45 holes, include the driving range or not, with a minimum buy-in of $1,000,000 and a proposal of a minumum payment to the City, which can be waived during construction, and a detailed schedule of how they propose to do the construction. It went out on Thursday or Friday and has been posted on the website. Bob Sullwold, with Joe VanWinkle's help, prepared a draft, as did the City's consultant, David Sams. Chair Sullwold was not happy with the Sams draft, but, at a meeting with Dale Lillard and Sams on January 5, the other two agreed to use Bob's draft as the basis for the final version. Ed Downing noted that he was surprised and pleased to see that the RFP acknowledges that the Golf Complex has always generated an operating profit. He asked why it was only optional for an operator to include the driving range, and Chair Sullwold explained that one possibility is for the driving range to be operated by Alameda Junior Golf in conjunction with operation of the Mif Albright course. She agreed, however, that it was unlikely that any golf operator would choose not to include the range as part of its proposal. Ed also asked about the language in the RFP about the breakdown between the current operator and the City. Chair Sullwold said it was in… | GolfCommission/2011-12-13.pdf |

Mr. Campbell asked the golf commissioners to encourage the public to express their concerns in the golf shop. Commissioner VanWinkle asked for a report showing resident and non resident play and Mr. Campbell stated he would look into it.

Ms. Wooldridge stated regarding the concession agreement with Jim's on the Course, the City had agreed to give them an administrative six month extension which ran through December 31, 2018. The building permit was issued in December, but Jim's is still out of compliance in terms of contract obligations. The staff is working on an amendment recommendation to extend to December 31, 2019 to present to City Council on March 19. Potential holdups would be the utility project and also EBMUD's possible requirement for a new water meter. 6.

Chair Sullwold stated the Ron Cowan proposal was rejected by the City Council, and City Manager John Russo was authorized to negotiate with KemperSports and Greenway Golf for the long term lease of the Golf Complex. Mr. Russo has asked the evaluation committee to conduct additional interviews with both companies. David Sams, the City's golf consultant, is preparing a draft of questions for both companies. Chair Sullwold asked that other members of the Golf Commission or the public to submit any questions they would like answered by email no later than Monday, March 19. Both companies will make presentations to the City Council on April 3rd Chair Sullwold asked John Vest about the source of the email addresses for an email that went out to golfers from the Alameda Youth Sports Foundation in support of the land swap. She indicated that she had been asked to look into this matter by several golfers who were concerned about how their addresses could have gotten to that organization. John said that Kemper had received a request for the database, that the request had been referred to City staff, possibly the City Attorney, and that the database had indeed been released, but he was not sure of the precise details. He agreed to look into the matter further and report back. 5-B Update on Golf Complex Finances Bob Sullwold stated that through the first seven months of the fiscal year 2011/2012, the net operating income is $681,000, payments to the City total $312,000, and $240,000 was added to the Enterprise Fund, leaving a cash balance of over $1,000,000 as of the end of January.

Seven carts were taken out of the barn. All but two carts have been repaired and are back up and running. One cart is missing from the property. The police were notified and a report has been filed. The fence that the vandals got in through has been repaired. Over 200 tournament rounds were played last Saturday. John praised Mike Winkenbach for generating over $42,000 in tournament round revenue recently. Kemper has been aggressive in negotiating with league play representatives, letting them know they could work with them in regards to green fees, which could generate over $30,000 over 800 rounds through the end of the year. A lot of the dead stock merchandise has been sold at discounted prices. Promotional rates are being loaded into Golf Now. An electrician is coming out to see if both cart barns can be turned on at the same time, to hopefully alleviate any future problems with the carts not being charged. 5-B Golf Complex Maintenance activities report by John Vest John Vest stated that a Toro rough mowing unit has been ordered and should be here in about four weeks. We continue, however, to spend about $7,000 on equipment repairs.

There was a question as to when the juniors are eligible to play for $1.00, and he stated that they are able to play after noon. The golf shop is running a twilight special, which is normally 2:00 p.m. this time of year.

Dead pine trees have been removed on the Clark course, including the tree in front of the pro shop. Matt also stated that one of his staff members has been assigned fulltime responsibility for landscaping in the areas around the pro shop, driving range and restaurant.

GolfCommission/2022-01-11.pdf,2 | GolfCommission | 2022-01-11 | 2 | 5-A Beautification Program and Junior Golf Club Chair Downing stated there have been three meetings with Greenway staff and Alameda Junior Golf involving a Memorandum of Agreement, and after every meeting, they left with an understanding of what the agreement would look like, and at the next meeting, there were changes. One of the concerns he had was there was no one in attendance from Greenway that could make a decision, and by the next meeting, some of the proposals had changed. He was concerned about two words that were used, the first being subsidization, they did not feel that they should be subsidizing Alameda Junior Golf Club, and he feels they should be supporting a city group that has been playing junior golf for decades on a city owned golf course. In his view, subsidization was the wrong word, support would have been better. The second phrase that concerned him was "stand alone", that the junior golf club should stand alone without their support. Again, it's a city group and city club, there should be some support from Greenway, but his understanding of "stand alone" was not to expect any support from the course, and if it impacts revenue, Greenway is not willing to support. Green fees went from pre pandemic were $1.00 to $25.00 to play the entire course, and the Mif rates were previously free and will be $5.00 for the summer events. As a result of these increases, the junior golf club has had to raise their annual membership fee from $50.00 to $75.00 to help defer these increases. He feels that this is not as supportive as he hoped, and the MOU is not what he hoped it would be. He encourages the City to take a look online at the Solano County Junior Golf program to see what type of support is given elsewhere. Per Connie Wendling, membership applications are available in the clubhouse, Alameda Golf Works, and the driving range. Great response has been received for their donation requests from the community. There is a new website available, and volunteers are always needed.

Greenway is looking to get a temporary occupancy permit for a soft opening on Saturday, April 14. Once the windows are in, there will an official Grand Opening event. Mr. Campbell stated that the putting green has been rough shaped and they are working on plans to move the fire hydrant. Marc Logan stated that work on the putting green was on hold due to the relocation of the fire hydrant. Mr. Campbell stated in anticipation of the opening of the new south course, a new cart fleet has been ordered which will be equipped with GPS. He stated that June 22 would be the first day for Alameda residents to play and open to all on June 23. Prior, there will be several events, including a ribbon cutting ceremony.

After that, then permits will need to be issued, probably in March. Mr. Campbell stated that before the South Course opens, the commitment by both Greenway and Jims on the Course is to have the Event Center, Courtyard and Putting Green done. There is no timeline at this time for the renovation of the exterior of the buildings. Amy Wooldridge stated that tonight they are looking for a vote to approve the color and material palette for the Jims on the Course to move forward. She stated that the conceptual plan had already been approved. Bob Wood asked about the toilets at the Event Center, are they permanent toilet facilities or will it be a temporary service by an outside vendor, and Mr. Geanekos stated that they have not discussed it yet. Joe VanWinkle encouraged the Golf Commission to approve the plans as presented. Commissioner Saxton made a motion to approve the Color and Materials Palette as presented, it was seconded by Vice-Chair Downing and the motion passed unanimously. Discussion ensued regarding the wall where the Jims on the Course sign hangs, and Mr. Campbell stated that they are looking at different stone options to tie in with other exterior options they are considering. He stated that he will have the designer make some recommendations. 6. ORAL COMMUNICATIONS, NON-AGENDA (Public Comment) None 7.

GolfCommission/2009-12-16.pdf,4 | GolfCommission | 2009-12-16 | 4 | 5-B Golf Complex Maintenance activities report by Matt Wisely Matt Wisely stated that we have had 6.3 inches of rain since October, and have also seen temperatures as low as 20 degrees, which has created some frost delays. Some of the greens have brown spots. The staff recently repaired about a thousand ball marks on the greens. The golf shop staff will be distributing divot tools to encourage the players to repair their own ball marks. Signs have been posted on both courses on tees 1 and 10 from the superintendent's association explaining the significance of repairing ball marks, raking bunkers and replacing divots. Signs have also been posted in the golf shop and on the carts encouraging these practices. In response to a question from Chair Sullwold, Mr. Wisely said they plan to look into the costs of putting sand and seed bottles on the golf carts in the near future. Mr. Wisely stated that the type of grass on the fairways determines what the mixture of sand and seed should be, but the cost of installing and maintaining sand and seed bottles on 120 carts would be significant. He also stated that this time of year, you can get by with just replacing your divots, although that method does not work in the drier months. Mr. Wisely stated that he had 28 people apply for the open maintenance jobs. After interviewing 16, he hired seven new workers including a mechanic; all will start on January 4, 2010. Also, a couple of city staff members are going to come back later in the year on a part time basis. The staff will include 17 employees as of January 4. They will be changing the operation when the new staff is aboard. John Vest stated that 20 new cart batteries will be put into operation. 5-C Beautification Program and Junior Golf Club by Mrs. Norma Arnerich According to Mrs. Arnerich, there is nothing to report on the Beautification Program at this time.

GolfCommission/2009-09-16.pdf,3 | GolfCommission | 2009-09-16 | 3 | 5-B Golf Complex Maintenance activities report by Matt Wisely Matt Wisely stated we are having serious equipment issues, especially concerning equipment for mowing the rough, which has to be repaired on a daily basis. He and John Vest have discussed this issue with Dale Lillard, but the City does not want to get involved in any new leases until the transition is over. The City might authorize equipment rentals, but apparently this type of equipment under a short-term rental agreement. Staffing lately has been difficult due to the fact that the City employees are being notified that if they don't take vacation, they will stop accruing additional vacation days. Emphasis has therefore been on the basics: mowing the greens, changing the cups, raking the bunkers and mowing the fairways. One rough cutting unit is operating at this time, so it has been switched back and forth between the North and South courses on a weekly basis. The golf courses are shaping up and the greens are improving. Matt is working with vendors on how to improve the green health going into winter. Smaller bore aerification will be done twice, once in September and once in the middle of October. Matt is also working on the water source, as the water is coming out dirty due to the 15-year-old filtration system that is no longer functioning properly. Three eucalyptus trees were lost as a result of recent light rain, two on the 6th hole and one on 1st hole on the Earl Fry course. The Kemper maintenance workers have started punching in and out on a recently- purchased time clock, and the City staff will begin using the clock at the end of September. When questioned about the bad odors coming from the ponds, Matt indicated that he has been trying to come up with a solution. 5-C Beautification Program and Junior Golf Club by Mrs. Norma Arnerich A tree planting ceremony will be held on the first Thursday of October in memory of long-time AWGC member Louise Merritt.

GolfCommission/2010-11-17.pdf,5 | GolfCommission | 2010-11-17 | 5 | 5-B Update on Golf Complex Finances Bob Sullwold stated that in terms of rounds, in October, the Clark course held its own compared to the same period last year. Rounds on the Fry and Mif were down. For the four months of this fiscal year, Clark is about even with where it was last year, Fry is down 12% and the Mif is down 21%. "I suspect that the Mif number reflects the fact that there was probably a big surge after we got the course reopened, and the people that had been waiting since March for the City to take some kind of action. On a revenue basis, collectively for the four months revenue is down about 5%, so the only positive note [is that] the Clark appears to be holding its own. I guess, based on what John has said, I would suspect that the reason is the promotions you've been running focus on the Clark and that's why the rounds are staying up there, even though with the promotions, the revenue is not keeping pace with that. On a year-to-date basis, in terms of overall financial results, our friend at the City claims that net operating income this year is $131,000, operating cash has generated $201,000 and there has been a net withdrawal from the Enterprise Fund of $108,000, which compares to the previous year. "If we believe our friends at the City, through the first four months of last fiscal year -- July, August, September, October, the good months -- there had actually been a contribution to the Enterprise Fund of about $6,000; this year there was a draw against it of about $100,000. If you believe the City, the current balance in the Enterprise Fund is around $700,000. Here's one reason why it's hard to believe: do you remember when Ann Marie Gallant was here and we asked her about the item in the Income Statement that was called Services, and the question was is there anything in there other than payments to Kemper and she said no, that's all Kemper. So, what I did is I've got three months Kemper is on a calendar year basis and the City is on a fiscal year basis. I took the first three months of thi… | GolfCommission/2010-11-17.pdf |
GolfCommission/2012-07-10.pdf,3 | GolfCommission | 2012-07-10 | 3 | 5-B Update on Golf Complex Finances Bob Sullwold stated that rounds and revenues are up through the month of May over the prior fiscal year. Fry rounds were up 1,500, and Clark rounds up 200. Revenue was up about $10,000. Year to date, rounds on the Fry are up about 28% and about 11.5% on the Clark. Corresponding revenue figures show about 16% on the Fry and about 4.5% on the Clark. On the City's May financial statement, there was a draw down on the Enterprise Fund in excess of $400,000. According to the City, part of that was a result of prepayment of Kemper's June invoice, but the remainder appeared to be due to a $242,497 charge by the City for transfers to other funds. Chair Sullwold asked Fred Marsh of the Finance Department about these two items, and he responded that he could not get back to her until Wednesday. 6.

In early December, he became a partner in Greenway as an investor, and felt this was a great property. Since that time, they have been working on a vision for the future of the golf complex. One of the items he will be working on in the near future are the bathrooms. He stated that we will have one of the greenest golf courses around, having using virtually no water as opposed to 150,000 million gallons potentially. The first priority is to have nine holes on the north open by the end of this year.

GolfCommission/2021-10-12.pdf,2 | GolfCommission | 2021-10-12 | 2 | 6-A Review and Comment on the Corica Park Rate Increases Umesh Patel of Greenway Golf stated that rates will be increased on October 14, which have been submitted to Amy Wooldridge and summarized how the rate structures at other golf courses in the bay area were used to determine the new rates. It includes a 34% discount for residents over the seven days of the week, which compares to less than 30% compared to Monarch Bay and Metro during the week and less then 20% on the weekend, which is higher than any other course in the area except for Harding Park. Rates have not been raised in over 3-1/2 years and feels this is a fair increase. Commissioner Su asked how this would impact tee time availability, and demand for play. Mr. Patel stated there would be more tee times, due to the Covid-19 demand waning, more times will be available, and times will be open after 4:00 PM for both courses starting on October 14, as well as 10-minute tee time intervals. Commissioner Su then asked about the capability to secure tee times has been difficult due to only 7 days in advance, and Mr. Patel stated that changes are coming to the Founders membership in regard to overbooking tee times. 90-day advance tee times will soon be available. Chair Downing shared his concern for the service clubs, especially for the non- resident members. Mr. Patel stated there will be going to a consistent rate among the clubs which will be fair and transparent and doesn't feel that Greenway should subsidize the non-resident members, since the non-resident members pay resident rates during events. Commissioner Loud feels that consideration should made to the service club members as they have been coming and supporting the course for several years, in both good and bad times. Commissioner Lattimore asked if consumers had any input regarding these rates, and Mr. Patel responded that they had several conversations with regular members regarding the raise in rates. There was very little pushback regarding the new rates, remembering that we did not raise rat… | GolfCommission/2021-10-12.pdf |

GolfCommission/2009-01-21.pdf,3 | GolfCommission | 2009-01-21 | 3 | 6-B Golf Complex Financial Report, Secretary Delaney Secretary Delaney deferred to Bob Sullwold. Mr. Sullwold stated that in December 2008, the golf course once again generated a positive cash flow and once again had to deplete the enterprise fund because the positive cash flow did not cover the amount owed to the City. Also in December 2008 the rounds played were relatively the same as December 2007. For the six month period ending December 2008, the Golf Complex produced a positive cash flow of $322,000, but were required to pay the City $433,000, so the first six months the enterprise fund had to be drawn down $172,000. He also stated that when the City staff presented its budget to the City Council, it projected that the enterprise fund would have to be drawn down by $700,000. Last year for the first six months, the enterprise fund had to be drawn down by $322,000, a difference of $150,000 from the first six months of this year. That projection was based on the assumption by Mr. Lillard that there would be a 10% decline in play this year compared to last year. Actually, the play on the Fry and Clark courses are up slightly in the first six months. Based on the four month analysis from September to December since the fee increase went into effect, compared to September to December 2007, total green fees and monthly passes increased by $70,000, but revenues from lessons and the driving range decreased by $42,000. ? stated the rounds played in December were 6,555, compared to 7,117 in 2007 which included 642 rounds on the Mif course. John Vest stated that the previous weekend along with the holiday, there were close to 300 rounds each day. 6-C Maintenance, Buildings, Security, Albright Course and Driving Range, Commissioner Wood No Report 7.
