GolfCommission/2005-05-18.pdf,1 | GolfCommission | 2005-05-18 | 1 | ALAMEDA GOLF COMMISSION MINUTES OF MEETING Wednesday, May 18, 2005 1. CALL TO ORDER Chair Sandré Swanson called the meeting to order at 7:00 p.m. in Room #360, Alameda City Hall, 2263 Santa Clara Avenue. 1-A.

Absent: None. Also present was Head Golf Professional Matt Plumlee. 1-B Approval of Minutes - Regular Meeting of April 20, 2005 The following correction was made to the minutes: Commissioner Bob Wood was absent and not present as stated.

AGENDA ITEMS: 3-A Presentation on Front Entrance Beautification by Commissioner Wood. Eight years ago Commissioner Wood constructed a model of a potential plan to redesign the front entrance to the Chuck Corica Golf Complex. The plan included renovation of the Fire Training Tower instead of removing the structure. The General Manager met with the Acting City Manager recently and the discussion concerned removing the tower. The Acting City Manager would like the structure removed and the cost absorbed by the Golf Complex. The question was raised why the Golf Complex is responsible for the price of the tower removal when the site has been utilized by the Fire Department. The redesign consists of removing or relocating many obstacles that are located in the area of the entrance. It was mentioned that there is a memorial flagpole and plaque | GolfCommission/2005-05-18.pdf |
GolfCommission/2005-05-18.pdf,2 | GolfCommission | 2005-05-18 | 2 | located at the site, which should not be removed. The model shows two semi circular walls at the entrance and additional foliage. The tower itself would be stripped of the fire escapes and the windows would be covered. The top of the tower would be peaked and possibly a clock tower installed. The tower would act as a landmark for the Golf Complex. Any additions to the structure would necessitate a structural assessment of the building. The problem with keeping the tower instead of tearing it down is that it would be costly and would serve no purpose other than aesthetics. The question was raised as to the cost of tearing the structure down versus renovating it. The General Manager has met with an environmental company to get an estimate on the cost of removal. Commissioner Wood will research the funds needed to perform a cost analysis for the renovation and retrofit of the structure. The Golf Commissioners agree that although the entry is in need of beautification, the main priority for the Golf Complex is the new clubhouse project and that is where their attention needs to be focused. 4. ORAL REPORTS 4-A Golf Shop and Driving Range activities report by Head Golf Professional Matt Plumlee. The Head Golf Professional welcomed the newly appointed Golf Commissioners, Ray Gaul, Jane Sullwold and Bill Schmitz. Chair Swanson suggested that a new division of labor for the Golf Commission monthly reports be done, taking into consideration the interest of the Commissioners. Commissioner Gaul requested that the City of Alameda's ordinance 2-9.4, regarding the Golf Commission's responsibilities be reviewed. The recommendation was made to place the item on the agenda. The Head Golf Professional reported that the Mif Albright Course has been aerated and work has begun on the new short game practice area at the Driving Range.

Vice Chair Santare reported that the two major Capital Improvement Projects (CIPs) are currently the Clubhouse project and the Urban Runoff project. Also reported was that the golf courses are in good shape with the exception of some dead areas of grass. The question was raised concerning the Ladies tee on #14 of the Earl Fry Course and where it is suppose to be. The Head Golf Professional stated that the tee is located at the very front of the tee area before the water feature. The complaint was that the tee is often on the other side of the water, in the area where the yellow (drop area) tees are. 5-D Golf Complex Financial Report The total revenue from golf on the three (3) courses was down 22% for the | GolfCommission/2005-05-18.pdf |
GolfCommission/2005-05-18.pdf,4 | GolfCommission | 2005-05-18 | 4 | month of April 2005 as compared to April 2004, with play down by 35%. For fiscal year 2004-2005, play is down 20% and revenue from golf is down 11%, as compared to fiscal year 2003-2004. All ancillary services were below their revenue from last April with the exception of lessons. The Golf Complex showed a loss for the month of $58,010 due to a three pay period month, which increased personnel expenditures by over $100,000. The first ten months of fiscal year 2004/2005 show a loss of $290,707. A contributing factor to this loss is the sixty-four (64) rain days to date compared to thirty-five (35) last year. 5-E New Clubhouse, Complex Entry and General Design and Construction Issues, Commissioner Wood. Commissioner Wood reiterated to the new Golf Commissioners that he has taken the footprint of the Poplar Creek Golf Course and placed it on the Chuck Corica Golf Complex footprint and the design fits very well. The current buildings at the Complex are 10,500 square feet and the Poplar Creek design is 11,600 square feet, adding 1,100 square feet. The Poplar Creek banquet room is L-shaped and holds 169 patrons. The plans for the original Chuck Corica Golf Complex rebuild called for a larger capacity banquet room. It needs to be considered that if you change the plans that already exist there could be a significant cost, possibly out weighing the benefit of purchasing the plans. The City of Alameda is currently negotiating with the City of San Mateo on a price for the plans. The purchase of the plans was an idea to save money and get the project moving along. Financially to get the project done concessions may need to be made in the size of the banquet facility. The request was made to receive a report on the cost of the plans. The question was asked concerning the timeline for the project. The timeline is currently dependant on the new financial projections showing the debt that can be handled by the Complex. The previously compiled data is no longer accurate. The suggestion was made to have another joint work session… | GolfCommission/2005-05-18.pdf |
