Chair Wood referenced the minutes from the February 11, 2007 special meeting where the fee change schedule was corrupted. Chair Wood requested that the fee change schedule be included in the minutes as an attachment. The request was also made to have the reformatted fee change schedule included in the City Council staff report for the March 20, 2007 meeting. Secretary Sullwold made the motion to rescind the prior approval of the February 11, 2007 special meeting minutes and approve the amended and reformatted minutes and fee change schedule attachment dated March 5, 2007.

Chair Wood reported that BMS, an architectural landscaping firm, was contacted in October 2006 to do a study when the Golf Commission was looking at erecting a temporary structure to serve as a banquet facility. The purpose of the report was to get an idea of additional cost associated with putting up a temporary structure. The scope of work got expanded to look at not only the area around the existing clubhouse and the proposed new banquet facility but also secondarily to look at the entryway at the corner of Island Drive and Clubhouse Memorial Road as a separate zone and then as another zone the driveway (Clubhouse Memorial Road) to a portion of the parking lot.

Again, I was able to convince Lisa Goldman, the Acting City Manager, that our process was perfectly legal and we should be able to follow it and she conceded to that. On the other hand, our parking spaces were summarily removed without any notice, even though they've been in existence, I've been informed by Lil Arnerich, since the 1950's. In addition, as Bill noted, there is no representative here from Kemper nor is there anyone here from the City. I sent an email to Lisa Goldman asking her how we were expected to fulfill the specific duties that were outlined in the Municipal Code Section setting up the Golf Commission, which allows the Golf Commission or gave the Golf Commission the power to seek reports from the General Manager of the Golf Complex. And since, of course, we 1 Golf Commission Minutes - Wednesday, January 19, 2011 | GolfCommission/2011-01-19.pdf |

ORAL COMMUNICATIONS None. 3. COMMISSION COMMUNICATIONS None. 4. AGENDA ITEMS: 4-A Response from the City Auditor. Chair Sullwold read a letter from City Auditor Kevin Kearney dated May 20, 2008, purportedly explaining the accounting procedures concerning the golf cart lease. The Golf Fund is being charged the entire amount of the four-year lease -- $449,000 -- in this fiscal year. Mr. Kearney did not answer the question of why this was necessary in his letter. He compared the golf cart lease to a home mortgage, but, of course, a home owner is not required to put aside the entire amount due to be paid over the 30-year term of his mortgage during the first year, making the comparison inappropriate. The Commission intends to ask Mr. Kearney additional questions. Chuck Corica Golf Complex Page 1 06/16/08 Golf Commission Minutes | GolfCommission/2008-05-21.pdf |

The Interim General Manager introduced Ed Getherall of the National Golf Foundation (NGF), the consultant firm hired to perform the operational review. Mr. Getherall gave a brief overview of how the information for the study is compiled. The study has several components; the first component is the financial analysis, operating history and operating efficiencies, the management structure and current trends. The second component will look at what capital improvements should be made with the limited resources. The third component is researching where the Complex stands in the current marketplace and the local competitors. It was noted that the market has changes quite a lot over the past 10 years. He noted that rounds and revenue have dropped while expenses have risen. This trend is not only seen at Chuck Corica Golf Complex but in municipal golf all across the region and all over the country. He stated that 10 years ago 90% of NGF's work was doing feasibility studies for new golf courses and currently 90% is doing operational reviews for City owned municipal golf courses, Municipal Golf C… | GolfCommission/2007-05-16.pdf |

The Commission approved the minutes unanimously. 1-C Adoption of Agenda The Commission adopted the agenda unanimously. 2. ORAL COMMUNICATIONS 3. AGENDA ITEMS: 3-A Discussion of Chuck Corica Golf Complex Clubhouse Project Cost Estimates from Dahlin Group. The General Manager reported that the cost estimates for the clubhouse are completed. During the process of completing the estimates it became clear that it was not cost effective to use the plans from the City of San Mateo's Poplar Creek Golf Course. The number of changes needed to the existing plans made them impractical. The General Manager welcomed Dorene Soto from the Development Services Department. Ms. Soto reported that the cost estimates came in at $7.5 million. The problem with the Poplar Creek plan is that they didn't really fit the site and the changes needed are so extensive that you might as well start from scratch. Ms. Soto asked the Dahlin Group what could be done to bring the cost down and they suggested only building the banquet facility now and phase the other areas of the project. The question was raised regarding the difference from the original cost estimate of $6.5 million. The original estimates did not include the furniture, fixtures and soft costs. The soft costs include the redrawing of the plans, which is estimated at $750,000. Not included in these estimates are soil cleanup if any is necessary and time billed by the Development Services Page 1 of 4 | GolfCommission/2006-08-16.pdf |

Rounds on the Clark course in September 2009 were about 130 more than September 2008. In general, however, rounds are down this year as compared with last year, and the downward trend appears to be continuing. Compared to August 2009, September rounds are down on all three courses.

The impression they received from Ms. Gallant was that it was unwise for them to push for an agreement to be reached between the City and AJGA. Ms. Gallant suggested that they wait until after the election or possibly January 2011. Ms. Gallant indicated that she had asked Kemper Sports to respond to five scenarios, but could not remember the scenarios at that time. Chair Sullwold received an email from Mr. Lillard the following day explaining the five scenarios as follows: 1. A 36-hole renovation with the Mif to remain open operated by a non-profit. - 1 - Golf Commission Minutes - Wednesday, July 21, 2010 | GolfCommission/2010-07-21.pdf |

She reminded the Commission that Ms. Gallant was intending to include three scenarios in the Request for Proposals, but that the Golf Commission would not see the RFP until it was close to final form. Chair Sullwold also noted that City Council had on its July 7 closed session agenda item 3-B, Conference with real property negotiators involving the property located at 1855 Northloop Road (the Ron Cowan Village Six parcel) and 1 Clubhouse Memorial Road (the Mif Albright Course) for purposes of negotiation for price and terms for an exchange. Jane and Bob both intended to speak before the Council retired for its closed session, but the City Clerk came out to announce that the matter had been put over until July 21 because Ms. Gallant had to go out of town that afternoon due to a family emergency. - 1 - Golf Commission Minutes - Wednesday, July 15, 2009 | GolfCommission/2009-07-15.pdf |

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.

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 impro… | GolfCommission/2008-11-19.pdf |

In the course of various conversations, Ms. Gallant responded to a variety of things and she said that in terms of Doug deHaan's amendment to the motion of City Council that options be explored for other kinds of operation of the Mif Albright course, that - 1 - Golf Commission Minutes - Thursday, January 21, 2010 | GolfCommission/2010-01-21.pdf |

The General Manager passed out the information packet containing a draft of the Management Practice on the Volunteer Marshal Work Program and the comparison policies from the other golf courses.

And then there was something about the sloughs, but it was really poorly worded and nobody could really understand what it was. They imposed an expenditure of $7,800 for this item for which they were going to charge the Golf Enterprise Fund. Well, I was pretty outraged about it and I went down and made a fuss, and one of my few accomplishments as a Golf Commissioner is that I got them to agree to not take it out of the Golf Enterprise Fund.

Chair Sullwold summarized the meeting by saying that she doesn't think that she changed Councilmember Gilmore's mind, although she was able to voice concerns of the Golf Commission. When questions about the Beltline expense charged to the Golf Complex, Councilmember Gilmore stated that the Chuck Corica Golf Complex is in a risk management pool with AP&T and one other City department (possibly Sewer). "Risk management" expenses are shared on a pro rata basis among those in the pool, regardless of where the risk has been incurred. Councilmember Gilmore expressed the view that Council is disappointed with the Golf Commission for failing to recognize the inevitability of going out to bid for a long-term outside contractor. Chair Sullwold pointed out that the Commission last fall had reluctantly accepted the need for a contractor if the City was unable to pay Chuck Corica Golf Complex Page 1 6/18/08 Golf Commission Minutes | GolfCommission/2008-06-18.pdf |

Because Interim City Manager needed to return to City Hall, the Commission agreed to consider agenda item 4-B first. 2 ORAL COMMUNICATIONS None 3 COMMISSION COMMUNICATIONS Chair Sullwold reported on a meeting with Interim General Manager Ann Marie Gallant attended by herself, Norma Arnerich and Joe VanWinkle. Ms. Gallant said she had been advised by staff that Ron Cowan has a legal right to build additional houses on Harbor Bay Isle because he won a lawsuit against the City, and that she therefore was trying to find him property on which to build because the City does not want houses on Cowan's Village 6 property. After the meeting, Bob Sullwold researched the issue and prepared a detailed memo showing that, in fact, the lawsuit did not establish that Cowan had any legal right to force the City to find him land on which to build additional homes, only the right to apply to rezone his Village 6 parcel. He applied for re-zoning, but the application was denied by the Planning Board. Chair Sullwold intended to place this matter on the Golf Commission Agenda for discussion, but, on the day that the agenda was due to be posted, she received an email from City Attorney Teresa Highsmith, advising that she had instructed the - 1 - Golf Commission Minutes - Wednesday, June 17, 2009 | GolfCommission/2009-06-17.pdf |

(Action Item) Chair Wood reported that representatives from the Marshal Program, Golf Commission and Management met to discuss the proposed changes to the Marshal benefits. The meeting resulted in a reduction of the proposed cart fee of $10 to $7. Also it was agreed upon that Marshal's would be allowed to play golf one time on the weekend provided that they are playing with a paying threesome and the Marshal does not make the reservation. The program will be reviewed in three to six months and if the financial climate at the Complex has improved the benefits will be increased. There was some confusion regarding the rate a customer playing with a marshal will pay for a golf cart. The rate will be the applicable rate at the time of play and based on the age of the player. The same benefits will be included in the management practice for the employee benefits. The following changes were made to the Management Practice's footnote: "The aforementioned benefits shall apply to all persons eligible to receive complimentary green fees, including, but not limited to employees, volunteers, Golf Commissioners, City Council Members, PGA/LPGA and other VIP guests."

And I'm not completely sure of how the final motion will read in the minutes, but it was simply to adopt Doug's referral but add to it language that the negotiations with the Alameda Junior Golf Association for the Mif Albright Course will be done in conjunction with, and in consideration with the negotiations with Kemper for the rest of the Golf Complex."

She also advised that the meeting could be held in the absence of a quorum only for the purpose of receiving reports. Chair Sullwold noted that the language in the municipal code ("The votes of a majority of the entire membership of the Commission shall be necessary to take any action thereof") is susceptible of two different interpretations, but the City Attorney has chosen the one that makes things more difficult for Commissions like ours that have unfilled positions. Chair Sullwold also stated she had wanted to call a special meeting prior to the March 6 Council meeting, but had not realized that the new Sunshine 1 Golf Commission Minutes - Tuesday, March 13, 2012 | GolfCommission/2012-03-13.pdf |

The letter stated that City Staff was preparing a transcript of that meeting, and cautioned the Commission to be careful in future meetings, although it did not actually describe the accusations of the anonymous person or persons, so it was not apparent what the Commission was alleged to have done wrong. Thereafter, Chair Sullwold had a conversation with Mayor Johnson regarding the January meeting transcript, which Mayor Johnson was in the process of reviewing, - 1 - Golf Commission Minutes - Wednesday, March 17, 1210 | GolfCommission/2010-03-17.pdf |

CALL TO ORDER Chair Jane Sullwold called the special meeting to order at 6:35 p.m. at Jim's on the Course Restaurant, Chuck Corica Golf Complex, 1 Clubhouse Memorial Drive, Alameda. 1-A.

On May 27, 2008, City Council held a special meeting at which the Chuck Corica Golf Complex budget for FY 2008/2009 was discussed. No member of the Golf Commission was present because no one from staff had advised the Commission that the matter would be coming up that evening. Fortunately, however, the meeting was videotaped and could be viewed the next day through the City's website, which all commissioners had done before the meeting. The budget that had been presented by Interim General Manager to the Golf Commission at its meeting on April 16, 2008, was presented to Council on May 27. In general, the proposed budget showed that the Golf Complex was anticipated to have a deficit of approximately $700,000 in the next fiscal year, unless the City agreed to rescind the Surcharge and Return on Investment ("ROI"), in which case the deficit would be reduced to approximately $440,000. Council immediately questioned why the City should be required to "subsidize" a deficit at the Golf Complex out of the General Fund by returning the Surcharge and ROI, and no one from staff pointed out why this was incorrect: that the Complex has actually been subsidizing the Gene… | GolfCommission/2008-06-04.pdf |
