SUMMARY STATEMENT:
Each year the Golf Course Advisory Committee is tasked by Council to make a recommendation on what the golf rates should be for the upcoming season. This year the GCAC, after multiple
meetings to discuss this, recommends the Council raise rates 3% across all fees.
As the Golf Fund is an Enterprise Fund, the Council has historically increased fees in line with the CPI to keep up with inflationary costs to maintain operations. The Council made an
exception last year and increased rates beyond the CPI in order to establish the golf facilities improvement fund to start saving money for the capital projects identified in the Golf
Course Assessment Management Plan.
The annual CPI as of December 31, 2021 is 7% as recently reported by the federal Bureau of Labor on January 12th. The Golf maintenance budget seen these types of price increases and
more locally. The cost for our fuel, fertilizer, and chemicals are all up more than 7% and are a significant portion of the budget.
Staff recommends Council continue their practice of adjusting rates by the CPI to keep the Golf operations budget in balance without requiring an additional transfer of money from the
General Fund. Fee increases above 5% require a public hearing before they are adopted.
RECOMMENDED ACTION:
Give Staff direction on rates to bring back at the February 24 meeting.
