SUMMARY STATEMENT:
Each year Council sets the rates for the upcoming golf season based upon recommendation from staff and the Golf Course Advisory Committee (GCAC). The GCAC recommends a 3% increase across
the board. In 2016 Council directed staff to adjust the rates each year by the CPI to keep up with inflation. The published CPI in January 2022 is 7%. Staff presented the CPI adjustment
and GCAC recommendation to City Council at the January 27th meeting and was directed to adjust rates by the CPI. The proposed rate schedule is attached along with rates from comparable
courses.
The Golf department has been notified by our suppliers of pricing for the major items needed for the 2022 season: Fertilizer – 62% increase; Fuel – 40% increase; Chemicals – 20% increase.
The Golf department is in competition for seasonal staff like every business in McCall. Our starting pay is $13 per hour compared to other local businesses advertising $16-$20 per hour.
An increase to $16 per hour is proposed to ensure we have the number of persons needed to adequately prepare and maintain the course for play each day.
Both Meadow Creek and Jug Mountain have indicated that they are looking to raise fees. Both have season passes that are more than the City of McCall Golf Course. The average cost per
round for McCall season pass holders will go from $22.65 to $24.24 after the 7% increase. This is less than half of the Daily green’s fees rate.
The golf course has had two good years in a row with higher number of rounds being played. The Golf Fund has met the City’s required cash reserve policy for the first time in many years.
In 2021 the new rate schedule resulted in 2.8% of rate revenues deposited to a capital reserve for Master Plan projects. Staff recommends continuing this formula.
RECOMMENDED ACTION:
Hold the Public Hearing
Adopt Resolution 22-07 setting the Golf Course Rates for 2022 and authorize the Mayor to sign all necessary documents.
OR
Continue the public hearing and direct staff to bring back new rates at the next Council meeting
