MINUTES
I. CALL TO ORDER AND ROLL CALL
Mayor Smith called the meeting to order at 7:10 p.m.
Councilmen VanKomen, Wallace, Larson and LeBrett answered
the roll call. A quorum was present.
II.GOLF PRO CONTRACT
The Mayor asked that the compensation matter be
discussed in Executive session at the conclusion of this
agenda. The Council concurred and the agenda was moved.
III. GOLF CONCESSION CONTRACT
After brief discussion, VanKomen moved to reject all
proposals received to the advertised request for
proposals. Larson seconded and the motion carried. The
reason for this was that efforts were made to make the
proposal work to the best interest of the city and it
could not be made to do so.
A schedule for compensation of the manager was then
distributed which outlined increasing percentages of
compensation based upon increasing gross earnings.
VanKomen moved to adopt the compensation schedule and
direct the City Attorney to draft an agreement between the
City and Louis Howard for golf concession management
services to effect the other general terms and conditions
of the Request for Proposals, to have Bond counsel review
and approve the document, and to return it to the Council
for approval. LeBrett seconded and the motion carried.
VanKomen then moved that the agreement include a
provision that at the end of the first year's operation,
the Mayor and Council would have a right to review the
financial performance of this operation, in Executive
Session, prior to negotiation for a second year contract
extension. Wallace seconded and the motion carried
unanimously.
The Council then discussed the opening of the course,
scheduled for April 11, in light of the possibility of no
contract being approved. Mr. Howard agreed to begin work
without a contract if necessary. VanKomen moved to permit
Mr. Howard to begin operations on April 11 to coordinate
with the course opening. Larson seconded and the motion
carried.
It was then suggested that the pay dates for the fee be
the 20th of the month, commencing whenever the course
opened and that the agreement be for one year only. The
9ttorney was so instructed.
IV. WATER RATE DISCUSSION:
1. BOND ISSUE AMOUNT: After some discussion, the
consensus of the Council was to estimate a $4.9 million
Bond issue for purposes of the rate discussion.
2. MISCELLANEOUS PROJECT COST: The Council
determined that $75,000 for unanticipated capital projects
per annum be included in the budget for purposes of the
rate discussion.
3. CONTRACT FOR WATER SERVICE AND TURN-OFF FEE:
After discussion, the "ready -to -serve" approach was to be
achieved by requiring a water service contract execution
and that the turn -on fee was to be scaled so that capital
costs of continuing fire suppression benefits are paid by
that charge.
4. CAPITALIZATION CHARGE: A schedule of capitalization
fees is to be prepared by staff for presentation. The goal
of this change is to equalize fees for later
developing property. Revenues from the increased charge
were estimated at $100,000.
5. RATE METHODOLOGY: Staff had provided sample rates
for several appproaches to the rate structure. Several
approaches were discussed and the "Weighted User" basis
was selected as the preferred alternative.
With these decisions made, the Mayor directed the staff to
make the necessary calculations to determine a rate, and
to prepare resolutions, ordinances and contracts as
required to effect these actions for the Council's action.
V. EXECUTIVE SESSION, GOLF PRO CONTRACT

Mr. Hoss for the 1992 season by $2000, increasing the fee
to $34,500. Wallace seconded and the motion carried
unanimously.
The Mayor directed the city Attorney to prepare an
addendum to the contract to effect this action for the
Council's approval.
