Home My WebLink AboutCDN 2018-02-27 Item 2B - Ordinance/Resolution - Foster Golf Course Green Fees401, City of Tukwila Allan Ekberg, Mayor INFORMATIONAL MEMORANDUM TO: Community Development & Neighborhoods Committee FROM: Rick Still, Parks & Recreation Director BY: Warren Orr, PGA Professional Foster Golf Links CC: Mayor Ekberg DATE: February 13, 2018 SUBJECT: Golf Green Fees Update ISSUE Resolution and Ordinance to amend Green Fees at Foster Golf Links. BACKGROUND Green Fees at Foster Golf Links (FGL) were last increased in 2016 by way of Resolution 1877 and are referenced in the TMC Chapter 12.12 "Foster Golf Links Fees" as adopted by Ordinance 1990. DISCUSSION To maintain proper price points, stimulate growth, and work towards revenue goals, staff is recommending an update to the green fees at FGL. Based on the survey conducted by FGL staff (attachment A), staff is proposing a modest fee increase as shown in draft Resolution (attachment B). Additionally, there are a few housekeeping revisions that need to be made to the TMC Chapter 12.12. "Foster Golf Links Fees" as well. Attachment C is the draft Ordinance that includes the updates to the TMC Chapter 12.12 and repeals the existing Ordinance 1990. FINANCIAL IMPACT If play in 2018 were equal to the average for the past two years (2016-2017), it is anticipated that the green fees increase would yield an estimated $40,000 in additional revenue to meet the targeted revenue. RECOMMENDATION The Council Committee is being asked to consider forwarding this item to the Consent Agenda at the March 5, 2018 Regular Meeting. ATTACHMENTS A. 2018 Green Fees Survey B.
