Due to poor weather, a suffering economy, and increased play options, revenue goals will not be accomplished. DISCUSSION In 2011 it is anticipated that golf fees will reach approximately 85% of the proiected revenue or $1.020,000. If the same rounds are obtained as in 2011, it is anticipated that approximately $49,000 in additional revenue will be reached in 2012 from the recommended golf fees increase. These proiected numbers are consistent with the Attachment G that has been presented and discussed at this vear's special budaet meetinas. In order to move towards meeting revenue goals staff will continue to offer promotions and develop creative ways to increase play. To maintain proper price points, stimulate growth and work towards revenue goals fees should be increased. The Parks and Recreation Department seeks input from the Community Affairs and Parks Committee regarding the greens fee increase. RECOMMENDATION It is the recommendation of the Parks Recreation Department that the Council consider this item at the November 14, 2011 Committee of the Whole Meeting and subsequent November 21, 2011 Regular Meeting.

Parks Recreation Events Calendar As an information only item, Committee Members reviewed the Parks Recreation calendar for November and December. INFORMATION ONLY. B. P INN 11" Resolution: Foster Golf Links Green Fees Staff is requesting Council approval of a resolution to increase green fees at Foster Golf Links. The draft resolution proposes a $1.00 in each category with the exception of Junior and Twilight green fees increases. The last fee increase at Foster Golf Links was in 2010 when Council approved increases across the board from $0.50 to $2.00. This green fee increase is anticipated to raise revenue by approximately $45,000, and will be implemented immediately upon Council passage. UNANIMOUS APPROVAL. FORWARD TO NOVEMBER 14 COW FOR DISCUSSION. C. Permit Tracking Svstem Replacement Staff is seeking Council approval for a 2011 -12 Budget Amendment for approximately $175,000 which will allow staff to contract a consultant and make initial payments for a new permit tracking system that will replace the current Permits Plus program by Accela. The vendor for Permits Plus is phasing out the software program. City staff has known this for some time and had planned accordingly; however, this was an item removed from the budget during cuts over the past several years. After implementation of an interdepartmental committee to assess permitting software options, and review of information provided by the eCityGov Alliance, staff is recommending moving forward with a new computerized permit tracking system that will improve communications, support citizen interaction and link staff reports and other necessities such as pictures. Staff is hopeful that potential assessment of a technology fee to each permit application will eventually pay for the new system over a 4 -7 year timeframe making this purchase revenue neutral after a set payback period. Regardless of the permitting software chosen, implementation and migration will require a financial investment and a significant amount of staff time. Although a software vendor has not yet been chosen, initial costs in 2012 are anticipated to be approximately $175,000, with an additional $150,000 in 2013. Annual maintenance costs, if any, are not yet known. Currently, the City pays an annual fee of $45,000 to Permits Plus for maintenance, and costs have increased on an average of 10% per year. UNANIMOUS APPROVAL. FORWARD TO NOVEMBER 14 COW FOR DISCUSSION. 193 194
