Since building the new clubhouse, the golf division has experienced a 2% annual increase in rounds played and countless complimentary comments on our new facility and course improvements. The city's green fees continue to be very competitive and just under the market of the local municipal golf courses. In order to reach our revenue projections, we will continue to offer promotions and events, increase our league play and implement a new marketing campaign on KJR sports radio. It is the opinion of our PGA golf professional that we also need to increase our green fees to help achieve our 2008 revenue projection. Our proposal is to increase our 18 hole rates by $1.00 and our 9 hole rates by $2.00. Our Junior rates will not be increased. This modest fee increase is expected to raise our green fee revenue while maintaining our fees equal to or below our local municipal competitors (Renton, Kent Auburn). The proposal to increase the 2008 green fees will assist our goal to reach our revenue projection while continue a proper price point to stimulate growth and increased play. It is the recommendation of the Parks Recreation Department to approve the following Foster Golf Links green fee increase. Attachments: a. Proposed 2008 Green Fee Increase b.

PRESENTATIONS No presentations. H. BUSINESS AGENDA 3.-- -A. Foster Golf Course Fee Increase Staff is requesting full Council approval of a resolution to increase green fees at Foster Golf Links. The draft resolution proposes a $1.00 increase in weekday 18 -hole rates and weekend 9 -hole rates; and a $2.00 increase in weekend 18 -hole rates and weekday 9 -hole rates. No increases are proposed for junior rates or cart rentals. Staff mentioned that a KJR Sports Radio marketing campaign highlighting Foster Golf Links will begin next month. The last fee increase at Foster Golf Links was in 2007 when Council approved a $1.00 increase to the 18- hole weekday rate and $2.00 increase to the 18 -hole weekend rate. Senior rates and 9 -hole fees were not increased at that time. The 2008 green fee increase is proposed in order to assist in reaching revenue projections. This minimal increase will maintain Foster Golf Links fees equal to or below local municipal competitors such as Renton, Kent and Auburn. Staff is requesting this item move directly to the March 17 Regular meeting due to the intended cancellation of the March 10 COW. The Committee agreed to this request. UNANIMOUS APPROVAL. FORWARD TO MARCH 17 REGULAR MEETING. III.
