Mullet, Mayor -her` me cP U./ Bruce Parks Recreation Department Bruce Fletcher, Director At 11, 1 MEMORANDUM TO: Mayor Mullet Community Affairs Parks Committee v n FROM: Bruce Fletcher, Director of Parks Recreation Marty O'Brien, Golf Manager DATE: March 22, 2007 SUBJECT: Foster Golf Green Fee Increase The Foster Golf Links 2007 revenue projection was set with an aggressive goal of reaching $1,250,000.00 in green fee sales. 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. Since we have not had a green fee increase since the 2005 season, it is also the recommendation of our PGA golf professional to adjust the fees for our upcoming season. Our proposal is to increase the 18 -hole weekday and weekend fee by $2.00. This modest fee increase is expected to raise our green fee revenue an additional $80,500.00 while maintaining our fees equal to or below our local municipal competitors (Renton, Kent Auburn). After serious consideration, it was decided not to increase our senior rates or our 9 -hole green fees. The proposal to increase the 2007 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 2007 Green Fee Increase b.

INFORMATION ONLY. F. Golf Course Green Fees Marty O'Brien, Foster Golf Manager, has proposed increasing the 18 -hole weekday and weekend green fees by $2.00. With an aggressive goal of reaching $1,250,000.00 in green fee sales, Mr. O'Brien feels that a minor increase is needed. He explained that a new marketing campaign is forthcoming and expects an increase in league play and tournaments for the upcoming season. The new fees are still very competitive and just under the market of the other local municipal golf courses. Committee members asked about the upcoming marketing campaign and made a request to see a preview at the next COW meeting. It is the recommendation of the Parks and Recreation Department to approve the green fee increase (last increase was in 2005). FORWARD TO APRIL 9 COW. G. Macadam Winter Garden Update Rick Still, Deputy Director of Parks and Recreation informed the committee of the re- scoping of the Macadam Winter Garden Park. The design changes include a smaller park that will stay out of the wetland buffer area, building a smaller pond, exclude archways and scale down the entry structure. It is the hope that the modifications will allow bids within the 2007 CIP budget. The committee suggested keeping the balance of the project in the 2008 CIP as an unfunded project, while additional funding is acquired for the cut items in future years. The Macadam Winter Garden bids are expected to be due April 27 with a June 1 construction start date. INFORMATION ONLY. III. ANNOUNCEMENTS IV.
