It has been three years since the last fee increase and our Golf Master Plan recommended that we increase fees in 2004. We chose not to increase fees during the 2004 season because of the course and clubhouse construction project. The new clubhouse and course improvements at Foster have met our vision and goals of major capital improvement and we feel that a reasonable fee increase is justified. The product and service at Foster Golf continues to improve, and the suggested fee increase for green fees, power carts and rental equipment are in line with other municipal courses in the region. With the major construction investment, it is vital that we meet our revenue projections each year. The golf enterprise fund is responsible to recover all expenditures as well as payoff the bond debts. It is the recommendation of the Parks and Recreation Department to approve the attached 2005 rate increase sheet. The recommendation has been discussed and approved by the Tukwila Parks Commission. attachments ~. _."=-"--~,:"",,,,,-&~---- ~_..;~-::-::.~ ~ c-_~_-:-;_- ~>~=.-~ ~~~~_~J f0ster GOLF LINKS //:i'rjl(y ,'(t (t'lJ.'l ;\1,1/: (r://::tJ 13500 Interurban Avenue South, Tukwila, WA 98168 206-242-4221 www.cLtukwila.wa.us Current Rates Summer 2005 Proposed Green Fess Regular Rates 9 Holes 18 Holes 9 Holes 18 Holes Monday - Friday 16.00 22.00 18.00 25.00 Saturday & Sunday 19.00 25.00 21.00 28.00 Seniors Rates (62 and older) 9 Holes 18 Holes 9 Holes 18 Holes Monday - Friday 14.75 17.00 15.50 20.00 Jr. Rates (17 and under) 9 Holes 18 Holes 9 Holes 18 Holes 9.50 13.50 9.50 14.00 Twilight Rates Twilight one hour before sunset Monday - Friday 8.00 9.00 Saturday & Sunday 9.00 10.50 Tukwila Resident Rates 9 Holes 18 Holes 9 Holes 18 Holes .

Cantu, CMC, City Clerk APPROVED AS TO FORM BY: Filed with the City Oerk: Passed by the City Council: Resolution Number: Office of the City Attorney 2005 Green Fees 3/18/05 Page 1 of 1 Community and Parks Committee March 1,2005 Present: Joe Duffie, Chair; Joan Hernandez, Dennis Robertson Evie Boykan, Stacy Hansen, Bruce Fletcher, Rick Still, Marty O'Brien, Dave Johnson, Rhonda Berry, Derek Speck, Lucy Lauterbach 1. Potential Chanees to Community Development Block Grant (CDBG ) Fundine Evie explained declining federal funding for CDBG as well as the high administrative cost of administering the funds have resulted in consideration of a new way of distributing funds. An inteIjurisdictional committee is considering some options now, and they will recommend a program to the County Executive. Evie explained some of the possibilities that are being discussed now. One would be to retain the status quo where those funds are allocated to cities, which then use contracts with human services agencies to provide services. Another option would have both governmental units, such as cities, and human service agencies apply to the County for funds directly A third option would be to divide the region into two sub areas: North/East King County and South King County. Allocations would be made based on a combination of population and income levels. Evie encouraged committee members to let her know of their preferred option. Information. 2. Proposed Rate Increase in Golf Fees The most recent golf course fee increase was three years ago. When asked about Foster prices compared to others around us, Marty said we're lower priced than Seattle, Kent and Auburn, but equal to (with some higher and some lower prices) than what he considers our main competitor, Maplewood. Tukwila residents get a small price discount, but they account for only 5% of the golfers. Marty noted that the national average golf rounds played is about 35,000 rounds, while Foster averages approximately 60,000 rounds. Though that number isn't as high as we experienced several years ago, it's sufficient to meet the needs of the enterprise fund. In discussing moving this item forward to COW, Dennis requested that the fees on the rate chart be clarified. Recommend rate increase to COW. 3. Golf Cart Lease Buv Proeram Carts currently used at the golf course are reaching the end of their useful life. Extensive research has been done to detennine the best replacement cart. The Club Car Precedent is the selected cart, and staff is recommending a lease/purchase option for acquisition of those carts. Recommend lease/purchase contract to COW. 4. Alcohol at the Community Center Because of repeated problems over the years, Community Center staff is recommending limiting alcoholic beverage consumption at the center be limited to beer, wine and champagne. Events where hard liquor has been allowed have, more often than not, resulted in the most damage to the rooms and the largest clean-up requirements. Though this policy is under the purview of the Parks and Recreation Director, staff wanted to make sure Council is aware of the policy. Committee members expressed agreement with the policy.
