BACKGROUND The Community Affairs and Parks Committee had a question regarding Senior Resident Weekend Golf fees for 9 and 18 hole play. Clarification was needed to distinguish if there is a separate Senior Resident, Weekend Golf fee. When reviewing the weekday versus weekend fee issue for resident seniors with the Golf Superintendent, an incorrect fee was found on the Golf Fee Resolution for the Senior 18 Hole, Resident fee. The Senior Resident fees are for weekdays only and should have "(Mon Fri)" listed after the green fee type in the resolution. There is not a Senior Resident fee specific to weekend play. Senior residents would pay the Resident fee on Saturday and Sunday. Fees have been implemented this way for several years, and the new rate change should not cause confusion or upset customers in the future. The new Senior 18 Holes, Resident fee should be $2.00 less than the Senior 18 Holes {non- resident} fee. This allows our resident seniors a nice benefit for living in the City of Tukwila. The Resolution has the Senior 18 Holes, Resident (Mon -Fri) fee listed incorrectly as $20.00 not $22.00, which is the recommended fee for 2010. As you see on the attached Resolution, the Senior Resident fees should read as follows: Senior 18 Holes, Resident (Mon -Fri) Senior 9 Holes, Resident (Mon -Fri) RECOMMENDATION W.\2010 InfoMemos \Golf Fee Resolution Correction 2- 18- 10.docx $20.00 $22.00 $15.00 Staff has contacted members of the Community Affairs and Parks Committee to inform them of this change. Staff recommends the City Council approve the Resolution setting Green Fees for the City's Foster Golf Links as amended and shown in strike through, underline format. 25 26 INFORMATIONAL MEMORANDUM Mayor Haggerton Community Affairs and Parks Committee FROM: Rick Still, Interim Parks and Recreation Director TO: DATE: February 3, 2010 SUBJECT: Foster Golf Links Green Fee Increase ISSUE Consideration of a resolution increasing the Green Fees at Foster Golf Links. BACKGROUND The Foster Golf Links 2010 revenue projection was set with a goal of reaching $1,300,000.00 in green fees sales. In order to reach our revenue projections, we will continue to offer promotions and events, increase league play and continue to implement our marketing campaign. It is the opinion of Marty O'Brien, Golf Superintendent and PGA golf professional, that we also need to increase our green fees to help achieve our 2010 revenue projection. DISCUSSION Our proposal is to increase our fees, ranging from .50 cents to $2.00, depending upon age, residency, and rounds played. The City's green fees continue to be very competitive and just under the market of the local municipal golf courses. This modest fee increase is expected to raise our green fee revenues while maintaining our fees equal to or below our local municipal competitors (Renton, Kent Auburn). The proposal to increase the 2010 green fees will assist our goal to reach our revenue projection while continuing a proper price point to stimulate growth and increased play. The Parks and Recreation Department seeks input from the Community Affairs and Parks Committee regarding the greens fee increase.
