Chair Quinn announced that comments or questions from guests or residents should be directed to

II. BUSINESSAGENDA
A. Purchase of Golf Carts
Staff is seeking Council approval to purchase 18 new EZ -GO TXT golf carts in the amount of
$62,310.00, which includes the cost of trading in 24 older carts. Cart rentals are the 2nd largest
revenue source at Foster Golf Links, and this purchase will improve the efficiency and
consistency of the fleet as well as reduce down times for carts taken out of service. The Foster
Golf Links operating budget includes a cart replacement plan funded at $63,557 for 2016. This
purchase is under budget and will enhance the customer service experience. UNANIMOUS
APPROVAL. FORWARD TO MARCH 14, 2016 SPECIAL CONSENT AGENDA.
B. Resolution: Green Fees at Foster Golf Links
Staff is seeking Council approval of a resolution that would update green fees at Foster Golf
Links, last increased in 2014 by Resolution 1822. The draft resolution proposes a $1 increase in
most categories, with no change for senior residents, juniors, or 9 hole - weekday games for
residents. Assuming 2016 usage equivalent to the last two -year average, this proposed fee
increase would yield approximately $35,000 in additional revenue. UNANIMOUS APPROVAL.
FORWARD TO MARCH 14, 2016 SPECIAL CONSENT AGENDA.
C. Briefing on Landscape /Tree Code Update
Staff updated the Committee on a plan to revise the landscaping and tree regulations in the
Municipal Code to incorporate the newest policy updates from the Comprehensive Plan and
recommendations from the Tree and Environment Advisory Committee. Work done this year
will include input from City staff stakeholders, public outreach, SEPA review, feedback from the
Tree and Environment Advisory Committee, and Planning Commission review. Final City
Council review is anticipated to be scheduled in early 2016. INFORMATION ONLY.
