CC: Mayor Ekberg
DATE: December 4, 2019
SUBJECT: Golf Green Fees Update
ISSUE
Resolution and Ordinance to modify setting of Green Fee at Foster Golf Links.
Community Development & Neighborhoods Committee
Allan Ekberg, Mayor
BACKGROUND
Green fees are the major source of revenue for operating, maintaining and making capital
improvements at the City of Tukwila owned Foster Golf Links. Green Fees at Foster Golf Links
were last increased in 2018 by way of Resolution 1926 and are referenced in the TMC Chapter
12.12 "Foster Golf Links Fees" as adopted by Ordinance 2567. This is a static pricing system that
increases fees on a bi-annual frequency.
DISCUSSION
To maintain proper price points, stimulate growth, and work towards revenue goals, staff is
recommending the ability to apply dynamic pricing for golf fees at Foster Golf. The City desires
to authorize the Parks and Recreation Director to set and adjust green fees as needed,
"dynamic pricing" rather than adhering to a static fee schedule for two years. This would
become similar to the policy established for setting recreation program fees. In order to do this,
both Resolution 1926 and Ordinance 2567 will need to be repealed. Draft versions of both the
revised Resolution and Ordinance are attached.
Attachment A, the draft Resolution, repeals the existing Resolution 1926 that establishes the
static Green Fees.
Attachment B, the draft Ordinance, repeals the existing Ordinance 2567 and includes some
housekeeping and necessary updates to the TMC Chapter 12.12 "Foster Golf Links Fees" as
well. A summary of those revisions are listed below:
12.12.010 Fee Schedule
A. Fees established. The green fees shall be set by the Director of Parks and
Recreation, established by resolution of thc City Council.
B. Director's authority. The Director of Parks and Recreation is authorized to adjust
12.12.020 Residential Fee Eligibility
In order to be eligible for Residential Fees, the individual must present identification to
prove they reside within the City limits of Tukwila. Eligibility cards will be issued to qualifying

INFORMATIONAL MEMO
Page 2
12.12.050 "Weekend" Fee
A "Weekend" fee shall be established on Saturdays and Sundays from April 1st through
September apt.
12.12.060 "Winter" Fee
A "Winter" fee shall be established for all days from October November 1st through the last
day of February March. This fee shall allow all golfers (regardless of residency) to play paying
the appropriate applicable "Residential Fee."
12.12.070 Application of "Junior" "Senior" Fee
A "Senior" fee shall apply anytime to anyone 62 years old and older.
The three remaining sections all move down one number because "Senior" is inserted where
"Junior" used to be, there are no other changes.
FINANCIAL IMPACT
There is no financial impact at this time. The dynamic fee structure will assist Foster Golf Links
in staying current with the market which should increase revenues annually to keep up with
inflation.
RECOMMENDATION
The Council Committee is being asked to consider forwarding this item to the Consent Agenda at
the January 6, 2020 Regular Meeting.
