TO: Mayor and Members of City Council
FROM: Larry Rice, City Manager
SUBJECT: Senior Pass Holder Golf Fees
PURPOSE
To revisit the 1992 weekend/holiday golf fee structure for
senior pass holders .
BACKGROUND
For FY92 a change in policy for senior pass holders was
initiated from playing anytime on weekends/holidays WITH a
surcharge, to playing with a larger surcharge on weekends before
3 :00 p.m. - and NO surcharge after 3:00 p.m.
Since both city golf courses are in need of considerable
rehabilitation totally supported by revenue from fees, the new
policy was designed to enhance revenues during the peak playing
time when higher fees could be reasonably expected, and provide
an alternative to senior pass holders at a reduced fee to
confine play to the less busy weekdays . In short, the change
adhered to normal market forces to even out the distribution of
play.
This policy change was met with dissatisfaction by some
Senior pass holders who pointed out their desire to have the
option to play earlier than the 3:00 p.m. weekend policy even if
it was cheaper.
Discussion with staff, the Parks and Recreation Board, the
Greens Committee and an ad-hoc committee of seniors has resulted
in a policy change proposal that combines the best elements of
the old and new policies : reinstitute a surcharge on
weekends/holidays as last year' s policy, and allow for no
surcharge after 3:00 p.m. as is this year' s policy.
FINANCIAL IMPACT
A $5 resident and $6 nonresident surcharge for senior pass
holders on weekends/holidays will maintain our revenue
projection approved with the FY92 budget.

RECOMMENDATION
It is recommended that the Mayor and City Council authorize
a modification to the 1992 golf fee structure for senior pass
holders to include a surcharge before 3:00 p.m. on weekends and
holidays, and to continue the new policy of no surcharge after
3 : 00 p.m.
