Subject: Golf Professional Contract
PURPOSE:
To request the City Council's approval of the Golf
Professional's contract.
474 BACKGROUND:

with a one-year contract.

the Golf Professional, relative to the maintenance of the
courses, but rather to the Director of Parks and Recreation.
The Golf Professional would, however, remain responsible for the
other aspects of the division.
The per annum base rate is increased 5% from $40,000 to
$42,000.
FINANCIAL IMPACT:
The per annum base rate of $42,000 has been budgeted for
