SUBJECT: Council Agenda, May 26,1988
ITEM: 9D. Consider a resolution authorizing the expenditure of up to
$15,000.00 for a golf course architect.
STAFF RESOURCE PERSON: Bob Bennett /Sam Huey
STAFF RECOMMENDATION: We want to retain a golf course architect in order
to keep the golf course site selection and development
program on schedule. This expenditure will be
reimbursable from the golf course financing package.
We are still on an August construction schedule.
The golf course committee has decided to interview
5 golf course architects. Council will take formal
action to retain the architect and Council will
make the decision about which of 5 golf course
sites to select. I realize that we are proceeding
in a quick manner and believe that we have set
up a process that will keep the Citys exposure
to a minimum. The architect will not be formally
engaged until we have a particular site or two
nailed down. If no golf course decision is made
this summer, the City may have to wait until next
year. As part of the interview process, the
architects will provide valuable information about
the specific sites the City is considering.
$15,000.00 and no more for an architect to perform
preliminary and master plan design work on a golf
course. Final expenditure and selection will be
made by the Council..
ECONOMIC IMPACT:
. a
NOTE: The golf course selection and construction
program is fluid and subject to change.
We are attempting to move quickly while
minimizing City exposure. We are considering
as many financing options as possible without
requiring an obligation of the City tax
payers. Please call me or Sam if you desire
more detailed information. We are very
close to having a golf course for our
community.
