BACKGROUND INFORMATION:
A presentation regarding these proposed fee adjustments was given at the July Council Retreat and then again at the March 18, 2024, Council meeting. At these meetings, staff was given direction to move forward with implementation of the proposed fee adjustments including changes to Landa Park Golf Course fees, more specifically for Daily Green Fees and Membership Fees. The Landa Park Golf Course fees have not been amended since 2017. These adjustments represent a 10% increase and would help with the 5 - 10 year forecast of course and equipment reinvestment that is needed or could allow for a possible increase in the contribution to debt service.
If approved, the change for the Landa Park Golf Course fees will have an implementation date of June 1, 2024, with public outreach being conducted up to that date.
