Award of Collindale Snack Bar Concession
Jerry P. Brown distributed the report from the Collindale Concession Review
Committee to board members. The committee was composed of six people. They
were Nan Rubin, Collindale Woman's Golf Association President; Jeff Boulter,
Collindale Men's Golf Association President; Board Members Eileen Banks and
Dan Preble; Opal Dick from Purchasing; and Jerry P. Brown from Parks and
Recreation. The committee originally met in October to formulate the process
for the snack bar Request for Proposals (RFP's).
Purchasing mailed RFP packets in mid -December. Newspaper stories and ads
appeared in both the TRIANGLE REVIEW and COLORADOAN several times. We also
mailed letters to every restaurant in Fort Collins. On January 4, there was a
pre -proposal meeting at Collindale and approximately 15 people attended. Nine
sealed proposals were received by Purchasing, and opened at 10:00 a.m. on
January 11. The committee members then individually reviewed each proposal,
and separately rated the proposals using total points. Each member provided
their independent total to Purchasing, where they computed the results and
determined the proposals with the highest four combined scores. These top
four were then interviewed by the committee on January 21.
Each of the four finalists had 30 minutes to
explain their proposal. After the interviews

Board members discussed the recommendation, and then, on a motion by Al
Cavallaro, seconded by Tom Skillman, voted unanimously (7:0) to recommend to
the Director of Parks and Recreation, Purchasing Agent, and City Manager, the
award to Derek Cordova.
Implementation of The Smoking Ordinance
Board members read the information provided by staff. Jerry addressed some
general thoughts and comments. It was agreed that for now, smoking areas
would be designated at the Collindale Clubhouse in the southwest corner near
the television set, and at the City Park Nine Clubhouse in the southeast
corner, also near the television set. If there are problems, we can
investigate venting. We will continually monitor the situation once the
season starts around April.
Board Goals for Junior Golf
Al Cavallaro and Dan Preble serve as the Junior Golf Subcommittee. Al did
some research and distributed a document prepared by Mike Williams of Hyland
Hills (Greeley) about their Junior Golf Program. They have a more advanced
program than Fort Collins, according to Al. He also has solicited businesses
and organizations to financially support a program for trophies and
promotional competitive tournaments.
Jerry reminded the board that no matter what program we develop, that the Golf
Fund will not suffer financially. Someone will pay, and fees will not be
waived. Also, whatever we do, we must remember that we have agreements with
the two golf professionals, and they should be consulted and should concur as
to our program. Jerry said that the goals of youth sports in Fort Collins
stressed learning and participation rather than competition. No awards or
trophies are given for any other youth sports. He suggested that the
committee work with the youth sports staff of the Recreation Division.
The Golf Board will take steps to get various organizations involved, such as
the men's and women's associations. Al and Dan will continue to gather
information and data, and there will be further discussion at the next board
meeting.
Other Business
- Eileen Banks mentioned that during the interview process for
the Collindale Snack Bar, and after reading through all of the pro-
posals, it became obvious that there is a need to upgrade the beverage
concession to include wine as well as beer. Most women golfers prefer
wine, and with the new competition from South Ridge, we should consider
the possibility of expanding our service. Jerry talked about the
potential changes in the Colorado Liquor laws, and said he would

further investigate.
- Jerry discussed the new golf scorecards/yardcards prepared by Par Pal
of Fort Collins. Next time we do cards we will reduce or eliminate
the picture of Greg Norman and enlarge the rules and golf etiquette.
- Jerry discussed the December financial and statistical reports. We ended
the year with 97 percent operating revenue and 100 percent total fund
revenue, for a grand total of $569,411.10 received. All expenditures
totalled $545,179 as of December 31, which equalled 96.5 percent of
the budgeted amount. The number of golf rounds was down 10,000 over
the previous three years to 81,816. Bad spring and late fall weather,
and the opening of South Ridge were the main impacts.
The meeting was adjourned at 9:18 p.m.
