Nays: None. ITHE MOTION CARRIED. March 3, 1981 ' Resolution Adopted Revising 1981 Membership Fee Rates for Collindale and City Park Nine Golf Courses and Adopting a Policy Concerning Non-resident Membership Following is the City Manager's memorandum on this item: "City Council, at its meeting of November 18, 1980, passed and adopted Resolution 80-145, establishing and revising fees to be charged at Munici- pal Golf Courses for 1981. In the Agenda Item Summary Report to Council at that time, it was stated that the Golf Advisory Board did not recommend that membership fees be increased over 1980 levels due to the large percen- tage increase that occurred from the previous year. However, the Board said it "...would like to reserve the right to recommend membership fee increases for 1981 if the end -of -the -year financial picture did not show necessary revenues. A recommendation would probably be made to Council in February..." The Golf Advisory Board, at its regular meeting of February 18, 1981, reviewed and discussed the financial status of the Golf Fund. There was , much concern for the ability of the fund to continue to maintain a 'profit' in order to operate the courses to our standards. The bad weather condi- tions of late 1979 and early 1980 helped deplete the reserves to a very low level. Therefore, in order to moderately increase our revenues, the Golf Advisory Board unanimously voted to recommend that all categories of membership fees be increased by $20, except Senior Citizens and Junior membership fees, which would be increased by $10. This new rate structure should go into effect immediately upon passage of the Resolution by Council, and will apply to all those who purchase go1F memberships after the effective date (March 4, 1981). For your information, annual memberships run from April 1 to March 31, and most memberships are sold in March, April and May. NON-RESIDENT POLICY: As of July 2, 1980, a non-resident fee was established for daily greens fee players only. A fee of $1.00 per each 9 holes of golf for those users not having a Fort Collins address is charged. There was no increase or re- strictions placed upon non-resident membership players when the policy was adopted. The Golf Advisory Board reviewed this policy, .and felt the equity of the issue was not fair. Some form of excess charge or restriction should be placed on non-resident memberships. Staff informed the Board that the City ' -69 ]0 March 3, 1981 of Greeley doubled membership fees for non-residents in 1981, and the City of Loveland recently voted to restrict memberships to Loveland and Thompson Valley R2-J School District residents only. After much consideration and discussion, the Board voted 5:1 to recommend that all memberships be limited to Fort Collins residents only (the same definition that applies to green fee players), but to "grandfather in" all those members who are non-residents who purchased a membership in 1980 or 1981, with the understanding that if they drop or do not renew their membership, they will forever lose the ability to purchase a membership as long as they are a non-resident. All non-residents are to pay green fees, if they desire to golf in Fort Collins, which includes the additional non-resident fee. The Board recommends that this non-resident membership policy go into effect immediately upon passage of the Resolution by Council, and will apply to all those who desire to purchase golf memberships after the effective date (March 4, 1981)." Councilman St. Croix made a motion, seconded by Councilman Wilkinson, to adopt this Resolution. Yeas: Councilmembers Bowling, Gray, St. Croix, and Wilkinson. Nays: None. THE MOTION CARRIED. Industrial Development Revenue Bonds Policy Guidelines, Approved Following is the City Manager's memorandum on this item: "Attached is a redraft of the IDRB's Policy and Guidelines statement which considers comments made by Council and staff at the Work Session. - The format has been changed to differentiate policies from guidelines. - It allows the use of IDRB's for non-profit entities when their services or products do not compete with private enterprise. - It removes the phrases relating to targeting general geographic areas or specific programs. - It addresses the inequity between public offerings and private placement financial responsibility guidelines by 38 '7I March 3, 1981 requiring more stringent financial ratios for public offerings and by increasing the amount of debt to ap- praised value for private placement from 80% to 90%." Councilman Wilkinson made a motion, seconded by Councilman Bowling, to approve the Industrial Development Revenue Bonds Policy Guidelines. Yeas: Councilmembers Bowling, Gray, St. Croix, and Wilkinson. Nays: None. THE MOTION CARRIED. Resolution Adopted, As Amended, Directing Staff to Prepare a Grant Proposal to UMTA for Replacement of Transfort Buses Following is the City Manager's memorandum on this item: "At a Work Session on February 24th, Council agreed that City staff should prepare a grant proposal for replacement of Transfort's aging Mercedes buses to the Urban Mass Transit Administration (UMTA). This Resolution directs staff to prepare that grant proposal. Additionally, recognizing that some sort of combination of services arrangement between Transfort and Care -A -Van is still possible, the Resolution authorizes staff to seek UMTA Section 4i funds (innovation in transportation) that could be used to facilitate a future combination of services arrangement." Councilman Wilkinson made a motion, amend the Resolution by deleting the Resolution and to change the number number of buses to be replaced. Yeas: and Wilkinson. Nays: Mayor Gray.
