DATE: August 19, 2003
FORT COLLINS CITY COUNCIL FROM: Steve Roy
John Fischbach
SUBJECT :
First Reading of Ordinance No. 115,2003,Amending Section 2-238 of the City Code Pertaining to
the Functions of the Golf Board.
RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends adoption of the Ordinance on First Reading.
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:
The purpose of this Ordinance is to amend the functions of the Golf Board,as contained in the City
Code,to reflect the fact that it is the City Manager,rather than the City Council,who sets the annual
fees and charges at City-owned golf courses.
One of the functions of the Golf Board is to make recommendations regarding annual fees and
charges at City-owned golf courses. Section 2-238(4)of the City Code states,that the Golf Board's
recommendation in this regard is to be made to the City Council. However, in 1997, the City
Council amended the City Code to authorize the City Manager to establish these kinds of fees.
Therefore, it is appropriate to amend the functions of the Golf Board so that the Golf Board's
recommendation regarding fees is forwarded to the City Manager rather than the City Council. This
Ordinance would accomplish that change.
