MEMORANDUM
Date: July 27, 2016
To: Mayor and City Councilmembers
From: Johnny Hodges, Golf Board Chair
CC: Golf Board
Darin Atteberry, City Manager
Re: Recommendations Regarding the Budgeting for Outcomes for the 2017-18 Budget
The City of Ft. Collins Golf Board would like to inform the City Council that we are in full
support of Offer 14.3, the Southridge Irrigation System Replacement.
Replacing the irrigation system at Southridge Golf Course has been our top priority for several
years and we have discussed this project with the City Council in the past.
As stated in the offer narrative, the water savings is estimated to be 7 million gallons per year.
Total cost of the project is $2.5 million. We have $500,000 that was set aside in the 2014/2015
budget process. We are requesting an additional $2 million in the 2017-2018 budget cycle to
fully fund the project.
Once we pay off current bond debt issues in 2018 and 2021, we feel we will be able to generate
sufficient reserve funds for replacement of the irrigation system at City Park Nine Golf Course
which is estimated to cost $1 million.
Water conservation is a high priority for the Golf Board and we feel that funding these irrigation
systems is an excellent investment for the City of Ft. Collins.
Thank you for your consideration of this project.
Sincerely,
Johnny Hodges, Chair
City of Ft. Collins Golf Board
