24-0372 116.1BVGC FeesCC- Public HearingPUBLIC HEARING - BENNETT VALLEY GOLF COURSE FEES BACKGROUND: The City owns the 150-acre Bennett Valley Golf Course (BVGC) facility including but not limited to an 18-hole golf course and driving range, pro shop, restroom, maintenance shops and yards, restaurant, bar, and event center (banquet rooms). Touchstone has operated, maintained, and managed the entire BVGC Enterprise as of July 1, 2022. As part of the Touchstone proposal and preliminary revenue budget, it was anticipated that golf fees would need to be reviewed and updated as soon as practicable and regularly to be competitive. On January 10, 2023, Council increased golf fees and eliminated the capital improvement fee per resolution RES-2023-007. This allowed Touchstone to establish updated fees closer to market rate and have flexibility with the best and highest use for all the fees collected. As part of Touchstone’s analysis of current market rates for golf fees, the need to provide additional revenue to maintain the enterprise fund increased and new fees are proposed for fiscal year 2024/2025.
