16.1

PUBLIC 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.

RECOMMENDATION: It is recommended by the Recreation and Parks

Department that the Council hold a Public Hearing to discuss increasing

and adding golf fees and by resolution approve revised Bennett Valley

Golf Course Fees to supersede and replace the Bennett Valley Golf

Course Fees and requirements set forth in Resolution No.

RES-2023-007, effective on July 1, 2024, for the Bennett Valley Golf

Course.
