Amend the Charitable Tournament Policy to have the Golf Course Committee make recommendations on use of the Golf Course by charitable organizations. BACKGROUND: The operating agreement, previously approved by the City Council, between the City and Kemper Sports Management provides for the creation of a Golf Course Committee to review the operation of the Golf Course. The agreement also specifies that two members of the City Council, the Golf Course Manager, the City Manager and others determined by the City serve on the Committee. At a previous meeting, the City Council adopted a policy for use of the Golf Course by local charitable organizations. The Committee wants to be the reviewing and recommending body with regard to requests for charitable golf tournaments with notification to the Charitable Contributions Committee upon formal action by the City Council. The following requests for charitable tournaments to be held between April 15 and December 31, 1997 are recommended for approval by the City Council: 1. Palm Desert Chamber of Commerce 2. Family YMCA of the Desert 3. Valley Crime Stoppers 4. Coachella Valley Mexican American Chamber of Commerce The following requests for charitable tournaments were considered by the Committee and not recommended for approval: 1. Desert Contractors Association Submitted application did not indicate that the organization is a charitable organization. 2. Frank Sinatra Celebrity Golf Tournament Submitted application indicates that the requested dates for this tournament are February 6 & 7, 1998 - fall outside of the dates specified by policy. At its meeting of March 18, 1997, the Desert Willow Committee reviewed the Golf Course Committee's recommendations and recommended that the green fees rates for Palm Desert residents be lowered to the following: 1. May 1 - May 31 Friday - Sunday & Holidays $35.00 May 1 - May 31 Monday - Thursday $35.00 May 1 - May 31 Twilight (after 3:00 p.m.) $35.00 June 1 - September 30 Friday - Sunday & Holidays $25.00 June 1 - September 30 Monday - Thursday $25.00 June 1 - September 30 Twilight (after 3:00 p.m.) $25.00 1 SHEILA R.

Recommended Revised Rates, Golf Course Committee - March 7, 1997 MEMORANDUM CITY OF PALM DESERT TO: CITY COUNCIL AND CITY MANAGER FROM: JOHN WOHLMUTH, ACM/DIRECTOR OF ADMINISTRATIVE SERVICES DATE: MARCH 27, 1997 SUBJECT: INFORMATION ITEM: PALM DESERT DESERT WILLOW RESIDENT CARDS Please find attached a copy of the Palm Desert Resident Card Policy. The Policy is currently being utilized by the City of Palm Desert and the Coachella Valley Recreation and Park District to provide minimum requirements for the issuance of a resident card. Initially, most of the complaints were made by owner's of properties, both residential and commercial, who are not residents of Palm Desert and were not granted cards. Currently, staff is receiving a share of complaints from those who have resident cards and are questioning whether renters should be able to obtain cards. Overall, the Policy is an adequate tool for determining Palm Desert residency and the issuance of a Desert Willow Card. There are a few concerns for future consideration by City Council. Currently, the minimum rental or lease requirement is 31 days. We have determined that many people have leases for a period of 45 or 60 days. These people rent condos (Palm Valley, Ironwood, etc)and apartments. With proof of rental through an agreement of least of 31 days or greater, they can obtain a card. The City Council may want to consider a minimum rental term of 90 or 120 days instead of 31 days. The other consideration is we do have one recreation vehicle park in the City of Palm Desert. We require that these renters provide agreements of a minimum of 31 days. The Council may wish to consider extending renting at recreational vehicle parks to 90 to 120 days. The managers of the facility indicated that they do have rental agreements at the park and many people rent recreation vehicle space for more than a month at a time. The 31 day minimum criteria was established for the following reasons: 1) The Business License Ordinance requires that any stay of 31 days or less pay Transient Occupancy Tax and any stay more than 31 days is not required to pay. 2) Most renters can prove residency from utility bills after 31 days or by obtaining a renter's agreement. • DESERT WILLOW RESIDENT CARDS In conclusion, the current cards are valid through December 31, 1997. If the City Council wishes to change this policy, staff would recommend that it consider this policy in November 97, prior to the expiration of the existing cards. 40 ► WOHLMUTH RAMON DIAZ ' DIRECTOR OF ADMIN SERVICES CITY MANAGER /dlg Policy Palm Desert Resident card The Coachella Valley Recreation and Park District has assumed responsibility for the issuance of Palm Desert Resident Cards at the Palm Desert Community Center,43-900 San Pablo Avenue,Palm Desert daily between the hours of 7 a.m. and 10 p.m. daily.
