MEMORANDUM
DATE: JULY 9, 1998
TO: EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR, HONORABLE CHAIRMAN AND MEMBERS OF
REDEVELOPMENT AGENCY BOARD
FROM: DAVID YRIGOYEN, REDEVELOPMENT MANA
GER
SUBJECT: PREOPENING EXPENSES AT DESERT WILLOW
MOUNTAIN VIEW COURSE
Recommendation:
That the Agency Board approve the construction maintenance costs for the Mountain View Course
in the amount of$294,887; and appropriate said amount from the Desert Willow budget fund
Background:
The staff at Desert Willow has prepared a cost for construction maintenance expenses for the
Mountain View course that is the responsibility of the Agency. These expenses are attributed to
maintaining the course during the period construction is still taking place on the golf course and
before the course is transferred to the City. Much of the cost is for labor, chemicals and fertilizer.
To date,Desert willow is maintaining eleven holes for grassing only, receiving its first hole on April
15, 1998. Many of the expenses have already taken place, therefore, the Agency would simply
reimburse the City for those costs.
The construction maintenance amount falls within the budget adopted by the Council for the south
golf course. That budget identified preopening/golf course costs in the amount of$200,000 with the
balance of$94,887 coming from the operational start-up line item of$146,000. Both the operational
start-up and preopening/golf course line items are aspects of this Desert Willow construction
Budget. Operational start-up,dealing with the maintenance of the holes as they are turned over to
the Agency and preopening costs dealing with the purchase of fertilized and chemicals needed to
maintain the course.
