BITTER Senior Office Assistant City of Palm Desert, California PA AGENDA PACKET SECTION _ � a-) MEETING DATE in SECOND REPORT 3ESERT REDEVELOPMENT AGENCY INTEROFFICE MEMORANDUM DATE: DECEMBER 12, 1996 TO: EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR, HONORABLE CHAIRMAN AND MEMBERS OF REDEVELOPMENT AGENCY BOARD FROM: DAVE YRIGOYEN, REDEVELOPMENT MANAGER SUBJECT: DESERT WILLOW GREEN FEES Re —commendation: Approve Resolution No. establishing fees for Desert Willow Golf Course in accordance with attached Exhibit A, and providing a discount to residents of Palm Desert. . i. You have previously received a memorandum and recommendation outlining the need to establish the fees for the Desert Willow Golf Course. On December 10, 1996, the Desert Willow Committee reviewed the proposed fees' structure and approved a two-part recommendation consisting of the following: a. That the Agency Board authorize the purchase of the maintenance equipment, golf carts, and temporary clubhouse facilities impacting the net revenues for the Golf Course pro forma. b. That the fees as outlined by Staff be approved providing for a 25% discount to City residents instead of the 20% discount. Based on the Kemper pro forma for the first operational year at the 20% discount, the City would realize a net operating income of $136,731. Providing a 25% discount reduces this net operating income to $73,933. Staff provided the Committee with some alternatives that would lessen the operating impact on the budget. This was by 3 capitalizing three items: (1) the lease for the temporary clubhouse; (2) the lease for the maintenance equipment; and (3) the golf carts. All three would have reduced operating expenses and, therefore, would have provided additional net operating income to the City. After reviewing this with Agency's legal counsel, he has determined that only those things that are real property can be paid for by the Agency, and therefore, the temporary clubhouse can be capitalized. Given that, the golf cart and the equipment leases will have to remain in the operating budget and the responsibility of the Operator. Staff has accomplished a review of green fees for courses in the Valley. That review includes courses that are comparable, as well as non -comparable, for comparison purposes (see attached). Additionally for your review is a summary of Kemper's efforts for public service programs at the.Golf Course. It is Staffs desire to maintain green fees some what lower than what comparable courses are charging until the Golf Course is stabilized. The green fees must be reviewed periodically and adjusted to meet market demands. This review should include resident discounts.

O(X)62 MEMO DATE: December 12, 1996 TO: City of Palm Desert City Council Members FROM: Gregg Lindquist, General Manager Kemper Sports Management Desert Willow Golf Resort SUBJECT: Items of Public Benefit to City Palm Desert Residents and Community. The following is a list of primary benefactors and a brief explanation of programs which we at Kemper Sports Management will endeavor to foster as the management group for your golf resort. Many programs will follow these as the project matures and evolves into the ensuing golf seasons. 1. Relationship with Palm Desert High School: We anticipate being the host golf course for the high school golf teams and will hold periodic tournament space for their events. In addition, we will be structuring programs that will involve practice and instruction with your facility and our PGA staff. 2. College of the Desert: I have met with Mr. Tony Manzoni, regarding the golf management school and their programs. We anticipate formalizing a relationship that would make Desert Willow Golf Resort their pilot golf course. This would involve Desert Willow Golf Resort providing space for playing and instruction and College of the Desert providing qualified personnel for staffing requirements. A very win -win situation for both parties as well as the community. 3. Junior Golf Programs: The Kemper Lesnik Institute offers high school boys and girls the opportunity to learn the business of golf. The institute has two programs, (1) golf course operations and (2) golf course maintenance. Students are taught and tested on information they will learn, first hand, in the field by Kemper Sports Management employees. The top student in each program is awarded a $1000 scholarship for The College of the Desert. Graduates of the program receive l;EMPER special attention when applying for jobs at Kemper Sports Management LESNIK operated facilities. 0RGA.A1ZA110\ 4. Men's/Ladies Club Functions: We intend to design men's and ladies club organizations that would be available to Palm Desert residents only at an attractive annual fee which would include handicaps and formalized events/toumaments on a regular basis throughout the year.
