other courses in the community, and Commissioner Bird explained <br />that the fees the Chairman is referring to were suggested by the <br />National Golf Foundation two years ago. He also felt the figures <br />he is quoting were based on figures OMB Director Baird did based <br />on a straight-line fee projection over five years. The Commis- <br />sion will establish the fees based on recommendations by staff, <br />and Commissioner Bird did believe they initially will be somewhat <br />higher than those projected two years ago. <br />Commissioner Wheeler asked how many rounds are played on <br />other golf courses in the county,- and Chairman Scurlock advised <br />that Sebastian anticipated 51,000 rounds this year. Based on <br />60,000 rounds at the proposed rate, we still would lose money, <br />but if the fees were raised $3.00 we could gain $180,000. <br />Director Thomas commented that when he says he has no <br />alternatives, if he is instructed by the Board to borrow money, <br />he can do that very quickly, but he has had no such instruction. <br />Chairman Scurlock stressed that he has always felt the <br />course should be self-supporting. It will not be in the first 30 <br />months, and with the proposed rate structure, he did not. believe <br />it will be in the first five years. He did anticipate some <br />subsidization which can be paid back at some time. <br />Director Thomas understood one alternative was to -put up a <br />temporary clubhouse, and he advised that he has been working on <br />that. There is an additional premanufactured facility that is <br />available, but he definitely needs some instruction. <br />Commissioner Eggert had the impression we were going to hear <br />about what the cost of moving a temporary facility might be and <br />also what possible money sources there might be. <br />Administrator Balczun suggested that we schedule staff re- <br />commendations re rate structure as well as a temporary or _ - <br />permanent clubhouse facility for two weeks from today. <br />Commissioner Bird agreed and noted that, in addition, he <br />would like to recommendations about how we get the money and how <br />we pay it back. <br />45 BOOK 66 o , 56 <br />DEC 2 1986 <br />
