CITY OF SAN LUIS O B 1 S P 0
FROM: Betsy Kiser, Director of Parks and Recreation
SUBJECT: LAGUNA LAKE GOLF COURSE FUND RATE REVIEW
CAO RECOMMENDATION
As recommended by the Parks and Recreation Commission:
1. Review and accept the 2006 annual golf fund financial and rate review;
2. Conceptually approve the proposed operating program changes and capital improvement plan
requests contained in the 2005-07 Financial Plan Supplement, pending final review and
adoption on June 20, 2006;
3. Authorize General Fund operating transfers of$293,200 for 2005-06 and $314,600 for 2006-
07; and
4. Adopt a resolution approving the following fee increases effective July 1, 2006:
a) $0.25 per round rate
b) $1.00 in twilight rate
c) $5.00 to the general 10-play card rate
DISCUSSION
Assumptions
1. Although overall the golf industry on the Central Coast continues to be in a downturn, the
small 9-hole courses appear to be fairly stable. In fact, revenue at the Laguna Lake Golf
Course has been increasing annually since 2003-04, due in large part to the successful
implementation of a variety of promotions and new course services and programs such as
golf cart rentals and the First Tee program, and the addition of revenue generated from a
cellular phone site lease at the golf course. The additional amenities, plus the improved
appearance of the course have also encouraged a wider age range of clientele to use the
course, resulting in additional rounds of golf played. As of the end of April, 2006, 2,000
more rounds of golf had been played on the course than for the same period of 2004-05. This
increase is expected to continue based on trends.
2. Consistent with the increased number of rounds played, the improved conditions of the
course, and market price increases, the costs associated with general maintenance of the
course, i.e. fertilizer, insecticides/herbicides, operating materials and supplies, sand and
gravel, trees and shrubs have also increased. Once adjusted, these costs should stabilize and
only increase in future years by the cost of living adjustment.

3. Operating program expenditures are anticipated to increase by 3%D annually, beginning in FY
2007-08 when the course marshal program will be discontinued (see Attachment 3 for
discussion of course marshal needs).
4. Beginning FY 2007-08 through FY 2009-10, $5,000 will be needed annually to replace aging
golf carts.
5. Cell tower lease revenue will increase by $25,000 in 2007-08 for a second tower lease. Other
revenues are projected to increase by 3% each year beginning in FY 2007-08.
6. For the past two years, green fees for Laguna Lake Golf Course have been kept stable,
primarily because of the condition of the golf industry. Staff believes that based on the
increasing use of the course, and the public's satisfaction with the conditions of the course,
the climate is appropriate at this time for a rate increase.
Rate Review Obiectives
The objective of the rate review is to establish a fee schedule that maximizes revenue and ensures
the continued operation of a safe, attractive and reasonably priced course with an emphasis on
senior and youth services. The 2006 Laguna Lake Golf Course fund analysis confirms the need
for a rate increase to enable the City to continue to meet these objectives (see Attachment 1). The
changes in rates recommended at this time are noted below:
LAGUNA LAKE GOLF COURSE FEES
Current Proposed Proposed
Current 2 I 9-holes Rates 2nd 9-holes
Rates
Senior/Youth/Student Weekdays: $6.50 $4.50 $6.75 $4.50
General Weekdays: $8.50 $4.50 $8.75 $4.50
Senior/Youth/Student Weekends: $7.50 $4.50 $7.75 $4.50
General Weekends: $9.50 $4.50 $9.75 $4:50
Senior/Youth/Student 10-Play $60.00 $60.00
Card:
General 10-Play Card: $70.00 $75.00
Twilight Rate: $5.00 $6.00
The proposed $0.25 per round increase applies directly to green fees. Also being recommended
at this time is an increase of$5.00 for the 10-play card for general play (to make the 10-play card
discount more equitable between seniors and the general user) and a $1.00 increase for twilight
play, with all other fees associated with golf play remaining the same, including the 10-play card
for seniors. The proposed fee increases will yield an additional $15,000 annually if equivalent
rounds of golf are played as in 2004-05 and will provide the funds needed to maintain the course
at its current, inviting and appealing condition.

Golf Fund Rate Review Page 3
If approved, the increase will set fees for seniors and general play at Laguna Lake Golf Course
that are equal to fees at the LeSage Golf Course in Pismo Beach but still significantly less than
Sea Pines in Los Osos.
Capital Improvement Project and Significant Operating Program Changes
A Capital Improvement Project (CIP) and two Significant Operating Program Change (SOPC)
requests have been submitted as part of the 2006-07 budget review to address safety concerns
and ongoing costs associated with operating the golf course. These submittals are discussed
below:
1. Hole#3 Relocation. A CIP is being proposed to construct a new 4,500 square foot golf green
to replace the existing hole#3, thereby reducing the number of incidents of golf balls hitting
residences in the neighborhood adjacent to the hole #3 green. The project will cost $60,000
(see Attachment 2).
I. Temporary Staffing for Course Marshals. It will take 18 months to complete the relocation
and renovation of hole#3. An SOPC is being submitted to hire temporary course marshals to
provide additional security and monitor the activity at hole #3 during suspected problem
times until the relocation is complete (at which time the program will be discontinued). The
course marshal will provide other needed golf course services, too, as further described in the
attachment. The cost of providing a year-round course marshal is $15,700 (see Attachment
3).
3. Line Item Adjustments. To meet the ongoing cost of operating the golf course, a significant
operating program change request for $34,400 is being submitted to address funding
deficiencies in golf cart maintenance and other operating expenses. A corresponding increase
of$31,000 in revenues is expected to offset all but $3,400 of the request (see Attachment 4).
Future Capital Improvement Proiect Needs
Future Capital Improvement projects include the following:
1. FY 07-08. Replacement of the roof on the clubhouse ($25,000) and purchase of golf course
software ($35,000).
2. FY 08709. Development of a Golf Course Master Plan ($25,000).
CONCURRENCES
The Parks and Recreation Commission reviewed the Laguna Lake Golf Course Rate Review at a
special meeting on May 22, 2006 and concurred with the assumptions and projections (see
Attachment 5).

FISCAL IMPACT
The following are the proposed operating transfers from the General Fund for 2005-2006 and
2006-2007:
Year Proposed
2005-2006 $293,200
2006-2007 $314,600
The proposed General Fund transfers are higher than prior projections due to increased operating
costs at the course and the addition of unanticipated capital improvement projects. After 2006-
07, these costs are expected to level out with the additional lease revenue and the discontinuation
of the course marshal program.

HOLE#3 RELOCATION-LAGUNA LAKE GOLF COURSE
CIP Project Summary
To relocate the tee and green on hole#3 at Laguna Lake Golf Course to improve neighborhood safety and reduce
the ongoing maintenance requirements of that hole will cost of$60,000 for FY 2006-07.
Project Objectives
1. Construct a new 4,500 square foot golf green to USGA specifications, including new sprinkler heads,
irrigation pipes and fittings. Improvements would include fairway over seeding, tee relocation and possible
addition of bunkers.
2. Reduce the number of incidents of golf balls hitting residences within 100 yards of the Hole#3 green.
3. Reduce amount of hand watering on greens by lowering and leveling green heights.
Existing Situation
Laguna Lake Golf Course hole#3 is 123 yards in length and 1,500 square feet in size. Residences are as close as
25 yards from the green and are being adversely affected by the number of golf balls being hit into adjacent back
yards, over homes and into front yards and residences across the street from these homes. Those living adjacent
to the #3 green are reporting 5-10 golf balls per day entering their yards. Neighborhood concerns are growing
over miss hit balls, particularly the fear of a ball hitting children playing in their own front and back yards and on
the street. Neighbors have approached the Parks & Recreation Department and given public comment to the
Parks & Recreation Commission, supporting efforts to improve conditions at Laguna Lake Golf Course (LLGC).
Staff has reduced the pruning of the trees near the green in order to maintain a natural barrier for nearby homes,
but this has had minimal impact.in deterring the problem.
Reasons for the increase in errant balls seem to be related to an increase in participation over the past six to eight
months by a younger, stronger group of golfers. During this time, residents have reported an increase in the
number of balls being hit into their yards, and in particular during twilight and weekend play. Often, golfers over-
swing or choose a club that will cause the ball to sail into yards and over homes.
A temporary measure to address the safety issue and bring golfer awareness to the problem has been to assign a
course marshal to hole #3 during suspected problem times. The marshal is charged with educating golfers about
keeping the ball in play. This mitigating measure is not designed to be a permanent solution to the problem, but
rather to assist in reducing the number of balls leaving the course until a more permanent solution is found. The
cost of providing a year-round marshal is $15,700.
The project entails building and relocating a 4,500 square foot green and tee that meets USGA specifications, and
moves the hole 75-.100 yards from its current location. This will create a 100-125 yard buffer zone behind the
green and between the homes,making it less likely golfers will overshoot the hole.
In addition to resolving the miss hit ball complaints, rebuilding the green will also reduce the ongoing
maintenance requirements for the hole. Currently the#3 green is elevated and slopes away from the center line,
causing irrigation water to run off rather than soak in the soil. To counteract this effect, the green often has to be
hand watered, especially during the drier months, to maintain the integrity of the green for the golfers. The

replacement green will be leveled and sloped to allow for better retention of the water, thus freeing-up staff from
hand watering maintenance tasks..
An architect with experience in designing golf courses and addressing liability issues will be used to design the
hole. Project work will be accomplished by a contractor licensed to build USGA greens. Staff believes that hole
#3 will remain in play until the relocation is complete with minimum disruption to play and revenues.
Goal and Policy Links
Parks&Recreation Element:
1. 1.32.2 Recreation services shall enhance the quality of life in San Luis Obispo and meet the changing needs
of residents.
2. 1.33.1 Recreation services will be operated in a manner that is environmentally sensitive and that conserves
natural resources.
Project Work Completed
Golf Course staff has investigated the scope of work required for accomplishing the project and identified a
location for tee and green#3 that would be further away from the affected neighbors.
Other Special Review Considerations
Neighbors adjacent to hole#3 at Laguna Lake Golf Course have contacted staff and made public comment to the
Parks & Recreation Commission and City Council requesting that the City take action to improve the situation
with errant golf balls. Concerns are high regarding the safety of neighborhood children who are playing nearby
while golf activity is underway.

Alternatives
1. Deny or Defer the Project. Golf balls will continue to be hit errantly into adjacent yards and over homes, and
concerns will continue to grow over the safety of residents and their children. Course marshals will continue
to be needed to provide appropriate oversight to hole#3.
2. Change the Scope of the Project. The golf course staff could construct the new hole rather than using
contracted labor. It is anticipated that to complete relocation work would take approximately 18 months and
would keep them from performing their daily maintenance duties.
Operating Program
Parks & Recreation-Golf Course
Project Effect on the Operating Budget
1. The following resources will be required to complete this project:
Requesting Department. If the work to be done is contracted out, the effect on Golf Course staff will be
20-40 hours for project oversight. Should the work be performed by the Golf Course staff, approximately
120-200 hours of staff time will be needed to perform the work over an 18 month period.
2. Maintenance Costs: There should be no change in the level of maintenance when the new green is in place
with the exception of amount of hand watering that may be needed; scope is yet to be determined.
3. Cost Savings: If the new green requires less water, there will be an associated cost savings on water usage
costs. If hand watering is reduced, maintenance time will be diverted to other tasks around the golf course.

GOLF COURSE TEMPORARY STAFFING FOR COURSE MARSHALS
Request Summary
Increasing Temporary Salaries and associated benefits in the Golf Course Enterprise Fund for hiring of course
marshals at hole #3 will improve neighborhood safety to nearby homes; provide other course services, and will
cost$15,700 in 2006-07.
Key Objectives
1. Provide additional security to prevent damage to homes adjacent to hole #3 from errant golf balls until the
completion of the CIP to relocate the tee and green at hole#3.
2. Reduce the City's liability and associated costs resulting from damage to homes adjacent to hole#3.
3. Eliminate the course marshal program at the completion of the reconstruction and realignment of hole#3.
Factors Driving the Request for Change
1. Traditionally, the largest percentage of golfers frequenting the course has been senior-aged golfers. As a
result of continuing efforts by staff to make the course financially viable, successful marketing and improved
course amenities have attracted a diversified population to Laguna Lake Golf Course, in particular the young
college age golfer. The increase in college age golfers is resulting in increased rounds of golf and an increase
in revenue; however the younger, stronger golfers are capable of driving the balls farther and higher. This
has had a significant impact on hole#3. Hole#3 is aligned in such a way that the prevailing winds carry the
balls directly toward the homes bordering the course. This coupled with the strength of the young golfers
and (in some instances) a lack of adequate technical skills, is increasing the frequency of the balls entering
properties at the neighboring homes. Residents adjacent to the hole have reported that 5-10 balls weekly
enter the residential property and they are concerned for the safety of their families and the protection of their
properties.
2. A corresponding CIP request is being submitted to relocate the tee and green at hole#3 to reduce(or prevent)
the occurrence of errant balls. If approved, it will take a full 18 months before the hole is playable. Placing a
course marshal near hole #3 is being recommended as a temporary measure to address the safety issues and
bring golfer awareness to the problem The marshal is charged with educating golfers about keeping the ball
in play. This mitigating measure is not designed to be a permanent solution to the problem, but rather to
assist in reducing the number of balls leaving the course until hole#3 is rebuilt.
3. In order to reduce immediate health and safety issues to neighboring homes at hole #3, course marshals are
being hired during FY 2005-06. The course marshals will work from mid-afternoon until closing on
weekdays and all day on weekends and holidays, for an average of 36 hours per week. In addition to
monitoring the activity at hole #3, the marshals are trained in CPR and AED use and will be able to serve as
fust responders. Additionally course marshal duties will extend to include filling divots at all tees, collect
litter, fill ball marks on all greens, assist with end of day storage and charging of batteries for golf carts,
respond to problems occurring throughout the course when contacted by the pro shop attendant, and provide
security escort for the pro shop attendant at the end of the day. Salary savings are being used to fund the
hiring of the marshals for the initial 2 months of the program, but these savings will be inadequate to sustain
a full year program.

Alternatives
Do not fund and implement the course marshal program. Residential property owners adjacent to hole#3 have
increased their communications with staff and Council regarding the escalating incidences of golf balls ending up
in their yards. Not funding the temporary marshal program will allow the incidences of errant balls to continue
unabated,thus impacting the health and safety of the neighborhood.

GOLF COURSE ENTERPRISE LINE ITEM ADJUSTMENTS
Request Summary
Increasing funding in Golf program operations by $34,400 will have a net operating cost of$3,400 in FY 2006-
07.
Key Objectives
1. Provide adequate funding to meet the increasing operational costs associated with maintaining the golf course
as an inviting facility,resulting in increased rounds of golf and revenue.
2. Provide adequate funding associated with maintaining golf carts, which provide access to the course for older
and disabled golfers, resulting in increased revenues from additional rounds of golf and golf cart rentals.
3. Provide adequate funding for City water used to maintain the golf course in an inviting and appealing
manner.
4. Provide adequate funding for the purchase of goods sold in the Golf Course Pro Shop which will return 120%
of the funding requested.
Factors Driving the Request for Change.
1. Operating a viable and revenue generating Golf Course is impacted by the appearance of and ease of use of
the course. As a result of escalating costs associated with chemicals, enhanced maintenance of the course,
and expenses associated with the golf cart rental program, additional funding is needed to satisfy the
associated expenses to achieve a successful golf operation. Expenses in fertilisers, insecticides &herbicides,
operating materials & supplies, sand & gravel, trees, shrubs and nursery stock, have exceeded budgeted
amounts. As a part of the enterprise rate review for FY 2006-07, a fee increase $0.25/round is being
recommended for regular rounds of golf and a $1.00 increase is recommended for the Twilight Play fee.
Together, if approved, the increases will yield $15,000 annually which is distributed between an increase of
$5,000 in revenue for regular play and $10,000 in additional revenue for twilight rounds if rounds played
remain consistent with 2005-06. Also being recommended at this time is an increase of$5.00 for the general
10 play card to make the 10 play card discount more equitable between seniors and the general user.
When the Golf Cart Rental program was initiated, no funding was established for maintenance of the carts.
During FY 2005-06 the cart rentals have recovered over$10,000 by March, 2006. It is a proven amenity that
provides a golfing experience for older and disabled golfers, increases rounds of play at the course, and
derives its own source of revenue.
2. In addition to City water, the Golf Course operates two water wells, which during rainy seasons and cool
temperatures pump adequate water to maintain the course in an appealing and useable condition. City water
is used during warmer weather when more water is needed than the wells can produce. Water use fluctuates
because of three factors: weather, over watering, and well fluctuations. For the past two fiscal years, City
water use has exceeded budgeted amounts due to unforeseen mechanical difficulties with the wells and
because adjustments to the water fund rate of 8% annually were not factored into the cost of water.
Projections indicate that $10,400 will be needed in FY 2006-07 to pay for the use of City water.

SIGNIFICANT OPERATING PROGRAM CHANGES
3. Part of the appeal and success of a viable golf course is operating a Pro Shop that adds to the complete
golfing experience. The Laguna Lake Golf Course Pro Shop offers various items for sale including non
taxable food and taxable merchandise which recovers 100% of the expense and generates an additional 20%
profit. The expense has never adequately reflected the amount of goods purchased each year although the
revenue accounts have reflected a higher level of goods sold. The requested adjustment will allow this to
happen and recover at least 120% of the expense.
Alternatives
1. Do not fund the requests. Not funding the requests will necessitate that the Golf Course Program reduce
operations that will result in an unappealing appearance of the course and possible decreased rounds of golf.
