banquet hall programmed to seat 269 people captures views of the golf course and views of Keller Lake. The bar/grill area can accommodate up to 75 people. The kitchen is designed to service banquets as well as less formal menus offered in the bar/grill area. The pro shop replicates the current exterior design but is approximately double the size. Cart storage is split between a garage under the pro shop for 36 carts and storage under the clubhouse for an additional 36 carts. He pointed out that based on design committee recommendations, the number of bathroom stalls adjacent to the bar/grill area has been increased by one and the proposed shower/locker facilities have been eliminated. Mr. Finley reviewed the golf course design noting that there have been a few refinements since schematic design; however, the general layout is unchanged. He noted that there continues to be discussion about the tee box locations for hole #13. The plan calls for establishment of a forward tee approximately 110 to 125 yards from the green without the force carry over water. Some low handicap women's club members have expressed concern about this tee location. Alternatives to expand the size of the current tee box are extremely limited. Any expansion would require a significant structure to retain soil and still result in a forced carry of at least 110 yards over the irrigation pond.

The critical success indicators are aligned with goals adopted by the Ramsey County Board of Commissioners. Specific critical success indicators applicable to parks and recreation services are: • County facilities have connectivity and are functional, safe, energy efficient and accessible • Residents have access to and use libraries and recreational resources • A variety of transit and transportation options are accessible and safe for users of all abilities and incomes • Natural resources are managed to sustain and enhance the environment • County services support the educational and occupational achievement of its children and adults Ms. Yungers distributed the Department's draft summary of each of the critical success indicators and associated performance measures as presented to the County Manager for review and comment. Ultimately these documents will be presented to the Ramsey County Board of Commissioners as part of the 2013 budget process. Mr. Ditmore inquired whether the performance measures documents reflect targets for the last year reported. Mr. Mack indicated that the estimates for 2012 and 2013 are essentially targets but, that the forms used do not 2
