Kara Thomas <br />From:noreply@civicplus.com <br />Tuesday, May 19, 2015 9:07 PM <br />Sent: <br />To:*RVParksCommission <br />Subject:Online Form Submittal: Contact Parks and Recreation Commission <br />If you are having problems viewing this HTML email, click to view a Text version. <br />Contact Parks and Recreation Commission <br />Please complete this online form and submit. <br />Subject:* <br />golf course <br />Contact Information <br />Name:* <br />roger hess jr <br />Address:* <br />City: State: Zip: <br />Roseville MN55113 <br />How would you prefer to be contacted? Remember to fill in the <br />corresponding contact information in the fields below.* <br />( ) <br />Email <br />( ) <br />Phone <br />( ) <br />Letter <br />(X) <br />No need to contact me <br />Phone Number: <br />Email Address: <br />Please Share Your Comment, Question or Concern* <br />parks and rec commission member, it was quite interesting to tour the golf course during <br />your last meeting. the city has some very knowledgeable and dedicated employees <br />working there, especially the superintendent - i don't know what you will do when his <br />time there ends! it was clear to me that a financial loss in 2015 of an estimated $86,745 is <br />very acceptable considering all the people who use this facility. this is one parks and rec <br />facility that is relatively cheap to keep around. even if you sold the land for $3,000,000, <br />it would be just a drop in the bucket of one year's city budget! so, let's look at financial <br />numbers if the golf course was not in operation. it appears that the city has been draining <br />cash from the golf course for years to pay for other city operations, which is why the golf <br />course fund has been going down every year. the full and 3/4 time employees would not <br />be fired if the course closed as they provide services throughout the year for the parks <br />and rec department outside of the golf course, so their full salaries ($194,100) would <br />need to be funded another way. the outrageous administration fee of $20,000 would need <br />to be funded in another way, since no one in IT, HR, or finance would be fired if the <br />course closed. so, let's look at the real financial condition of the golf course if we took <br />out those expenses which the city would have whether or not the golf course existed. <br />using the 2015 budget numbers which show a projected loss of $86,745 and adding back <br />$194,100 in regular salaries (and related expenses), adding back depreciation of$34,000, <br />adding back $17,000 in administration expense ($3,000 seems more realistic which <br />would be $600 for IT, $600 for internet service, and $1,800 for payroll of 10 seasonal <br />1 <br /> <br />
