Regular City Council Meeting Monday, September 26, 2016 Page 13 Mr. Brokke noted all fees were reviewed and reported annually as the City Coun- cil set its fee schedule for the coming year. Mr. Brokke advised that staff at- tempted to recommend fees that would remain within the market, with Roseville’s probably somewhat lower than some, but similar on average to the majority. At the request of Councilmember McGehee, Mr. Holt clarified that the $200,000 balance in the Enterprise Fund was the projected balance at this time. Councilmember McGehee questioned how much of the annual revenues were over and above operating expenses. Mr. Brokke responded that, depending on the weather, it should come in close to covering annual operating costs, but not contribute to any capital needs of the golf course. Mr. Brokke noted the fund balance fluctuated, but remained in the esti- mated $200,000 range; with the total balance of approximately $250,000 and that additional $50,000 held as a carry over to pay expenses prior to receipt of reve- nues. If 60% to 70% of golf course users are non-residents, Councilmember McGehee asked if there was any plan or discussion for improving the revenue stream so Ro- seville residents who didn’t play golf or participated in any way no longer needed to carry this rather large tax burden. Mr. Brokke responded that staff could consider residential and non-residential rates differentials. However, Mr. Brokke noted it was often difficult to determine residency status when people come in without requiring their driver’s licenses or some other type of verification. Mr. Brokke noted some of the anticipated resi- dential or non-residential data was available for open golf estimated at approxi- mately 40% residents and 60% non-residents for open golf with leagues more readily defined. Mr. Holt noted it was not common for golf courses to charge resident versus non- resident fees, since it was frequent that a family member from out-of-town may play with a resident and be subjected to paying a higher fee. Councilmember Etten thanked the Advisory Team for their report and the exten- sive time spent during the process. Councilmember Etten asked if there was a potential cost range for design ser- vices. Mr. Holt estimated approximately $20,000 to $25,000 for design development, with overall engineering services typically 10% of the total project cost including the whole process from schematic design, design development to construction documents.
