<br />12 <br />Cedarholm Clubhouse Advisory Team Final Report <br /> <br />2. Use Identified Funding Options <br />The Advisory Team recommends the following funding options to support the capital needs of <br />replacing the Cedarholm Golf Course clubhouse and maintenance facility. <br />A. Maximize the use of current funding <br />• The Advisory Team believes the clubhouse can be replaced without a tax levy <br />increase at this time by using current park dedication funds, remaining renewal <br />program funds and using the golf course fund balance. 19 <br />• If necessary, consider all funding options, including a levy and bonding <br />B. If a levy is used, the Advisory Team strongly suggests identifying a sunset for the levy <br />without renewal or repurpose <br />• Levy funding may be needed to support clubhouse operations if other uses, outside <br />of golf operations, are included in future plans for the clubhouse <br />C. Pursue partnerships and collaborations <br />• Consider opportunities that could provide funding in exchange for use, philanthropic <br />consideration and naming rights <br />• Grants and other opportunities <br /> <br />3. Plan for Supporting Infrastructure <br />The Advisory Team feels it is prudent to look at the entire area supporting golf operations and create a plan <br />that works together with the full Clubhouse site to meet current expectations and future needs. The <br />Advisory Team recommends replacing or improving the maintenance/storage facility as part of the <br />clubhouse replacement project. <br />A. It is important to replace or improve the maintenance facility and site to accommodate: <br />• A welcoming site entrance that reflects a multi-use facility <br />• Parking Needs <br />• Secure golf cart storage to support growing revenue streams <br />• Maintenance equipment and product storage <br />• Improved working conditions to meet current building and safety standards and code <br />requirements <br /> <br />4. Reconsider the Status of the Golf Course as an Enterprise Fund <br />Criteria suggests that the golf course is not currently operating fully as an enterprise fund. Because of this, <br />the Advisory Team recommends a review and reconsideration of the Golf Course’s current Enterprise Fund <br />status. <br /> <br />19 Attachment 11d (page 139) Clubhouse Funding Options <br /> <br />
