Executive Summary Based on guidance from the City Council, Parks and Recreation Commission and an agreed upon community involvement process, the Cedarholm Clubhouse Advisory Team recommends: �.. Replace the Clubhouse The Advisory Team makes this recommendation with strong consideration for current facility and community needs, as well as future operations requirements. A. Create a space that supports currentand future golf needs but is flexible forfuture needs independent of golf functions. B. Create a gathering space for non-golfers in the community. C. Provide a niche ln Roseville's rental and gathering space locales complementing the offerings at the Roseville Skating Center and the Park Buildings. A space equal to what the clubhouse currently has or slightly larger wouid fill this gap. 2. Use identlfied funding options to support the capital needs of the Golf Course Clubhouse In recent years, the golf industry has contracted and revenues are not as significant as they once were. Roseville financial reports indicate Cedarholm revenues are not consistently capable of supporting annual golf course operating expenses and provides no contribution to capital funds. The Advisory Team believes: A. There is an opportunity to maximize current funding options • Park Dedication Funds o Park Dedication funds refer to charges or fees that are imposed on new development for the impact it has on an established park system. The collection of these fees is authorized by Mn State Statute and they are legally restricted for park development purposes including land acquisition. Remaining Parks and Recreation Renewal Program funding o Park Renewal Program funds refer to the monies raised through the issuance of bonds in 2011 and 2012 to finance various improvements outlined in the Park Renewal Program and other Park System guiding documents. As of July, 2016 the majority of these funds had been expended although a portion has been set aside for remaining projects or initiatives. The monies are legally restricted for park system-related improvements including (and acquisitions. • Current Golf Course Fund Balance o Fund Balance is an accounting term that represents the difference between an entity's assets and liabilities. It is oftentimes referred to as'reserves' or `cash reserves', but there are slight distinctions between the two. The purpose of stating Fund Balance is to depict the future financial resources available to support golf programs and services. B. Partnerships and/or collaborations should be explored • Re-think usage to maximize access and revenues 3. Plan for supporting infrastructure The Advisory Team feels it is prudent at this time, to look at the entire area that supports the golf infrastructure. Where possible create a plan for replacement or improvement for the full clubhouse site to meet current expectatlons and future needs. This would address parking and maintenance and storage needs. Possibly fund using bonds and/or levy. 15�Page City of Roseville Clubhouse Renewal Proposai Cedarholm Golf Course Clubhouse Replacement Design and Cost Estimates
