Title
Discuss Indian Creek Golf Course.
Body
BACKGROUND:
Indian Creek Golf Course has been closed since May 28, 2015, due to flooding. An additional flood event on June 16 resulted in both courses remaining closed. On October 13 staff presented the City Council with options and cost to re-open the Lakes Course with a goal to open in April 2016. The City Council authorized the City Manager to negotiate a contract with Eagle for the operation of the Lakes Course and the basic maintenance of the Creek Course. The City Council requested that the staff provide options and costs to re-open the Creek Course. Concurrently, the City has contracted with Freese and Nichols to complete a land use study by January 2016. The purpose of this work session item is to discuss the estimated cost to reopen the Creek Course as well as discuss the current condition of the Creek Course. Eagle/Arcis Golf has also provided estimated costs to operate the golf courses once open and there is a subsequent agenda item to consider the managed service contract for ongoing operation and maintenance of both the Lakes and Creek Courses.
