HISTORY:
At the May 16, 2018 Commission meeting, a discussion regarding the repurposing of our golf courses for the future, sponsored by Commissioner Arriola, was referred to the Finance and Citywide Projects (“FCWP”) Committee, to examine the financial outlook of the City’s municipal golf courses.
At the June 29, 2018 FCWP meeting, the Committee discussed the possibility of increasing revenues at Normandy Shores Golf Club by changing its economic model. Staff was directed to issue an addendum to the current Request for Proposals (“RFP”) to offer a second option to bid as owner manager/operator, as well as extend the RFP and bid opening date, and take the recommendation to the July 17, 2018 Special Commission meeting.
The recommendation to offer bidders a second option on the RFP was given at the meeting and without providing Staff an opportunity to conduct due diligence.
Staff has evaluated the feasibility of this economic model and does not recommend the addendum to this RFP go forward.
