Rockwood Park Golf Course Fee Structure - Municipal Golf 2000 - Total Golf ManaQement Inc. Consideration was given to letters from Cyril Oram, Chairman of Municipal Golf 2000, (1) asking, as April 6 is the open house for the Golf Course, Council to ensure that the members keep their passes in place until the March 10, 2003 Council resolution is dealt with and the fees for the upcoming season are known, and (2) requesting to make a presentation at this meeting on the issues of seniors' play on weekends, the pass structure, fees, tournaments, restrictions on play and possible omissions in the 1995-1999 and 1999-2010 agreements. Consideration was also given to a letter from Gerry Connolly, President of Total Golf Management Inc., accepting a recent invitation to address Common Council at this meeting regarding the fee structure for the 2003 golf season at the Rockwood Park Golf Course, and advising his intent to focus on the rationale / real data from which the fee structure was developed and to continue to defend the fairness of the 2003 fees, as well as present 2003 fees from other urban courses throughout the Maritimes for reference and comparison purposes. Mr. Oram addressed Council on the issues referenced in his above letter, questioning a fee of $125 being charged at the Golf Course, the omission from the operator's March 10,2003 submission to Council of rates and fees being charged by other golf courses in the Province in accordance with his agreement with the City, an intermediate pass for which he could find no provision in the agreement, and whether it 89-642 COMMON COUNCIUREUNION DU CONS ElL MUNICIPAL APRIL 7, 2003/LE 7 AVRIL 2003 was the operator's intent to add 75 new senior restricted passes or put restrictions on the existing 75 senior passes. Mr. Oram read letters in support of his group's position, and related information regarding rates at public golf courses in the area (copies of which were distributed to the Council members at this meeting). Mr. Oram expressed the view that the $140 increase in the senior pass was not only unreasonable but discriminatory, and the new senior restricted pass to be offered at a cost of $675 did not seem to be a viable option for most senior members because it would restrict time and play, while increasing the fee by $65. During Mr. Oram's presentation the Mayor, ruling on a point of order raised by Councillor Titus that Council could deal only with the issue of fees based on the legal opinion received, by asking Mr. Oram to continue with his presentation. Mr. Connolly, in his comments, spoke to Total Golf Management Inc.'s operation of the Golf Course, noting that this was the eighth year of his Company's contract with the City; and related information from a recent comprehensive review based on real usage data from 2001 and 2002 on which the 2003 fees were based. Mr. Connolly addressed the issue of the $140 increase in the season pass holder for seniors, the review having demonstrated that the usage in this category of 75 individuals was the highest of the categories and about half the group played on weekdays only; and noted the two options to be offered to seniors - a restricted pass for $675 to play every weekday and after 2:00 p.m. on weekends and holidays and an unrestricted pass for $750 to play on weekends and holidays. Mr. Connolly added that seniors who choose the first option may still participate in Club events scheduled on weekends and holidays, and also that seniors who pay green fees pay a reduced price senior green fee of $29 tax included; and referenced information on fees at other golf courses (copies of which were distributed to Council members at this meeting). During discussion Mr. Connolly, having been asked by the Mayor if he would consider reducing the seniors' rate, advised that, while the $750 rate would remain for the seniors' group for unrestricted golf as he thought it was fair and supported by the information he presented, he would offer, as a compromise, to hold the rate at $610 tax included in 2003, which is the same rate as last year, for seniors who want to play on weekdays and after 12:00 noon on weekends. On motion of Councillor Fitzgerald Seconded by Councillor Teed RESOLVED that the March 10,2003 Council resolution approving the 2003 fee structure for the Rockwood Park Golf Course and Aquatic Driving Range be rescinded. Councillor Titus spoke in support of the fee structure submitted to Council on March 10, 2003, expressing the opinion that there should not be a special rate for seniors but rather everyone should be treated equally and that Council had no business trying to manage the Golf Course. Question being taken, the motion was carried with Councillor Titus voting "nay". On motion of Councillor Trites Seconded by Deputy Mayor White RESOLVED that Council approve the 2003 fee structure for the Rockwood Park Golf Course and Aquatic Driving Range, as submitted to Council on March 10,2993 with the letter from Total Golf Management Inc. dated March 3,2003, with the exception that the fee for the season pass for the category Senior (restricted) be $610, the restriction being that the pass does not operate before 12:00 noon on weekends. Question being taken, the motion was carried with Councillors Court and Titus voting "nay" 5. Grille tarifaire du terrain de golf du parc Rockwood - Municipal Golf 2000 et Total Golf ManaQement Inc. Examen des lettres de Cyril Oram, president de Municipal Golf 2000, 1) demandant, etant donne que Ie 6 avril est la journee portes ouvertes du terrain de golf, que les membres puissent conserver leurs laissez-passer jusqu'a ce que la resolution du 89-643 COMMON COUNCIUREUNION DU CONS ElL MUNICIPAL APRIL 7, 2003/LE 7 AVRIL 2003 conseil du 10 mars 2003 soit adoptee et que la grille tarifaire pour la saison prochaine so it connue, et 2) sollicitant la possibilite de faire une presentation au cours de cette reunion sur les questions relatives aux parties de golf des alnes les fins de semaine, aux laissez-passer, a la grille tarifaire, aux tournois, aux restrictions de jeu ainsi qu'aux omissions possibles dans les conventions de 1995 a 1999 et de 1999 a 2010. Examen egalement d'une lettre de Gerry Connolly, president de Total Golf Management Inc., dans laquelle il accepte, a la suite d'une invitation recente, de se presenter devant Ie conseil au cours de cette reunion pour discuter de la grille tarifaire pour la saison de golf 2003 au terrain de golf du pare Rockwood, et il informe Ie conseil de son intention d'examiner les raisons et les chiffres reels ayant servi de fondement a I'etablissement de la grille tarifaire, de continuer a defendre I'equite en matiere de tarifs pour 2003 et de presenter les tarifs d'autres terrains de golf des Maritimes a titre d'information et de comparaison. M. Oram aborde devant Ie conseilles points souleves dans la lettre susmentionnee, parlant du tarif de 125 $ exige au terrain de golf, de I'omission dans la proposition de I'exploitant, presentee au conseille 10 mars 2003 dans Ie cadre de la convention conclue avec la Ville, des tarifs imposes par d'autres terrains de golf de la province, ainsi que d'un laissez-passer intermediaire pour lequel il n'existe, selon lui, aucune disposition dans la convention, et se demande si I'intention de I'exploitant etait d'ajouter 75 nouveaux laissez-passer pour les alnes comportant des restrictions ou d'imposer des restrictions aux 75 laissez-passer pour alnes existants. M. Oram lit des lettres d'appui a la position de son groupe et presente d'autres renseignements sur les tarifs en vigueur dans des terrains de golf publics de la region (des copies de ces documents ont ete distribuees aux membres du conseil a la reunion). M. Oram affirme qu'en plus d'etre deraisonnable, I'augmentation de 140 $ du laissez-passer pour alnes est discriminatoire, et Ie nouveau laissez-passer pour alnes a 675 $ ne semble pas une option acceptable pour la plupart des membres retraites puisqu'illimite Ie temps et Ie jeu tout en coutant 65 $ de plus. Au cours de la presentation de M. Oram, Ie maire, se prononyant sur un point de I'ordre du jour souleve par Ie conseiller Titus, affirme que Ie conseil est uniquement en mesure de traiter la question de la grille tarifaire en se fondant sur I'avis juridique reyu, puis demande a M. Oram de poursuivre sa presentation. M. Connolly, dans ses commentaires, parle de I'exploitation du terrain de golf par Total Golf Management Inc. en soulignant qu'il s'agit de la huitieme annee du contrat de son entreprise avec la Ville; et des donnees connexes provenant d'un recent examen detaille fonde sur I'utilisation de donnees reelles de 2001 et de 2002 sur lesquelles la grille tarifaire de 2003 est fondee. M. Connolly discute de I'augmentation de 140 $ pour les titulaires alnes d'un laissez-passer saisonnier, I'etude ayant demontre que I'utilisation des laissez-passer dans cette categorie de 75 personnes etait la plus importante et qu'environ la moitie de ce groupe joue au golf uniquement les jours de semaine; et souligne les deux options qui seront offertes aux alnes - un laissez-passer avec restrictions d'une valeur de 675 $ pour les jours de la semaine, les fins de semaine apres 14 h ainsi que les jours feries et un laissez-passer sans restriction d'une valeur de 750 $ pour les fins de semaine et les jours feries. M. Connolly ajoute que les alnes qui choisissent la premiere option peuvent tout de meme participer aux activites du club qui ont lieu les fins de semaine et les jours feries, et egalement que les alnes qui payent des droits d'entree ont droit a un tarif reduit pour alnes de 29 $ (taxes incluses); et fait mention des tarifs d'autres terrains de golf (dont des copies sont distribuees aux membres du conseil au cours de la reunion). Au cours des discussions, M. Connolly, a la question que lui pose Ie maire a savoir s'il considererait reduire Ie tarit pour alnes, affirme que, bien que Ie tarif de 750 $ restera en place pour Ie laissez-passer sans restriction pour alnes, ce qu'il trouve equitable et justifiable a la lumiere des donnees qu'il a presente, il offrira tout de meme, a titre de compromis, de maintenir en 2003 Ie tarif de 610 $ (taxes incluses) de I'an dernier pour les alnes qui souhaitent jouer la semaine et les fins de semaine en apres-midi.

During discussion Councillor Fitzpatrick noted that the Subdivision in question was the subject of two other reports at this meeting and advised that he would like to know the total amount of City funding involved in order to determine the return on investment; and Councillor Teed advised his concern that the City, in making its contribution, has no guarantee that the property will be developed. (Councillor Court withdrew from the meeting.) Question being taken, the motion was carried with Councillor Teed voting "nay". 11. Entente de lotissement - lotissement West Side Estates Etude d'un rapport du gerant municipal concernant I'approbation par Ie conseil, Ie 21 mai 2002, de I'entente de lotissement relative au lotissement West Side Estates sur la promenade Glenwood en vue de la creation eventuelle de 71 lots, considerant qu'une station de relevement des eaux usees serait installee aux frais du promoteur (puisqu'elle ne dessert que Ie lotissement) et que ce projet serait admissible au programme d'aide a I'infrastructure residentielle. Le rapport explique comment on en est venu a considerer qu'une plus grande station de relevement pouvant desservir 250 lots serait la meilleure solution. Cette station de relevement, qui serait situee en aval des principaux terrains integres au lotissement residentiel, permettrait de contourner des sections du reseau touchees par des contraintes de capacite et de tenir compte des possibilites de developpement futur (146 lots). Elle pourrait egalement faire I'objet d'ameliorations en cas de croissance accrue. II souligne enfin que I'entente proposee de partage des couts est conforme aux pratiques anterieures en matiere de repartition des couts tout en permettant d'assurer les services necessaires aux clients existants et eventuels, et que cette proposition pourrait accroitre la base d'imposition d'a peu pres 9 millions de dollars.

Au cours de la discussion, Ie conseiller Fitzpatrick note que Ie lotissement en question a fait I'objet de deux autres rapports a cette reunion et il indique qu'il aimerait connaitre Ie montant total du financement de la Ville pour determiner Ie rendement du capital investi. Le conseiller Teed se dit inquiet du fait que la Ville s'engage financierement sans avoir obtenu de garantie quant a la realisation du projet de developpement. (Le conseiller Court quitte la reunion.) A I'issue du vote, la proposition est acceptee, Ie conseiller Teed ayant vote contre. 12.
