<br />50,000 One-lime
<br />(1) This is a one -time cost in 2015, but will require replacement approximately every 5 years, and annual costs totaling $9,500 for maintenance ($4,500), training
<br />materials ($3,000) and repairs ($2,000).
<br />(2)This includes one -time start -up capital costs of $1,196,000, debt service to the WasteWater Fund of $235,200 and projected Operating Costs of $1,292,050.
<br />These costs will be funded with a $1,196,000 one -time transfer from the Capital Projects Fund, Golf Course revenues, which we project at $1,153,310 for 2015,
<br />and a one -time $400,000 loan from the WasteWater Fund, which must be repaid with interest. This would provide net revenue over expenses to the Golf Course
<br />Fund of $26,060.
<br />(3) Funding from the Urban Revitalization District Fund
<br />Major Issues
<br />Golf Course Operation
<br />FEMA's Project Worksheet includes $484,000 for "Grow -In" at Coal Creek Golf Course.
<br />FEMA's funding will provide flexibility to defer hiring golf course maintenance staff and
<br />delay purchasing and/or leasing golf course maintenance equipment until we are closer
<br />to final construction acceptance by the City and have a firm reopening date.
