Golf Course Advisory Board Minutes September 19 2016 Page 3 of 8 LCityof Louisville COLORADO • SINCE 1878 7. Strategy a) Study Session with City Council: There are no open issues arising from the August study session with Council. b) GCAB/Staff Sub -Committee Strategy Development Plans/Schedule: Michelle and Perry shared a document (Attachment B) outlining the progress made on the Strategic Planning Process. The Vision, Mission and Goals Statements have been fleshed out and the next steps are to define specific objectives. Joe stated that the City Manager would present the first draft budget to city council on September 20th. This includes the budget for the golf course The Board expressed concern that no attempt had been made to involve the GCAB in preparing the Budget. (Note from minutes of our May Meeting: At the April Meeting Joe committed to present an outline of the 2017 budget to the Board at the May meeting, before it is submitted to the City Manager's office for review prior to submission to Council for approval.) Joe stated that the present version is a first draft and the Board would have the opportunity to review and contribute prior to final Council Approval on December 6. Joe described the current draft as a "status quo" budget. The Board commented that it appeared there would be no provision for reserves against future capital needs and that such a budget would not provide a framework to grow the course as a successful business. Until the Wastewater debt is discharged in 2021 per the current plan there will be little, if any, surplus to fund maintenance and capital expenditures, far less any investment to grow the business. 8. Proposed Agenda Items for Next Meeting Ken proposed that we continue to keep the same topics on the next agenda for the October 17, 2016 meeting with the addition of a detailed discussion of the 2017 budget. 10. Adjourn There being no further business, the meeting was adjourned at 8:30pm. Motion to adjourn proposed by Perry Nelson and seconded by Lisa Norgard.
