City Council Meeting Minutes February 16, 2010 Page 9 of 15 be limited to the following: 1) contracting for the management of the course with a private entity; 2) "leasing" the golf course to a private entity; 3) operation directly by the City; and 4) any other options identified by the CGAB. Any decision shall rest solely with the City Council. City Attorney Light stated that creation of a new advisory board would require a separate resolution and would need to be considered as a separate agenda item. Councilor Dalton asked if Councilor Sackett is suggesting pre-conditions to the proposed agreement with WGP. Councilor Sackett felt the City should proceed as quickly as possible to provide Staff with the proper direction and the tools to move forward. City Attorney Light explained according to the agenda setting rule, Staff must present an agenda item and a draft resolution to create an advisory committee. The motion should include direction to Staff to bring forward a resolution to create a Golf Course Advisory Committee. Mayor Pro Tem Marsella seconded the motion. City Attorney Light offered the following friendly amendment to restate the substance of the motion: To approve the contract with Western Golf Properties, with the two revisions noted by the City Manager; include authorization for the Mayor to sign the document on behalf of the City and direction to the City Staff to bring to the City Council a draft resolution to form an advisory board, laying out the roles and responsibilities of the board as generally identified in Council Sackett's motion. Councilor Sackett and Mayor Pro Tem Marsella accepted the amendment. Councilor Dalton stated the Council was in a position of being presented with a contract, which has generated a lot of positive and negative comments, and expires on March 1. He did not favor rushing the approval process without more discussion. He suggested investigating the City's liability. He was interested in knowing WGP's 5-year Capital Improvement Plan. He did not oppose the contract, but was concerned with the process and favored continuing this matter. Councilor Clabots was also interested in seeing WGP's 5-year Capital Plan. Councilor Yarnell supported extending the contract for 180 days, and proceeding with the RFQ and RFP process to see what else is available. She was not in favor proceeding with the approval of the Golf Course Agreement.
