Non - Residents are charged the same rate as City Residents. Per Mark Jensen, CCGC General Manager, paraphrased. "Staff are looking at all the fees players pay at Coal Creek Golf Course. We are analyzing our competition as well to see where we sit. I anticipate that our green fees need to go up and be simplified, and our memberships need further review as well. Our plan is to put together a proposal for all parties that need to chime in by October 15th. The current memberships are good through March of 2026 so new ones would start April 1. Green fee rates and cart rates ideally would change Jan 1." Certain Community Development Fees, specific to Subdivision and Annexation Fees, as well as Annual adjustments to Impact Fees, are set and/or adjusted by the City Manager. These fees can be found in Rows 234 — 281 of Attachment 2. FINANCE COMMITTEE COMMUNICATION
