City Council Meeting Minutes August 19, 2014 Page 4 of 15 SECOND AMENDMENT TO AGREEMENT BETWEEN THE CITY OF LOUISVILLE AND LANDSCAPES UNLIMITED FOR GOLF COURSE RECOVERY PROJECT Mayor Muckle requested a staff presentation. Parks and Recreation Director Stevens explained staff is requesting City Council consideration of the Second Amendment to the Agreement between the City of Louisville and Landscapes Unlimited for the design, construction and consideration for the grow -in period at Coal Creek Golf Course. He reported there has been a lot of work performed at the golf course including sodding and seeding greens. The amendment is for an optional Phase III or Grow -in Period Amendment and will continue the City's relationship with Landscapes Unlimited. Fiscal: Parks and Recreation Director Stevens reported FEMA confirmed they will accept the Project Worksheets and have calculated their allocation to the golf course project. FEMA will provide funding for the grow -in damaged areas at an amount of $480,000.12. The cost for the golf courses design, construction and grow -in is $5,633,206. FEMA will reimburse $2,600,473. The City will be responsible for $2,707,674. A FEMA representative stated the amount of reimbursement is based on all the information provided, which means the City staff and Landscapes Unlimited will not have to continually meet FEMA to justify their actions. Recommendation: Staff recommended the Council amend agreement between the City and Landscapes Unlimited to include Phase III, Grow -in period. COUNCIL COMMENTS Mayor Muckle asked if there was an estimate when the seeding will be completed. Parks and Recreation Director Stevens stated the golf course is projected to open in the spring of 2015 and seeding will continue through August and September of this year. There are two shaping crews currently working, so work can be completed on more than one hole at a time and there is also a lot more sodding being accomplished than originally intended. The grow -in period will be coordinated with on -going construction.
