occur downstream, unless there was some underground water movement that was not caught. To answer Ms. Kawaihau's question related to fees and reservations for non Happy Valley residents, Mr. Wolfe stated that the Happy Valley residents would be treated as nonresidents in terms of the fees charged. It would not preclude the Happy Valley residents from signing up or using the golf course. Ms. Hosterman inquired about using the golf course facility at, er hours. Mr. Wolfe mentioned there was a section in the Policy and Procedures Manual that gave the City the ability to use it for official City functions. Mr. Brozosky believed part of the concern was that during the summer, it gets darker much later. Mayor Pico envisioned there would be a situation, especially after the golf course opens, when Pleasanton would host the Mayors' Conference at the golf course site. Mr. Wolfe reaffirmed that it gave the City the ability to do so. Ed McGovem, member of the Pleasanton Golf Course Committee, encouraged Council to approve the Operator Agreement. He believed some of the issues could be resolved in the Policy and Procedures Manual. If the Operator Agreement were approved, it would allow the grow-In to move forward and then eventually the course could be turned over to the Operator. He was disappointed that he did not receive the staff report and was not aware Council would discuss this matter tonight. He believed it would have been helpful for the Golf Course Committee to have received the staff report and be included as part of the process. He strongly believed Pleasanton residents should get discount fees and that ways should be found to give residents this advantage. He believed more than 24 hours should be given for tee time reservations for Pleasanton residents. He indicated that the Golf Course Committee would be discussing fees and tee times, and believed there were other duties the Committee could provide. The Committee has an interest in how the Operator will conduct the marketing plans, how the course will be maintained, methods used for evaluating maintenance, and how the Operator will evaluate the service level provided by the employees. Another role of the Committee would be to help in the development of the club and act as an immediarary to assist the Operator in marketing the golf course locally. He concurred with Mayor Pico's comments related to pension benefits for the golf course employees. He believed the assessment needed to look into an effective cost, number of rounds that are going to be played as a result of escalating cost and the revenue loss that might occur if there is a decrease in intake. He believed the Golf Course Committee should be involved in this assessment and would like to see financial impacts included as part of the assessment. He noted that the Golf Course Committee wanted to make the Callippe Preserve Golf Course available to the median income golfer. The Committee did not want to make this course affordable only to residents of Castlewood or Ruby Hills or some other club in the Pleasanton City Council 24 01/06/04 Minutes
