<br />Green Fee revenues are increased $243,815 to reflect original projected rounds of
<br />65,000 increased to over 70,000. Average green fee collected per golfer is
<br />approximately $38.75. Other Golf Revenues are increased $182,562 due to (1) an
<br />increase in cart rental income ($54,000) reflecting the 5,000 additional golf rounds over
<br />the original projections (2) additional food and beverage sales ($125,521) in part due to
<br />additional golf rounds and partly due to higher than anticipated lunch traffic from non-
<br />golfers.
<br />Wage expense is increased $29,629 reflecting more hours worked from hourly
<br />employees due to the increased rounds (additional food and beverage hours, additional
<br />maintenance hours). Salaried wages were actually less than budgeted reflecting two
<br />key management positions that were vacant for part of the year. Materials and Supplies
<br />expense is decreased $63,168 mainly due to less than expected expenditures for
<br />maintenance materials (seed, gravel, chemicals and replacement plants) and minor
<br />furniture fixtures and equipment. Service expenses are increased $37,216 due to an
<br />increase in environmental mitigation expense, garbage and debris removal, and
<br />contract services. Water (irrigation) expense is decreased $25,613 mostly due to
<br />weather related factors (cooler summer, wetter winter).
<br />Funds for debt service include a $2 million golf debt service reserve in the General Fund
<br />reserve, and a projected $1.1 million reserve at the end of FY 2008-09. This would
