events. Both courses are hindered in the ability to attract events due to the lack of a covered pavilion that
would allow all golfers to congregate for a meal and award presentation after their round of golf. The
addition of covered gathering areas as well as improvements to both clubhouses will enhance the overall
experience and is intended to attract more outside events to both courses, thus increasing the potential for
additional revenues. The new restrooms at Pecan Valley will replace existing deteriorating
infrastructure. Over the previous five years, Pecan Valley and Rockwood have averaged 62,215 and
33,265 paid rounds respectively.
Staffs recommendations for the Golf Enterprise Fund's Proposed Projects for Fiscal Year 2011 have been
endorsed by both the Golf Advisory Committee (December 8, 2010) and the Parks and Community
Services Advisory Board (January 26, 2011). Staff has also recommended the addition of pond liners at
Sycamore Creek Golf Course on holes 3 and 4 and clubhouse improvements, to be paid for using fund
balance from the Golf Enterprise Fund's capital projects account.
On June 14, 2011, (M &C L- 15213) the City Council approved the use of parkland at Sycamore Creek Golf
Course for subsurface installation of gas pipeline and authorized the City Manager to enter into a license
agreement with Texas Midstream Gas Services, LLC. In approving this license agreement, the City
Council indicated that the associated revenue of $109,715.00 would be used for capital improvements at
Sycamore Creek Golf Course. While the current Financial Management Policy Statements would
normally direct that 50 percent of the pipeline revenue be used to pay debt and replenish fund balance,
staff recommends that 100 percent of the pipeline license fee be utilized to re -grass ten putting surfaces
and make other related course improvements to increase play and revenue at the course. Approval of the
plan proposed in this M &C authorizes use of the pipeline revenue for the re- grassing and course
improvement project.
Pecan Valley Golf Course is located in COUNCIL DISTRICT 3, Rockwood Golf Course is located in
COUNCIL DISTRICT 2, and Sycamore Creek Golf Course is located in COUNCIL DISTRICT 8. All
courses are classified as special -use facilities and serve the entire city.
FISCAL INFORMATION / CERTIFICATION:
The Financial Management Services Director certifies that upon approval of the above recommendation,
and the adoption of the attached appropriation ordinance, funds will be available in the current capital
budget, as appropriated, of the Golf Gas Lease Capital Project Fund.
