Authorize a transfer in the amount of$446,437.53 from the Golf Debt Service Fund to the Municipal Golf Fund operating budget to reimburse previously made debt service payments; 3.

Adopt the attached appropriation ordinance increasing estimated receipts and appropriations in the Municipal Golf Fund in the amount of$797,253.87. i DISCUSSION: I The purpose of this Mayor and Council Communication (M&C) is to authorize actions to improve the negative net position of the Municipal Golf Fund (Fund) by (i) transferring the amount of$446,437.53 from the Golf Debt Service Fund to the Municipal Golf Fund to reimburse the operating fund for previously made debt service payments and (ii) transferring an additional amount of$350,816.34 to the current Municipal Golf Fund operating budget to improve the negative net position of the'Fund. On May 13, 2014, a presentation was made to the City Council regarding the sustainability of the Municipal Golf Fund. That presentation noted the ongoing challenges of operating the fund as an enterprise fund and identified a projected net negative position (deficit) in the Municipal Golf Fund's operating budget by the end of the current fiscal year. a i The presentation noted that Golfs annual debt service payment for ERP Phase II was budgeted in the Golf Debt Service Fund but the payment was actually made from Golfs operating fund, contributing to the projected negative net position. The presentation proposed transferring funds from the Golf Debt Service Fund to the operating fund to reimburse this past payment and also proposed transferring additional money from the Debt Service Fund to the operating fund to improve the projected negative position. Following the presentation, the City Council directed Staff to proceed with the proposed r I Logname: 80GOLFERPPHASE2 Page 1 of 2 transfers. Approval of this M&C would effectuate the proposed transfers and would reduce the Municipal Golf Fund's Fiscal Year 2014 projected net negative position from the amount of $1,109,256.00 to the amount of $312,002.13, based on mid-year re-estimates. The money will be initially appropriated in the Golf Debt Service Fund and then transferred to the Municipal Golf Fund where it will be appropriated and used for purposes of improving the net negative position. NOTE ON USE OF GAS RELATED REVENUES -All of the funds at issue in this M&C come from gas related revenues in the Golf Debt Service Fund. In accordance with the City's Financial Management Policy Statements (FMPS), gas related revenues derived from golf course properties, including all bonuses and royalty funds, are split between the Golf Gas Lease Capital Project Fund and the Golf Debt Service Fund. The FMPS includes expenditure criteria for gas related revenues. The eligible uses include technology with a minimum five year useful life (such as ERP Phase II) and "To replenish . . . [the] Net Position (for Enterprise Funds) . . . to meet the minimum requirements established for that fund." Therefore, the FMPS authorizes use of gas related revenue as proposed by this M&C. I The golf program is a City-wide program and serves ALL COUNCIL DISTRICTS. FISCAL INFORMATION /CERTIFICATION: The Financial Management Services Director certifies that upon approval of the above recommendations and adoption of the attached appropriation ordinance, funds will be available in the current budget, as appropriated, from the Golf Debt Service Fund. f FUND CENTERS: + TO Fund/Account/Centers FROM Fund/AccounVCenters 4) PE39 476102 0804090 $797,253.87 2&3) D102 538040 0132000 $797.253.87 € 4) PE39 539120 0804090 $797,253.87 1) D102 446200 0132000 $797.253.87 1) D102 538040 0132000 $797,253.87 l 2) PE39 476102 0804090 $446,437.53 I 3) PE39 476102 0804090 $350.186.34 r CERTIFICATIONS: Submitted for City Manager's Office by: Susan Alanis (8180) Originating Department Head: Richard Zavala (5711) Additional Information Contact: Nancy Bunton (5717) i I i i t Logname: 80GOLFERPPHASE2 Page 2 of 2
