The significant annual changes, both in authorized positions and budget are as follows: • FY2001: The adopted budget increased by approximately $300K mainly due to salary increases based on the city's compensation plan and for principle and interest payments for debt supporting renovations to the Pecan Valley and Meadowbrook golf courses. • FY2003: The adopted budget increased by about $500K. The budget increase is mainly due to Administrative Services Charges from other departmental allocations based on activities in the Municipal Golf Fund. • FY2004: The adopted budget decreased by approximately ($1.7M) and eliminated 23 authorized positions to align staffing and services with the declining revenues associated with increased competition. • FY2007: The adopted budget increased by approximately $300K. The budget increased mainly for salaries of regular employee and retirement costs based on the City's compensation plan, increased costs for equipment maintenance and refreshments. The cost of refreshments is offset by increased revenue. • FY2008: The adopted budget increased by about $200K and 8 positions. The budget increase was mainly due to the conversion of 12 temporary positions: 6 snack bar, 5 Maintenance Positions and 1 golf shop position converted to 8 regular part-time and full-time positions. The conversion of the temporary positions was needed for continuity, dependability and excessive work hours of temporary employees. • FY2009: The adopted budget increased by approximately $200K primarily as a result of the 3 percent salary increase approved for general employees. • FY2010: The adopted budget increased by nearly $400K resulting primarily from the re- instatement of the Administrative Services charge, which was eliminated in FY2005. These costs were offset due to the citywide implementation of mandatory furlough days. • FY2013: The adopted budget decreased by approximately ($700K) while 7 authorized positions were eliminated. The reductions were associated with closure of the Z-Boaz golf course in reaction to declining revenues. The adopted budget also included an increase for repayment of debt associated with ERP Phase II costs.

There was an offsetting decrease for debt service charges, since the debt payment was to be made from the Golf Debt Service Fund (D102). City Council approved an annual $850K subsidy to balance the Golf Operating Budget recognizing the importance of golf in Fort Worth's history and as an important recreational outlet for its citizens. Over the last fifteen years, the Municipal Golf Fund has been through significant changes due to continually declining revenue associated with decreased golf demand and increased course competition in the area.
