RECOMMENDATION
It is recommended that the City Council
1 Adopt the attached supplemental appropriation ordinance increasing appropriations in the Golf Fund
by $1,130,037 and decreasing the unreserved, undesignated Retained Earnings by a like amount,
and
2. Authorize the City Manager to implement the reorganization of the Parks and Community Services
Department/Golf Division as approved by the City Council on December 9, 1997
On November 5, 1996, the City Council directed staff to secure a consultant that was knowledgeable in
both municipal and private management of golf operations to objectively evaluate both the City
managed and the lease managed golf courses. The ultimate goal was for the consultant to provide a
recommendation to the City Council as to which management structure best served the interests of the
golfers of Fort Worth and would provide the most effective and efficient management of the City's golf
courses.
On July 1, 1997 (M&C C16124), the City Council approved a contract with American ClubServ to
conduct the operations study On November 11, 1997, the Facilities and Infrastructure Committee
recommended endorsement of the consultant's report as presented On December 9, 1997, the City
Council approved M&C G-12082 which included the following actions 1) termination of the current
contracts with American Golf Corporation (Z-Boaz Golf Course) and International Golf of Texas, Inc.,
(Rockwood Golf Course) to lapse at the end of their primary term, 2) the City take over of all agronomic
and capital improvement program aspects at all golf courses, and 3) issuance of a Request for
Proposals (RFP) for the contract operation of the pro shops and the snack shops.
Implementation of the recommendations would be in accordance with the termination of the existing
management agreements at Z-Boaz and Rockwood For Meadowbrook, Sycamore Creek and Pecan
Valley, implementation would occur on October 1, 1998, in line with the 1998-99 fiscal year However,
with the premature failure of the contractor at Rockwood Golf Course and the assumption of
maintenance activities at Z-Boaz on June 1, 1998, the current operating budget of the Golf Enterprise
Fund needs to be increased to fund operations at these two facilities.
A total of $528,579 is required to fund positions, supplies, utilities and contractual services at these two
facilities throughout the remaining 1997-98 fiscal year In addition, a total of $601,458 is required to
purchase capital equipment that would be utilized in the maintenance operations at .both Rockwood and
Z-Boaz.
