RETREAT AGENDA SUBJECT: Use of CDBG Funds (Senior Center/Public Works Projects)

BACKGROUND: We are in the planning and design phase for the senior center and we believe we can obtain five hundred thousand ($500,000.00) dollars from a county CDBG grant. Previously, the City Council had directed staff to refrain from applying for CDBG grants. Staff wants to inquire if the Council might change its position given the political change in the U.S. administration.

PENDING THE AVAILABILITY OF APPLICABLE ASSESSMENT TOOLS

• Are Program Participants subject to the obligation to affirmatively further fair housing?

Yes. Under the Fair Housing Act and other statutory authorities, HUD program participants

receiving Federal financial assistance are required to administer their programs and activities in

a manner that affirmatively furthers fair housing.

• Are Program Participants that Lack an Applicable Assessment Tool subject to the requirementsto conduct an AFH?

Not yet. The Affirmatively Furthering Fair Housing (AFFH) Final Rule provides that no AFH will be

due before the publication of the Assessment Tool applicable to the program participant (or

lead entity in a collaboration). Further, HUD must provide a minimum of 9 months after the

publication of the final Assessment Tool when setting a new deadline for submission of the AFH.

See 24 C.F.R. § 5.160(a)(l)(ii). Program participants should consult the tables above, which

directs which Assessment Tool they should use as well as their current availability as of the date

of this guidance.

• What should a Program Participant do to continue to comply with AFFH requirements pending

the availability of its applicable Assessment Tool?

Under the Fair Housing Act and other statutory authorities, program participants have a

continuing obligation to affirmatively further fair housing. The AFFH Rule provides that "until

such time as [a] program participant [is] required to submit an AFH, the program participant

shall continue to conduct an analysis of impediments ... in accordance with requirements in

effect prior to August 17, 2015." 24 C.F.R. § 5.160(a)(3).

For a State or Insular area, or a program participant collaborating with a State or Insular Area as

the lead entity, this means it will continue to certify in accordance with the existing AFFH

certification requiring that the participant will affirmatively further fair housing. The certification

for a local government, State, or Insular Area indicates that it will conduct an Analysis of

Impediments to Fair Housing Choice (Al) to identify impediments to fair housing choice within

the jurisdiction or State, take appropriate actions to overcome the effects of any impediments

identified through that analysis, and maintain records reflecting the analysis and actions. As ·a

result, these program participants will continue to conduct Als, as opposed to AFHs, until such

time as a final Assessment Tool for their use has been approved in accordance with the PRA.

Similarly, PHAs will continue to certify that they will continue to affirmatively further fair

housing. Program Participants remain subject to FHEO compliance reviews and investigations,

and HUD may request and review the Al or other records in the event of a complaint or during

routine onsite or offsite monitoring.

ADDITIONAL GUIDANCE RELATED SPECIFICALLY TO STATES OR INSULAR AREAS

OR COLLABORATIONS LED BY STATES OR INSULAR AREAS

• Status of State Assessment Tool PRA Process

In a Federal Register Notice dated September 28, 2016 (81 Fed. Reg. 66754), HUD solicited

comment on a draft version of an Assessment Tool for States and Insular Areas and also

announced a two-stage process for soliciting public comment and feedback before the Office of

Management and Budget (0MB) would approve the final Assessment Tool under the PRA. This

Notice stated:

Following this first stage of the extended PRA process, HUD will provide an updated version ofthe Assessment Tool. States and Insular Areas will not be required to use the Assessment Tool

to complete an AFH until such time HUD publishes a final Notice announcing the availability of

the final Assessment Tool and final AFFH-T for States and Insular Areas. This final Notice will not

be published until after the second stage of this extended PRA process has been completed. By

providing the updated version of the Assessment Tool prior to issuance of the final Notice, HUD is

providing on opportunity for the public and program participants to have advanced review of the

proposed requirements.

As of the date of this guidance, HUD is continuing to develop an updated version of the

Assessment Tool, which HUD intends to publish before proceeding to a second 30-Day PRA

Notice and Comment period. This second stage in this extended process will allow the public a

further opportunity to review and provide feedback on the interaction between the Assessment

Tool and the AFFH-T, to inform any necessary changes to the Assessment Tool itself.

• Should a State or Insular Area update its Analysis of Impediments to Fair Housing Choice (Al)

or wait for the Assessment Tool for States and Insular Areas?

HU D's longstanding guidance on the Al process, the Fair Housing Planning Guide, "suggests that

jurisdictions conduct or update their Al at least once every 3 to 5 years (consistent with the

Consolidated Planning Cycle)." Until the final publication of an Assessment Tool for States and

Insular Areas, HUD recommends completing an update of the Al according to the existing

guidance pending the final Assessment Tool for States and Insular Areas. HUD will continue to

provide program participants and the public information regarding the status of the Assessment

Tool for use by States and Insular Areas.

• How can States and Insular Areas use the AFFH Rule framework, draft Assessment Tools, and

AFFH Data and Mapping Tool (AFFH-T) to Inform an Al update?

While HU D's Fair Housing Planning Guide remains HU D's official guidance for completing an Al,

HUD encourages any State or Insular Area that will update an Al pending a final Assessment Tool

to take advantage of the framework set forth in the AFFH Rule (specifically at 24 C.F.R. §

5.154(d)) and draft Assessment Tools as a way of completing the obligations of the Al. HUD

considers the objectives of the AFH-identifying significant contributing factors and related fair

housing issues and establishing goals for overcoming the effects of those-to enhance those of

the Al-identifying impediments to fair housing choice. The framework set forth in the AFFH

10

Rule provides a set of specific fair housing issues (segregation/integration, racially or ethnically concentrated areas of poverty (R/ECAPs), disparities in access to opportunity, and disproportionate housing needs) that States and Insular Areas may wish to analyze when conducting their Als.

In conducting or updating the Al, States or Insular Areas may in particular find the following resources to be useful:

• The Draft Assessment Tool for States and Insular Areas, as well as finalAssessment Tools for Local Governments and PHAs

• AFFH Data and Mapping Tool (AFFH-T)• The AFFH Rule Guidebook

The Assessment Tools are meant to assist program participants as they undertake planning processes to meet their AFFH planning obligations. As explained further in the Fair Housing Planning Guide, the scope of an Al is broad and considers a variety of private and public practices, policies, and procedures that affect housing choice. For example, as the Fair Housing Planning Guide explains in Section 2.5, "the Al structure should provide for effective, ongoing relationships with all elements of the community with clear and continuous exchange of concerns, ideas, analysis, and evaluation of results." As such, the community participation requirements of the AFFH Rule may provide States and Insular Areas with a useful framework for complying with their preexisting obligation. Similarly, when defining objectives and implementing Fair Housing Actions in conducting an Al, it may be useful for a State or Insular Area to consider the goal setting framework provided under the AFFH Rule and in the draft Assessment Tool.

In addition, HUD has provided maps and tables through the AFFH-T that can help show patterns related to fair housing issues. HUD is continuing to develop a beta version of the Data and Mapping Tool for States and Insular Areas, and will announce its availability through a Federal

Register Notice, at which point States, Insular Areas, and the public may provide HUD with comments regarding the functionality and data packages.

Finally, the AFFH Rule Guidebook provides more detailed guidance on how program participants can use the Assessment Tool and AFFH-T. HUD strongly encourages States to use these resources to inform their fair housing planning pending a final Assessment Tool for States and Insular Areas.

• How can States Collaborate with Local Governments or PHAs?

As it has developed the AFH process, HUD has encouraged local governments and PHAs to collaborate with States and Insular Areas in a joint or regional AFH.s HUD has also provided for one such method of collaboration with States and Insular Areas in its draft Assessment of Fair Housing Tool for States and Insular Areas by providing "inserts" for smaller program

5 See the AFFH Final Rule at 24 C.F.R. § 5,156(a) ("For the purposes of sharing resources and addressing fair housing issues from a broader perspective, program participants are encouraged to collaborate to conduct and

submit a single AFH, either a joint AFH or regional AFH ... for the purpose of evaluating fair housing issues and contributing factors.").

11

participants. By Notice dated January 13, 2017 {82 Fed. Reg. 4373, 4377), HUD has also

indicated it intends to make inserts for PHAs applicable to any PHAs with 1250 or fewer units.

In general, HUD anticipates that the opportunity to collaborate with a State or Insular Area on

fair housing planning may be particularly useful for smaller or more rural program participants

outside of larger metropolitan areas, or without opportunities for local collaboration within

their CBSA, or for other local governments or PHAs seeking to participate in a wider regional

approach to fair housing planning. PHAs that operate statewide or regionally or that operate

under a consortium (24 CFR C.F.R. Part 943) may also particularly benefit from an AFH

collaboration with a State.

Collaborating program participants must designate, through express written consent, one

participant as the lead entity to oversee the submission of the joint or regional AFH on behalf of all collaborating program participants. 24 C.F.R. § 5.156{a)(3). Program participants, whether

contiguous or non-contiguous, that are either not located within the same Core-Based Statistical Area {CBSA), or that are not located within the same State and seek to collaborate on an AFFH,

must submit a written request to HUD for approval of the collaboration, stating why the

collaboration is appropriate. 24 C.F.R. § 5.156{a)(2). In addition, program participants that

intend to prepare either a joint or regional AFH shall promptly notify HUD of such intention and

provide HUD with a copy of their written agreement. 24 C.F.R. § 5.516(a)(4).

In these written notifications or requests for approval, HUD recommends that program

participants describe (1) how the State- or Insular Area-led collaboration will improve their AFH

and related fair housing outcomes, (2) how the collaborating entities will ensure ongoing

compliance with AFFH requirements pending the availability of an Assessment Tool for States or

Insular Areas, and (3) include the written agreement between program participants.

For States or Insular Areas whose Consolidated Plans are due in FY 2017 or 2018, the State or

Insular Area can act as the lead entity for a joint collaboration, while completing its own Al. Any

program participant that is collaborating with a State or Insular Area as the lead entity should

also ensure it is complying with existing requirements to conduct or update their Al or otherwise meet the obligations of their AFFH certification, as applicable. HUD encourages States or Insular

Areas that are updating their Als to collaborate with their local government and PHA partners in

anticipation of the State- or Insular Area-led collaboration on the AFH. The collaboration may

develop a collaborative Al that helps to meet the AFFH requirements of the collaborating

partners.

For States or Insular Areas whose Consolidated Plans are due in FY 2019 or thereafter, such

States or Insular Areas may be designated as the lead entity for a joint or regional Assessment of

Fair Housing. The final Assessment Tool for States and Insular Areas to be issued by HUD

following the completion of the final PRA process is intended to include additional mechanisms

for implementing and achieving this result.

HUD will provide further instruction upon finalizing the Assessment Tool for States or Insular

Areas or HUD may reassess the status of such collaborations based on the availability of the

Assessment Tool.

• When is the Submission Date for the Collaboration?

12

To the extent practicable, all program participants must be on the same program year and fiscal year before submission of the joint or regional AFH. Program participants should also align consolidated planning cycles or PHA planning cycles to the extent practicable. The applicable procedures for changing consolidated plan program participant program year start dates, if necessary, are described in 24 C.F.R. § 91.10-20. The applicable procedures for changing PHA fiscal year beginning dates, if necessary, are described in 24 C.F.R. § 903.15. If alignment of a program year or fiscal year is not practicable, the submission deadline for a joint AFH or regional AFH will be based on the designated lead entity's program year start date. In the case where a State or Insular Area is the lead entity, the submission date will be subject to the extension based on when the final Assessment Tool for States and Insular Areas becomes available.•

• How do local governments or PHAs collaborating with a State or Insular Area lead entitycomply with AFFH obligations pending the final Assessment Tool for States and Insular Areas?

Under the AFFH Rule, program participants must submit an AFH in accordance with the submission deadlines in 24 C.F.R. § 5.160(a). Under 24 C.F.R. § 5.160(a)(1)(ii), a submission deadline will be extended as specified in the appropriate Assessment Tool applicable to the program participant or lead entity publication to a date that will be no less than 9 months from the date of publication. In the case where a local government or PHA joins a collaboration with the State as a lead entity, the local government or PHA must continue to comply with their respective AFFH certifications applicable prior to the new AFFH rule. For a local government, this means that it must certify that it "will conduct an [Al] within the jurisdiction, take appropriate actions to overcome the effects of any impediments identified through that analysis, and maintain records reflecting the analysis and actions in this regard." Similarly, a PHA is required to examine "programs or proposed programs, identify any impediments to fair housing choice within those programs, address those impediments in a reasonable fashion in view of the resources available and work with local jurisdictions to implement any of the jurisdiction's initiatives to affirmatively further fair housing that require the PHA's involvement and maintain records reflecting these analyses and actions." For those program participants that choose to join a State- or Insular Area-led collaboration, HUD encourages use of the additional tools available under the new AFH framework, as described above, to develop a collaborative Al to help participants in the collaboration meet their AFFH obligations pending the requirement to submit the AFH.

6See AFFH Final Rule at 24 C.F.R. § 5.160(c) ("Collaborative AFHs. All collaborative program participants, whether joint participants or regionally collaborating participants, will select a lead entity and submit the AFH according to

that entity's schedule."). See also, 24 C.F.R. § 5.160(a)(l)(ii), ("If the time frame specified in paragraph (a)(l) of

this [submissions requirements] section would result in a first AFH submission date that is less than 9 months

after the date of publication of the Assessment Tool that is applicable to the program participant or lead entity,

the participant(s)' submission deadline will be extended as specified in that Assessment Tool publication to a date

that will not be less than 9 months from the date of publication of the Assessment Tool.").

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

07/22-23/2017

RETREAT AGENDA SUBJECT: Holding executive sessions in a workshop prior to regular council meeting and taking any necessary action during the regular meeting

BACKGROUND: Staff has noticed a trend starting to appear in other cities in which executive sessions are being conducted prior to the regular meetings, either as a work session or workshop. Any action deemed necessary as a result of the executive session, will take place during the regular meeting. Typically, this will take place at the end of the agenda (as it appears now).

Two positive reasons to consider this change would be the cost savings in legal expenses and consideration wait-time for the public. If the City Attorney is needed only for executive session, and no other matters, then time billed would be for the executive session – not the entire meeting.

In regard to the public, when conducting the executive session prior to the regular meeting, this will save the public from having to sit and wait while discussions are being held. This can sometimes be for an extended period of time, only to then find out no action is being taken as a result of the executive session.

One possible negative could be the earlier start time which may be difficult for some to make. The City Council has conducted eighteen (18) meetings, including special meetings since January, and seven (7) of the eighteen (18) meetings, contained executive sessions.

Staff has spoken with the City Attorney and we have been informed, there are no legal issues that would prevent the City Council from changing this, if Council should so desire.

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

07/22-23/2017

RETREAT AGENDA SUBJECT: Budget (Operations / Capital Projects) BACKGROUND: The General Fund Proposed Budget reflects a reduction in the tax rate of 2.0 cents from 59.90 to 57.90 cents. Our tax base before exemptions is now $4.5B - up 21% for the second year in a row. Average taxable home values have increased by 11.7% from $262,470 to $293,251. New value is approximately $459,000,000 or 10% of total tax base. Sales Taxes and building/development related fees continue to be strong. Total General Fund revenue is projected to be 10% above the current year. Utility revenues are increasing (up 16%), but we remain conservative in our estimates.

Introduction K Friese + Associates (KFA) was retained by the City of Leander (City) to update the current Water and Wastewater Impact Fees as required by State Law. In general, the update calculated the maximum allowable impact fee from the proposed capital improvements plans for both the water and wastewater systems as prescribed in Chapter 395 of the Texas Local Government Code.

The City of Leander is located northwest of Austin in the vicinity of US 183 and FM 2243 in southwestern Williamson County and northwestern Travis County. Leander’s extraterritorial jurisdiction (ETJ) borders the city limits and/or ETJs of Cedar Park, Round Rock, Georgetown, Liberty Hill and Jonestown.

Background Impact fee calculations in this report were based on recent analysis by KFA for the City to project service demand and proposed capital improvements. The capacities of both existing infrastructure and proposed improvements were determined using zoning, population, current utility demand, and existing utility components information provided by the City as well as design criteria, developed by KFA and City staff. The impact fees were calculated based on the capacities and the costs to build the infrastructure.

Impact fees are calculated by adding the costs for existing infrastructure to the costs of proposed infrastructure and dividing the total by the number of living utility equivalents (LUE) served during the study time period. Only the portion of the costs attributable to development that occurs during the study time period may be included in the impact fees. Costs attributable to development either before or after the study period are not included in the impact fee calculation. The study period has been determined to be 2017 (current) to 2027.

Service Area The City of Leander service area, shown in Exhibit 1, includes the City and portions of its Extra-Territorial Jurisdiction (ETJ). The service area is defined by the Certificate of Convenience and Necessity for the City.

Land Use Assumptions The future land use map, included in Exhibit 2, developed for the Comprehensive Plan shows the service area largely consisting of residential land use. Commercial development will be largely located along major transportation corridors and within the Old Town mixed use area, located near US 183 and RM 2243 and the Employment mixed use area located on the northwest corner of Ronald Reagan Boulevard and RM 2243.

There are currently over 14,000 residential lots approved for construction within the service area. These lots are contained within 27 planned subdivisions, with approximately 60 percent located within four: Bryson, Rancho Sienna, Travisso, and Wedemeyer. The smaller subdivisions are expected to be fully developed within the next 10 years and the large subdivisions within 15 years.

The projections were determined based on the future land use map as well as current development trends. The milder slopes characteristic of the Brazos River basin in the east are conducive to more intensive development while land in the Colorado basin tends toward low density, large lot residential development.

Living Unit Equivalents A Living Unit Equivalent is the unit of measure which represents the quantity of water used and wastewater generated by a single-family detached residence. Each developed lot is applied a LUE or LUE factor, shown in Table 1, to determine water demand and wastewater generated. Using these factors, impact fees may be assessed for the different types of development.

Population and LUE Projections The population projections were developed by RS&H as part of the Comprehensive Plan. The LUEs were calculated from the population projections. The difference between the number of LUEs for the water system and wastewater system is due to the difference in service area for the water and wastewater systems. All three types of projections are shown in Table 2.

Table 2: Population and LUE Projections 2015 2017 2020 2025 2027 2035

Population 41,652 46,647 54,139 77,724 84,496 111,582 Water LUEs 12,925 15,759 20,010 28,728 32,342 46,796 Wastewater LUEs 12,901 15,773 20,080 27,395 30,648 43,659

Design Criteria In order to properly model, size, and plan for future facilities, design criteria were established for both water and wastewater. The criteria used for water is shown in Table 3.

Table 3: Water Planning and Design Criteria

Criteria Value

People per connection 3.1 Average Day Demand 263.50 gpd/LUE Maximum Day Demand 702.67 gpd/LUE Peak Hour Demand 1,194.53 gpd/LUE Total Storage 200 gpm/LUE Pump Capacity 0.6 gpm/LUE Maximum Peak Hour Velocity 5 fps

The criteria used for wastewater is shown Table 4.

Table 4: Wastewater Planning and Design Criteria Criteria Value People per connection 3.1 Average Dry Weather Flow (ADWF) 63 gal/person/day Peak Wastewater Flow 252 gallons /person/day Gravity Pipe Minimum Velocity 2 fps Gravity Pipe Maximum Velocity 10 fps Force Main Minimum Velocity 3 fps Force Main Maximum Velocity 6 fps

The criteria shown above were used to calculate the capacity of each planned project for each system.

Existing Water and Wastewater System The Leander water system comprises two water treatment plants, two pump stations, numerous pressure reducing valve (PRV) stations, numerous individual service PRVs, two ground storage tanks, two elevated storage tanks, and 171 miles of piping. The Leander wastewater system consists of two wastewater treatment plants, eleven lift stations, and five main interceptors, 154 miles of gravity mains, and 10 miles of force mains.

Information in Table 5 and Table 6 was provided by the City. Improvements paid for by the City of Leander that have capacity for development during the study period have been included in these tables. The cost for each project attributed to development during the study period is shown in the final column. The total cost attributed to development between 2017 and 2027 is $64,196,968 for water and $18,413,469 for wastewater.

Proposed Improvements The proposed improvements to the water and wastewater systems are summarized in Table 7 and Table 8, respectively. The improvements for each system are shown graphically in Exhibit 3 and Exhibit 4. Inflation of the construction costs, based on the estimated year of construction, has been incorporated at a rate of three percent (3%) per year. The capacity of each proposed improvement used before, during, and after the study period has been determined and the adjusted construction cost calculated. The adjusted cost for each project during the study period has been included in the maximum allowable impact fee. The total cost for new water system improvements attributed to development between 2017 and 2027 is $43,694,977, while the costs for wastewater is $29,807,121.

Credit Calculation In order to account for the fact that customers rate payments include amounts used to retire debt, the impact fee calculation must include a determination of the remaining debt service payback for existing users. Table 9 and Table 10 show the credit calculation for the water system and wastewater system, respectively. A bonding cost of 1.5% was added to the capital costs for future projects to account for cost associated with the bond attorney and publishing. The total debt principal remaining per current LUEs for the water system is $2,198.59 and for the wastewater system is $423.45. These are the credits for each system that must be included in the impact fee calculation to represent the rate payments of future customers that will service the debt of the utilities.

Maximum Allowable Impact Fees The impact fee consists of the costs attributable to development during the study period for existing and proposed improvements as well as the allocated impact fee study cost. These costs are then divided by the number of LUEs projected to connect to the systems during the study period.

Utility customers pay for capital improvements in two ways: initially through the up-front impact fee and over the long term through utility rate payments. The law governing impact fee calculation was amended in 2001 to include a credit for this portion of the costs that is paid through rates. This study includes the credit as calculated in Table 9 and Table 10. The credit, along with the costs for existing infrastructure, proposed projects, and the study cost is shown in Table 11. Based on this, the maximum allowable impact fee is $3,729.39 for water, $2,888.15 for wastewater, which when summed gives a total fee of $6,617.54. The City of Leander can assess and collect any amount up to these figures.

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

07/22-23/2017

RETREAT AGENDA SUBJECT: Water/Sewer Rate Study

BACKGROUND: In March 2017, staff engaged Willdan Financial Services to perform our water rate study. Our previous consultant, Rim Rock Consulting, retired last year. We have since provided the new consultant historical consumption and sales information as well as other meter data, budget information, etc.

Their model is 95% complete and a rate adjustment this year is not anticipated and potentially may not be needed in the near future based upon current growth projections and assumptions. However, it is too early in the analysis to make firm commitments until everything is completed.

In mid-August, the consultant should have a draft report ready for staff review. A full presentation to City Council could be made in September. Even though no rate increases are anticipated, there will be some recommended changes to the water and sewer rate ordinance.

For example, the ordinance will need to reflect the agreement with the City of Georgetown that certain customers in Rancho Sienna are "grandfathered" i.e., as long as those customers remain at their current location, their rates will mirror City of Georgetown rates. Another recommendation, also in light of the Rancho Sienna agreement would be to have the same base rate for 5/8" and 3/4" meters. This change would apply to all customers, not just those in Rancho Sienna. If approved, 3/4" meters would have the same rate as a 5/8". Existing customers would see a reduction in their monthly base rate as a result. Note - this also will affect our Impact Fee rates.

Another change to be recommended will be to address compound meters that are installed due to fire flow requirements on commercial property, including apartments. At present, we've been handling these situations by agreements approved at the City Council level. These agreements fix the monthly charge for a compound meter based upon the smaller (low flow) side of the meter (and therefore a lower rate) rather than the larger (high flow) side. This allows the owner to incorporate the required fire protection system into the overall plumbing and not be penalized with a higher monthly charge.

Other recommendations may be forthcoming, but these are a couple of highlights.

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

07/22-23/2017

RETREAT AGENDA SUBJECT: Deep Water Intake Phase 2

BACKGROUND: The attached Resolution was approved by City Council on August 18, 2016 in support for the BCRUA Phase 1C Project for funding, design, bidding, and construction of Water Treatment Plant (WTP) and Raw Water Barge improvements, which will provide the BCRUA WTP with a firm capacity of 30 MGD. Please note that Phase 1B in underway consisting of a Re-rate Study proving the success of higher filter loading rates, which should provide a firm capacity of 22 MGD without any required construction additions or modifications. This Resolution also established the City’s position at that time in 2016 on the BCRUA Phase 2 Deep Water Intake Project, i.e., the City did not support proceeding with the funding, final design, bidding, and construction of the Phase 2 Deep Water Intake Project at that time.

The Resolution also provides for a re-evaluation of the City’s positions on the Phase 2 Deep Water Intake Project in July of 2017. As of June of 2017, the City of Leander had 15,564 water connections of which 14,716 were single family residential connections. Without the Deep Water Intake, the BCRUA Water Treatment Plant’s (WTP) capacity is limited to the 30 MGD available from the BCRUA Interim Raw Water Barge with Leander’s share being 14 MDG of the 30 MGD. With Sandy Creek WTP’s 12 MGD, Leander’s total water treatment capacity will be 26 MGD. Projected water demands for 2026 are at or above 26 MGD and the Deep Water Intake will be needed at that time to avoid potentially serious water use restrictions.

The TWDB offers a loan program for the design of water facilities that defers any and all loan repayments without accrual of interest or penalties for a maximum period of eight (8) years or until such time as the subject facilities are completed and placed intooperation. At the upcoming August 3, 2017, Council Meeting, City staff will present forCouncil’s consideration a resolution authorizing the BCRUA General Manager tocommence the pre-application and final application process for Phase 2 Deep WaterIntake Final Design (ONLY!) beginning with the next TWDB application cycle inJanuary of 2018. Should such application be successful, funds should be available byJanuary of 2019 to commence the final design of the Phase 2 Deep Water Intake.

97

FINANCIAL CONSIDERATION: Leander’s estimated share Phase 2 Final Design Cost through TWDB Deferred Loan funds is $8M.

COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT BLOCK GRANT PROGRAM

ENTITLEMENT PROGRAM

FACT SHEET

The program provides annual grants on a formula basis to entitled cities and counties to develop viable urban communities by providing decent housing and

a suitable living environment, and by expanding economic opportunities, principally for low- and moderate-income persons.

,I Grantee Eligibility ,/ Requirements ,/ Citizen Participation

,/ Legal Authority/Information Sources

HUD awards grants to entitlement communities to carry out a wide range of community development activities directed toward revitalizing neighbor-hoods,

econonnc development, and providing improved community facilities and

services.

Entitlement communities develop their own programs and funding priorities.

However, grantees must give maximum feasible priority to activities which benefit low- and moderate-income persons. A grantee may also carry out activities which aid in the prevention or elimination of slums or blight, or to

which it certifies are designed to meet other community development needs

having a particular urgency because existing conditions pose a serious and

immediate threat to the health or welfare of the community where other

financial resources are not available to meet such needs. CDBG funds may not be used for activities which do not meet these broad national objectives.

CDBG funds may be used for activities which include, but are not limited to:

•!• Acquisition of real property;

•!• Relocation and demolition;

•!• Rehabilitation of residential and non-residential structures; •!• Construction of public facilities and improvements, such as water and

sewer facilities, streets, neighborhood centers, and the conversion of

school buildings for eligible purposes; •!• Public services, within certain limits;

•!• Activities relating to energy conservation and renewable energy

resources; and

Eligibility

Requirements

Citizen

•:• Providing assistance to profit-motivated businesses to carry out

economic development and job creation/retention activities.

Generally, the following types of activities are ineligible: acquisition,

construction, or reconstruction of buildings for the general conduct of

government; political activities; certain income payments and construction of

new housing by units of general local government.

Central cities of Metropolitan Statistical Areas (MSAs ), other metropolitan

cities with populations of at least 50,000, and qualified urban counties with

populations of at least 200,000 ( excluding the population of entitled cities)

are entitled to receive annual grants. HUD determines the amount of each

entitlement grant by a statutory dual formula which uses several objective

measures of community needs, including the extent of poverty, population,

housing overcrowding, age of housing, and population growth lag in

relationship to other metropolitan areas.

To receive its annual CDBG entitlement grant, a grantee must develop and

submit to HUD its Consolidated Plan, (which is a jurisdiction's

comprehensive planning document and application for funding under the

following Community Planning and Development formula grant programs:

CDBG, HOME Investment Partnerships, Housing Opportunities for Persons

with AIDS (HOPWA), and Emergency Shelter Grants (ESG)). In its

Consolidated Plan, the jurisdiction must identify its goals for these programs,

as well as for housing programs. The goals will serve as the criteria against

which HUD will evaluate a jurisdiction's Plan and its performance under the

Plan. Also, the Consolidated Plan must include several required

certifications, including the certification that not less than 70% of the CDBG

funds received, over a one, two, or three year period specified by the grantee,

will be used for activities that benefit low- and moderate-income persons,

and that the grantee will affirmatively further fair housing. HUD will

approve a Consolidated Plan submission unless the Plan ( or a portion of it) is

inconsistent with the purposes of the National Affordable Housing Act or is

substantially incomplete.

Following approval, the Department will make a full grant award unless the

Secretary has made a determination that the grantee: (1) has failed to carry

out its CDBG-assisted activities in a timely manner; (2) has failed to carry

out those activities and its certifications in accordance with the requirements

and the primary objectives of Title I of the Housing and Community

Development Act of 1974, as amended, and with other applicable laws; or

(3) lacks a continuing capacity to carry out its CDBG-assisted activities in a

timely manner.

A grantee must develop and follow a detailed plan which provides for and

encourages citizen participation and which emphasizes participation by

persons of low- or moderate-income, particularly residents of predominantly

low- and moderate-income neighborhoods, slum or blighted areas, and areas

in which the grantee proposes to use CDBG funds. The plan must: provide

citizens with reasonable and timely access to local meetings, information,

and records related to the grantee's proposed and actual use of funds;

provide for public hearings to obtain citizen views and to respond to

proposals and questions at all stages of the community development

program, including at least the development of needs, the review of proposed

activities, and the review of program performance; provide for timely written

answers to written complaints and grievances; and identify how the needs of

non-English speaking residents will be met in the case of public hearings

where a significant number of non-English speaking residents can be

reasonably expected to participate.

RETREAT AGENDA SUBJECT: Golf Course Update

BACKGROUND: Staff has reviewed the recommendations in the Billy Casper Golf Course Report regarding the maintenance and operations at the Crystal Falls Golf Course. The attached documents will outline the status of implementation of the recommendations.

Billy Casper Crystal Falls Golf Course Recommendations

Initiative Item(s) Completed

Not Completed Notes/Adjustments

Area 1 - GREENS Objective Greens are to be maintained year round. With the

exception of unforeseen events, the greens should be consistent throughout the year, rolling around 10 in the summer and 11-12 in the winter. Greens are USGA spec and have Tifdwarf Bermudagrass as the putting surface. There is no plan to over seed greens. There are no subsurface issues at the present time.

X Greens are always maintained year round. We adjust all practices as weather, staff, and unforeseen events happen. The greens are the top reason patrons come to play our course. Weather changes and as it dose we do the best humanly possible to produce a great green for all to enjoy. Notice ALL is the goal not the select few that want fast greens all the time. Our green speed goal is NOT what Billy Casper recommends our green speeds to be. Billy Casper recommendations for the green speed is a copy paste of there course recommendation template. They did not keep in mind that we have very contoured greens and if mowing heigths on our greens are to low it impacts turf health that compounds into playiblity/qualitiy. This is why Crystal Falls green speed goals are 8.5" to 9.5" for regular play during the growing season of TifDwarf and during the winter green speeds of 9 to 10. Green speeds of 10 plus we do not have many fair hole placement locations which will limit our ability to manage green traffic and quality. On the over seed plan yes we have always had one! We overseed the greens with poa trivialis which the USGA recommends for TifDwarf greens in the winter months to protect our base grass from winter wear, and to control green speeds during the winter months.

Goals 1. Maintain 100% coverage year round X 2. Combat encroachment of 419 on greens

perimetersNA NA Not applicable. This is for a course with bent grass greens.

Maybe a copy paste from BCG template 3. Work on subsurface soil conditioning for long

term healthX We have always done this in past years with core aeration. Now

we use the new Air2G2 aerator. Last year we did not have as a severe impact on the putting surface in the early spring season. We were still able to aerate the greens with very little disruption to playing golf. It also allowed us to core aerate when we have better weather conditions for a faster recovery time.

4. Eradicate Goose grass pressures on all greens X Goose grass is our #1 target weed in the greens. With careful planning we will get better control on the weed this coming year. It will not be an easy or fast fix, this could take a few seasons to get "eradicate" control. Industry wide we are all looking for better ways to manage goose grass. Our chemical control choices are

130

very limited on use for the greens. Keep in mind yes we can kill/control goose grass with extreme caution not to kill or damage our TifDwarf greens.

Procedure 1 MOWING Frequency – Mowing procedures have gone to an as needed schedule. During the growing season 6-7 mowing’s per week are scheduled. From November to March we will not mow greens as frequently and roll instead.

X Greens management is a careful balance of mowing vs rolling for different factors such as weather conditions, amount of play, and staff.

Pattern – Mowing direction is rotated daily based upon the “clock schedule”…6-12, 8-2, 3- 9, 10-4. The clean-up pass is mowed with a walk mower, typically 3 days during the summer and as needed in the cooler months.

X We have had a "clock schedule" mowing rotation since 2003. We do not have and have never had walk mowers. We do not mow clean up pass every day. Our clean up passes are every other day and dependent on conditions.

Height – Mowing height fluctuates throughout the year based on the health of the greens and weather patterns. While speed is a concern, the health is a priority. The height of cut is typically .150”. After aerification in June the height may be raised slightly

X We have always watched the health of the greens and adjusted the height depending on our cultural practices, weather patterns and time of the season.

Training – Operators are trained by Superintendent, Assistant, or foreman. They first sit and watch an instructional video, when applicable, and then are given a briefing by our mechanic on how and what to check and on the basic operation of the piece of equipment before starting it up. The trainer then takes the operator out for hands on training. Maintenance training sign off sheets will be completed when the trainer is confident of the employee’s ability to operate the equipment safely and correctly.

X Our training is ongoing and continued. We strive to learn and implement the best management practices available to keep our greens in good condition for our patrons to enjoy.

Triplex/ Walkmow – Greens are triplex mowed throughout the year. Walkers are used to complete the perimeter pass on all greens. Walkmowers are also used on wear or stress related greens. This is most applicable during the winter months where sunlight is insufficient.

X We do not have walk mowers. We roll in place of walk mowing for stress related greens.

131

Clippings – Clippings are gathered daily throughout the year. Buckets are left off after a granular fertilization application and topdressing to minimize mower pickup.

X We have always done this for many years.

Rolling - The Superintendent may choose to roll greens in lieu of or in conjunction with mowing so proper speeds can be maintained. Also, rolling may be necessary in addition to mowing in the case of a special tournament or outing. Rolling is also performed following an aerification to help smooth out the surface.

X We also roll more when weather stresses of winter when low grass blade growth would not have anything for the mower to cut. Also in the heat of summer to help keep the greens in better health we will roll in place of mowing.

Rain/weather – In the event of excessive rain, mowing may not take place in order to eliminate turf damage. Scalping is a direct result of wet conditions. The greens perk well so we would only need to squeegee them in the event of a major event where restarting or continuing play is a major concern.

X Weather events of rain we have always adjusted well to keep our greens in as good condition that weather allows.

Procedure 2 SCOUTING Greens are inspected daily by the Superintendent, Assistant, Technician, and other key supervisors for:

• Quality of cut• Disease/weeds• Moisture• Insect presence• Proper pin location and setting• Vandalism• Items out of the ordinary

XX Greens are always inspected daily.

Procedure 3 BALLMARKS During cup changing we do as many as time allows. Ball marks are addressed by course set-up personnel and greens mowers. Employees are encourage to repair as many ball marks as possible, but realization is that not all can be repaired and some may remain

X Along with the employees doing what we can with time pressures to course set up we do have a few course marshalls and volunteers that help us.

Procedure 4 VERTICUTTING/GROOMING With Tifdwarf greens, it is best to get into a X We will start verticutting the greens based on plant health. As

132

verticutting schedule during the months of May- September. The goal is to verticut 4 – 6 times during that period. We will go down to ¼” positive at 1” spacing during our first aerification. A second direction will also be done at 1/8” positive. This process will be done two more times throughout the summer. Lighter verticutting may be necessary in between these more aggressive verticuttings to further help with grain and thatch.

we all know weather in central Texas can change and you can not stamp a date on when you will be able to start in the spring. On average April sometimes as early as March verticutting can start. Need to take note in the hot month of August sometimes plant health will not allow verticutting. Verticut spacing width is set at 1". Depth of verticut will again depend on the plant health. Something that Billy Casper golf left out is you need to use the "clock system" for your verticutting so your not verticutting same direction every time you verticut. We have always used this system during my tenure here. Also we verticut both directions to aid in getting a true verticut.(example verticut direction from 6 o'clock to 12 and then return back on the same pass from 12 to 6) Also we have groomers on one of the greens mowers that weuse during the growing season to aid in smoothness. Frequencyof grooming again is based on plant health.

Procedure 5 SAND TOPDRESSING Sand is applied to improve surface smoothness and to breakdown the thatch. Best practice is to lightly dust the greens during the same time frame as the verticutting. Typically best to topdress right behind the verticutting to make sure the sand gets into the target thatch layer. During core aeration a heavy topdress will be applied to properly fill the holes creating channels for gas exchange and water movement

X We would like to topdress right after verticutting but with limited staff this is difficult to accomplish. Verticutter, Greens Mower, detail/cup changer/blower, Topdresser, roll in or drag in topdress = 5 staff and would still need staff to mow tees/collars, fairways, 2 rough mowers in the morning. So we schedule topdressing to follow as staffing allows.

Procedure 6 CORE AERATION Core aeration plays a pivotal role in the long term health of the greens. It is critical that core aeration be completed at pulling a ½” core plug

X We adjust our aeration hole and spacing size based of testing.

Procedure 7 LEAF AND DEBRIS REMOVAL Greens are inspected prior to mowing by each operator. If there is any debris present (sticks, tees, spikes…), they are instructed to remove it and begin mowing. If there is a heavy amount of leaves/debris on the putting surface, than we will send an operator out with a blower ahead of the mowers to remove it

X We have a task everyday called Detail. The detail employee is the leaf and debris removal operator for the day along with other task for this operation. The detail employee helps any of the mowers clean (sticks, tees, rocks..) off of the area that the mowers will for that day.

133

Procedure 8 FERTILITY Greens are fertilized with a foliar application once a week dependent on temperatures and weather patterns. Prior to the 2 aerifications a granular will be applied to supply adequate fertility to compensate for cultural practices as well as create an opportunity to amend the soil.

X We are on a bi-weekly sprayable program of green fertility with monthly soil amendments during the growing season based on soil testing science. Granulars are used before aerifications to speed up healing and soil amendment.

Procedure 9 HOLE LOCATIONS Use a front, middle, back pin location that moves from front to back with set-up personal responsible for the designation of hole location. Change cups daily to alleviate wear around the green

X Hole locations are based on playablity and health of the green area. We have severely undulated greens and with fast green speeds the hole locations can become very limited and challenging. Hole locations are designated with staff interpretation of the playability/smoothness/plant health of the location hole is set. During the weekdays we choose more challenging hole locations to save the less challenging for higher volume weekends to reduce wear. We use the smaller flag (repair ball marks flag) to show hole location from the fairway. (small flag at the top part, hole in the back of green. Small flag in the middle of the flagstick hole in the middle of the green. Small flag on the lower part of the flagstick, hole in the front part of ther green) Hole changing schedule currently is Tuesday, Thursday, Saturday, Sunday dependent on amount of play, staffing, and weather conditions.

Procedure 10 SYRINGING/HANDWATERING/OVERHEAD WATERING Hand watering greens is done periodically throughout the year. Overhead watering is done as needed with percentages fluctuated daily depending on current and extended forecasts. Individual head control is obtainable with greens monitored daily and individual percentages adjusted up or down. Rain – Rely on the rain from Mother Nature and the wells to stock ponds throughout the year to supply us with our water to irrigate the golf course.

X On rain. Our heavy dependence on the rain to fill ponds for irrigation is no more. We have effluent water now to irrigate as needed where in the past our course to have fairways and rough was dependent on rain and well water.

Area 2 - TEES, COLLARS AND APPROACHES Objective Tees are maintained year round. With the exception

of unforeseen events, the tees should be consistent X Tees and collars are always maintained year round. We adjust

all practices as weather, staff, and unforseen events happen. The Tees and collars are overseeded with Perennial ryegrass in

134

throughout course. Tees have a base grass of 419 Bermudagrass. The main objective for the tees is to present a clean, level surface to tee off from.

the winter months for effluent water use, wear tolerance, and playability in the winter. Weather changes and as it dose we do the best humanly possible to produce great tees for all to enjoy. We inspect, clean up broken tees, debris, and move tee markers to spread out wear and traffic on the Tees for better long term quality.

Goals 1. Maintain a healthy, smooth, consistentstand of turf to tee from.

X

2. 5/8” core aerate tees twice this season. We core aerate in the spring and solid tine in late summer. 3. Create a plan to start leveling tee surfaces We are going to need plan on late July and early August which

tees need the most attention. Then we can 1) sod cut off the turf off of the tee to reuse the turf 2) regrade the surface area soil. 3) replace the sod.

Procedure 1 MOWING a. Frequency – Tees are mowed twice a weekthroughout the year.b. Height - Mowing height is typically .500throughout the year. We will lower the height down as we go through transition in the Spring and raise them up periodically in summer and lower them back down again prior to overseed. c. Direction – Mowing direction is alternatedbetween mowings based on a “clock setting”, 8- 2,6-12 and 10-4

XX We have been mowing tees and collars 3 times per week. Some adjustments to mowing frequency are made do to weather such as frost delays in the winter and heat stress in the summer.

Our Mowing heights are .350” to .500” range depending on plant health and time of season.

We have always used the clock system of mowing (12-6,2-8,10-4) with clean up pass alternating clock wise or counter clockwise.

Procedure 2 SCOUTING Tee Markers – Tee markers are checked daily during course set up. On days that we mow, the first one there between the tee mower and the setup employee moves them off, and the second sets them back on. Alignment – Tees are placed on to line the golfer up at the center of the fairway/landing area and to the middle of the green on par threes. We teach the T-Square method. Rotation – If pin is located in the back, then tees are placed forward; if pin is in the front, then tees are placed back; and if pin is middle,

XXXXX We have always done this with tee markers.

With Alignment we have always done this. For new employees and training we have made a tee square to help them learn alignment the proper way.

Rotation. I do not agree with this recommendation! Rotation of the tee placement should not be limited to where the pin locations are. Good tee placement has 3 important factors. 1) Tee turf condition. Need to spread and equal out the ware traffic. 2) Pace of play. A blend of front , back, and middle tee locationbalance pace of play. 3) Prevailing wind direction.

Location, Spacing, and Rotation need to be together.

135

then the tees are middle. Spacing – All tees are spaced 6 paces apart and placed on a healthy stand of turf. Location – The course setup employee is responsible for deciding the location of the markers. He picks the cleanest spot every day. On weekends, tees are set up with pace of play in mind…easy = better scores = faster rounds = happier golfers…

Procedure 3 AERATION/VERTICUTTING Aerification takes place in the early and late summer. Verticutting will be scheduled as needed.

X Tee and collar aerification takes place late March to April depending on the weather. With verticutting we have done as needed which most of the time is two times per growing season on average.

Procedure 4 SAND TOPDRESSING Topdressing takes place in conjunction with aerification in the summer. Divots are filled periodically throughout the year by hand as part of routine maintenance.

X Topdressing divots on tees is done by hand on par 3’s as needed.

Procedure 5 FERTILITY Our goal is to get 3-4 lbs. of N on the tees throughout the growing season. Spring application will be a pound of N, in the form of Polyon. Subsequent applications will come from organic fertilizer.

X Tees are on a liquid fertility program with some slow release granular. Polyon is only one of many types of slow release N that we can use. The lbs. of N applied to the tees per year is better set with the science of soil testing. It would be a waste to over fertilize and not use science.

Procedure 6 PLANT PROTECTANTS/WEED AND INSECT CONTROL Tees are included in our course pre-emerge program and remain relatively weed free throughout the year. Any weed that may breakthrough is spot treated with the proper herbicide. The tees will also be included in this year’s program. Any worm activity will be treated with either acephate (orthene) or lambda- cyhalothrin (Scimitar). Any fire ant activity will be treated with the Texas two-step. Growth regulators applications are made in the summer months for reduced clipping yield and

X Tees we have a pre-emerge program for weed control. We also have grub and fire and plans in place to control these pests as well. Growth regulators on tees is a tool I prefer to use only if needed. You can manage clipping yield with the proper application of fertility using the science of soil testing saving dollars on the cost of growth regulators.

136

increased turf density. Procedure 7 LABORATORY TESTS

Soil tests will be performed once per year. X We test soils one time per year and any other time we need to identify a problem with the tees.

Procedure 8 LEAF AND DEBRIS REMOVAL Broken tees and such are picked up as part of the course setup responsibility and any extremely covered tees are blown off as needed.

X Broken tees, cigarette buds, leafs, sticks, limbs, and other debris area all pick up or blown off daily and as needed to clean teeing ground.

Procedure 9 SYRINGING/HAND WATERING/OVERHEAD WATERING Tees are irrigated with overhead irrigation during nighttime irrigation cycles. With individual percentages adjusted to compensate for soil profile.

X Some tees need hand watered if heat stress starts to show in the health of the turf which happens with consistent Temps above 97 degrees .

Area 3 FAIRWAYS Objective Fairways are maintained year round. With the

exception of unforeseen events, the fairways should be consistent throughout course. Fairways have a base grass of 419 bermudagrass. The main objective for the fairways is to present a clean, consistent and fair lie to hit from. Efforts will also be made to create more definition between fairways and roughs.

X This has been our standard for all the years of my tenure here.

Goals 1. Maintain consistent perimeter lines andoriginal fairway boundaries

X

2. Maintain weed free fairways We have a good pre-emerge program in place that helps keep weed populations under control. Our main weed to control with our spot spraying program is dallas grass and goose grass in the summer. We have runoff areas that the weeds can travel into our lower fairways such as 4,6,7,9,10,12,13,17 from the surrounding area.

3. Continue to remove rocks in fairways whenpossible.


4. Focus on creating better definition betweenfairways and roughs.


Procedure 1 MOWING a. Frequency – Fairways are mowed two times

a week throughout the year unlessX

137

tournaments or weather dictate otherwise. b. Height - In order to match up the

tee/approachmowers, mowing height for the fairways

range from .500 to .625 depending on thetime of year.

c. Direction – As with the tee mowers,mowing directionis alternated between mowings based on a

“clock setting”, 8-2 and 10-4 and 12-6, wewill also use 1/2 and 1/2 direction.

Procedure 2 SCOUTING Along with the Superintendent and Assistant, operators are responsible for keeping an eye out for anything out of the ordinary on the fairways. They get the chance to see every square inch of every fairway twice a week.

X Our scouting of the course is always daily and ongoing.

Procedure 3 AERATION/VERTICUTTING Fairways will be sliced periodically during the season. The heaving rock content of the soil inhibits traditional hollow or solid core aerations.

X We start the season with a fairway slicing/aeration and verticutting in late March. I heavy traffic areas as needed we will slice those areas to reduce soil compaction for better air and water infiltration. Verticutting is as needed which is most of the time 2-3 times per year.

Procedure 4 DIVOT REPAIR Divots in the fairways are the responsibility of the golfers.

X Some areas of the fairways it would be nice if sand was on the carts for the golfers to help fill the divots. When we have a chance some hole need attention with hand filling divots such as 18 150-80 yards, 17,10, 7 lay up area 100-150 yards,3 near 100 yards. Another help would be if the course marshals could help fill divots on slower days.

Procedure 5 LEAF AND DEBRIS REMOVAL Any large debris like tree limbs are picked up prior to mowing. Leaves and clippings are blown on an as needed basis.

X Our daily task of detail limbs, leafs, and other debris are cleaned off the fairways.

Procedure 6 FERTILITY

138

As with the tees, our goal is to get 3-4 lbs of N on the fairways throughout the growing season, depending on how much rain we get. Spring green up application will be a pound of N in the form of Polyon. Subsequent applications of N will be in the form of liquids in conjunction with our growth regulator applications.

X The science of soil testing saving dollars on using the right fertility. Lbs. of N on the fairway are based on the soil test, and clipping yields. Growth regulators on fairways is a tool I prefer to use only if needed.

Procedure 7 PLANT PROTECTANTS/WEED AND INSECT CONTROL We Primo in the summer months to reduce clipping yield and increase turf density. Weeds are controlled through our pre-emerge program in the spring. The only weed really that isn’t controlled by the program is sedge which is posted out as it shows up. Any other breakthrough that may occur is also treated accordingly. In 2016, all fairways will be included in our preventative mole cricket application.

X Let me start with explaining what primo is. This is a growth regulator. Again growth regulators on fairways is a tool I prefer to use only if needed. You can manage clipping yield with the proper application of fertility using the science of soil testing saving dollars on the cost of growth regulators.

We have a pre-emergent plan in place and if any weeds breakthrough we have a spot treatment plan in place as well. We also have a program for fire ants and grub control. With good grub control it helps us to minimize feral hog damage.

Procedure 8 LABORATORY TESTS Samples will be taken once per year. X

Procedure 9 SYRINGING/HAND WATERING/OVERHEAD WATERING No handwatering is done in fairways. If any areas show signs of wilt throughout the year, the overheads are turned on. We have Toro E- Osmac which gives us relatively precise control of heads. All other irrigation is done as scheduled by the Superintendent or Assistant. Individual heads are adjusted up or down to compensate for soil makeup.

X We have a very hilly course and some of the fairway areas need some hand watering to make it during high summer temps.

Procedure 10 RAIN

139

As with tees, the biggest issues we have from rain are from the washed up chaff that pile up around drains and in wind rows after a hard down pour. We drag the piles and blow them clean when they dry out. The golf course drains well and only have 4 holes that typically stay CPO for a day after the rain stops.

X We have rain clean up after a rain event of 1.5” and up. Most of the rain clean up is done with the buffalo blower. We have leaves, chaff, and trash from the surrounding area flow onto the course that require us to clean up. Up to 3” of rain the back 9 is not passable by cart and has to be closed until the creek waters return to normal on #10,17,13 to allow play.

Area 4 ROUGHS Objective The objective for the rough at Crystal Falls is to

provide a fair yet challenging shot if a golfer misses the fairway or green. It should cause, on average, a ½ stroke penalty…meaning that the golfer should have a shot at the green if he/she finds the rough.


Goals 1. Keep established definition from fairway torough throughout the year

X In drought years it may not be possible.

2. Minimize wear patterns along cart pathsedges throughout golf course

X With good cart traffic control with signage, and ropes this can happen.

3. Eliminate weed population X Always a work in progress. 4. Install drainage where necessary X We have not installed drainage. Not in budget.

Procedure 1 MOWING AND TRIM WORK a. Height – Mowing height fluctuates

throughout the year with as low as 2inches in the spring to 2 1/2 inches inthe fall and winter. Summer height istypically 2 inches.

b. Frequency - Right now we are able to get 18holes mowed a week.

X

Procedure 2 SCOUTING Along with the superintendent and the Assistant, it is the operator’s responsibility to keep an eye out for anything out of the ordinary.

X Our scouting of the course is always daily and ongoing.

140

Procedure 3 FERTILITY Our goal is to get 2lbs of N on the rough throughout the year. The majority of that comes from our spring application of Polyon. The remainder is from subsequent applications of liquid fertilizer from fertigation.

X We do not have fertigation anymore. Fertility is applied as needed.

Procedure 4 PLANT PROTECTANTS/WEED AND INSECT CONTROL Goose and Crabgrass are controlled throughout the year with our spring pre-emerge program. We will spray the roughs this year with simazine to control the poa annua as well as many winter annuals that may pop up. Any other weeds that show up or break through will be posted out accordingly

X We have a pre-emergent plan in place and if any weeds breakthrough we have a spot treatment plan in place as well. We also have a program for fire ants and grub control. With good grub control it helps us to minimize feral hog damage.

Procedure 5 LABORATORY TESTS No testing will be done unless an issue arises that needs to be addressed.

X

Procedure 6 LEAF AND DEBRIS REMOVAL Any large debris is removed before mowing. All other debris is mulched up with the rough mower and then clipping are scattered/blown off.


Procedure 7 CORE AERATION Roughs are not aerified with the only exception being compacted traffic areas will be sliced.

X Core aeration of the roughs is not possible with the subsurface rock we have. Only slicing is what we do when needed for aerification of roughs.

Procedure 8 SYRINGING/HANDWATERING/OVERHEAD WATERING No hand watering is done in the rough. If any hotspots show up, they are hit with overhead irrigation. All other watering is done at night as scheduled by the Superintendent or Assistant.

X We have a very hilly course and some of the rough areas need some hand watering to make it during high summer temps. With greens, tees, fairways in this order are taken care of 1st.

Area 5 SKIPPED IN BOOK Area 6 CLUBHOUSE GROUNDS/ENTRANCE ROAD/PARKING

LOT Objective Clubhouse grounds are the first area our guest

judges us on as they enter our properties. They deserve as much care as any other part of the golf

X

141

course. First impressions are everything. The Bermuda grass grounds are maintained year round.

Goals 1. Develop and implement a schedule forproper time allotment for pesticide controlon Bermuda grass

X

2. Grow a stronger, healthier stand of turfthrough weed eradication and nutrition.

X

Procedure 1 DEBRIS REMOVAL FREQUENCY Clubhouse grounds are checked and cleaned daily. X

Procedure 2 MOWING FREQUENCY Grounds are mowed once a week during the growing season and as needed during the winter to maintain a neat appearance.

X

Procedure 3 PLANTING PLAN/FREQUENCY Annuals are changed out two times a year. X We do not plant annuals. Our shrubs and plants are Texas

hardy and deer resistant. Procedure 4 OVERALL DETAIL

i. Beds – Beds are cleaned as part of theroutine maintenance. Weeds are treated bothchemically and hand pulled. Edges are definedwith stick edgers and scuffle hoes if needed.ii. Grass areas – Grass areas are mowed once a

week year at 2” with a rotary mulchingmower.

iii. Tree pruning – Shrubs and trees are prunedas needed to maintain the cleanappearance.

iv. Cart staging area – The staging area isdirectly beside the entrance to the Pro shopwhich is very convenient. It is checked dailyby maintenance and cart staff and keptclean to ensure a positive experience forour guests.

X

Procedure 5 SIGNAGE The signage around the clubhouse is kept as clean as possible. We check them daily as we go through the

X

142

area and detail them as we detail the course throughout year.

Area 7 ON-COURSE-LANDSCAPING Objective The landscaping on the course can be broken down

into two main areas…natural and ornamental. Both are maintained year round. All the landscaping plays a role in the overall flow of the course.

X On holes #1,5,9,16,18 we have some landscaping.

Goals 1. Maintain beds to minimize the intrusion ofunwanted plant material

X

2. Maintain natural areas free of undesirableplant material.

X

2. Explore the option of defining out of playareas with stacked rock walls.

X

Procedure 1 PRUNING All ornamental beds and shrub lines are pruned as needed throughout the year to maintain clean and defined lines. Trees/plants that border paths are edged periodically to keep the paths clear for traffic.

X

Procedure 2 WEEDING Beds are kept clean with a combination of chemical applications and by hand where necessary. All of the beds are sprayed over the top in the summer months. In the winter a pre-emergent will be applied.

X

Procedure 3 MULCHING We touch up the tee sign beds year round with mulch and around the course, beds are kept free of weeds and beds closest to the range and putting green get pine straw once a year.

X

Procedure 4 LEAF AND DEBRIS REMOVAL Any debris is picked up throughout the year as needed. . Any other debris (cigarette butts, broken tees.) are picked up by the setup and course detail employees as they go through the course.

X

Procedure 5 SYRINGING/HANDWATERING/OVERHEAD

143

WATERING Hand watering is used to establish new plantings around property. Once the plant is established, than they rely on rain and overhead watering from our irrigation.

X

Area 8 SKIPPED IN BOOK Area 9 GOLF COURSE ACCESSORIES Objective All golf course accessories should ultimately add to

the golfer’s experience. Too many can be unsightly and too little can be frustrating to a guest who has to go out of his way to find something. There should be a balance to fit their needs.


Goals 1. Maintain neat and organized appearance andpresentation with all golf course accessories


Procedure 1 CLEANLINESS/MAINTENANCE/REMOVAL AND REPLACEMENT All accessories are checked daily by the employee assigned to course set up. Any item that is broken or in disrepair is removed from the course and replaced with a backup.


Procedure 2 COURSE MARKING ITEMS AND UPKEEP Course markings are checked daily by staff and replaced as necessary. We repaint hazard stakes as long as they are in good shape and replace them as they wear out.


Procedure 3 POSTS AND ROPE/TRAFFIC CONTROL MANAGEMENT We use ropes to control traffic around the course. They are checked daily by our setup personnel and moved accordingly. Cart path only is alternated between 4 holes if needed during drought conditions or winter months limited with growth.


144

Area 10 IRRIGATION Objective The objective with the irrigation at Crystal Falls is the

same as any other golf course…To supplement Mother Nature during deficiencies in rainfall.

X Yes irrigation is to supplement Mother Nature, yet Crystal Falls is NOT just any other golf course. Hills, subsurface soil areas are a challenge and if you treat it like any other golf course you will fail in keeping it green.

Goals 1. Monitor soil moisture levels to keep theprofile on the “dry” side.

X This has been our standard for all the years of my tenure here. We have been without the correct amount of irrigation water needed to keep the fairways and roughs watered correctly until last year we now are on effluent irrigation. This has changed Crystal Falls golf course forever for the better.

2. Adjust percentages on all heads to better suitthe soil makeup.


Procedure 1 PUMP STATION SHUT DOWN/START-UP TIMING X It is automatic Procedure 2 IRRIGATION LINE SHUT DOWN/START-UP TIMING X It is automatic Procedure 3 IRRIGATION AUDIT SCHEDULE X We audit irrigation bi-monthly

Visual inspections are done daily by the Superintendent and Assistant as we travel the course. ID’s like wet paths, standing water, and unusual dew or dry patterns are good tells. A minimum of 4 full system inspections are completed year.


Procedure 4 HEAD/VALVE BOX EDGING FREQUENCY We strive to get heads edged 6 times per year. We have found that the more they are edged, the fewer problems arise.

X

Procedure 5 PUMP HOUSE MAINTENANCE The pump house is kept clean as needed. We have a certified contractor service the pumps once a year. We check the pumps weekly to make sure all cooling systems are working and to make sure there is nothing out of the ordinary.

X

Procedure 6 CENTRAL SCHEDULING/PROGRAMMING PHILOSOPHY As stated in the Objective…our goal is to provide the X

145

appropriate amount of irrigation as efficiently as possible to provide the best conditions for growing turfgrass. We have followed our company’s lead and created separate programs for different parts of the course to enable us to be as efficient as possible when irrigating. Deep and Infrequent when possible, syringing only when necessary.

Procedure 8 HANDWATERING/OVERHEADWATERING/SYRINGING PHILOSOPHY Water is critical for the health of the turf. All measures are calculated to ensure proper efficacy is achieved through our Irrigation system. Irrigation heads are turned down or up to compensate for that specific area. Proper run times are essential for sound management practices. Hand watering is done whenever needed to specifically target the area in need.


Area 11 EQUIPMENT Objective The equipment at Crystal Falls, like any other golf

course, is just as important as the employees who operate them. The objective for us is to maintain a fleet with as little down time and best quality as possible.


Goals 1. Have all employees trained and efficientoperators of all equipment


2. Maintain a log of employee training X 3. Stay at or under budget in equipment repair

and maintenanceRepairing equipment and budget is a challenge. Some times unforeseen events happen to equipment and the cost of repairs bend the budget.

Procedure 1 PREVENTATIVE MAINTENANCE AND REPAIR SCHEDULE Inventory and hours of all the equipment are imputed into our system and service schedules are created based off manufactures recommendations and/or needs as determined by our mechanic.

X

Procedure 2 EQUIPMENT TRACKING

146

a. Preventative Maintenance and RepairTracking – As PM and repairs are completed, they are noted. Copies of invoices are made and supplied to the mechanic periodically to be imputed into the system to track expenses for individually equipment pieces.

X

b. Equipment Replacement Schedule – Wehave come up with an equipment replacement schedule.

X We have always had an equipment replacement/purchase/lease plan.

c. Operator Training – Operators are trained bythe Superintendent, Assistant, Mechanic and foreman on every piece of equipment before going out into the field. They first watch a video provided by the manufacturer, then are given a prestart education by our mechanic and then are trained in operating and procedures. We are putting together an equipment sign off book to keep on file.

X

Procedure 3 MECHANIC CONTINUING EDUCATION We host an education for our local Golf Course Equipment Technician Association every year sponsored by Toro. We encourage and support education whenever possible.

X Equipment manager attends continuing education meetings.

Area 12 MAINTENANCE SHOP Objective The maintenance shop is our house. We understand

that it all starts here...safety, support, and organization. The course will mirror how we are at home.

X

Goals 1. Continue the use of an end of day shopcleanup to be completed weekly

X

2. Maintain around the outside of the shop toinclude the existing landscaping

X

Procedure 1 CONTENTS IN STORED BUILDING All equipment stored inside has designated areas although not for individual pieces…types of


147

machines only. Procedure 2 CONTENTS STORED OUTSIDE OF BUILDING

Here again, all equipment has a designated area to be kept, just not specific for each piece. All other equipment is kept outside. The aerifiers, grounds masters, push mowers, blower, and rough units, except the trim units, are stored outside under the covered lean-tos. The tractor/loader is exposed to the elements as there is no place to keep it. Our spray rigs are kept under the lean-to beside the chemical room.


Procedure 3 SHOP SETUP a. Safety Equip – All safety items necessary for

daily work is provided to the operators. Earprotection, sunscreen, insect repellent, andback braces are kept on a shelving unit bythe greens mowers and eye protection iskept in the mechanic’s area.

X

c. Hospital/Medical Center Directions –In theevent of an emergency, 911 is called andwe wait for the authorities.

X

Area 13 STAFFING Objective Staffing is the most important part of any

organization. Good people make all the difference. As with many other courses we take pride in our staff at Crystal Falls. They are what make us a destination for so many golfers in the area.


Goals 1. Train all staff to identify problems andcommunicate


149

2. Have entire staff cross trained on allequipment and procedures where possible


Procedure 1 TRAINING Training is done by the Superintendent, Assistant, or Foreman. Additional training is provided by the Equipment Tech when necessary.


Procedure 2 SCHEDULING We try to remain flexible with all employees, part-time especially, but they understand that we do have a business to run. Scheduling is determined by the Superintendent and the Assistant depending on what needs to be done in the field and what projects are being worked on.


Procedure 3 HIRING AND FIRING PROCEDURE All hiring and firing is handled by the Superintendent. We have had good success recently with ads posted for free on the internet…Craigslist specifically. Interviews are performed for all positions.

X

Procedure 4 COACHING PROCEDURE We take every opportunity to help the employee improve and work on any issue they may be having before finally letting them go. The coaching and observation forms provide a great way to help set expectations and goals for determining how the employee is coming along.

X This has been our standard for all the years of my tenure here. We also have written guideline to set the standard of operation and staff expectations.

Area 14 RECORD KEEPING Objective Positive record keeping is the best way for collecting

valuable data for all aspects of golf course maintenance. We have utilized this for chemical and fertilization for many years and are now starting to use it to better track our expenses and equipment repair.


Goals 1. Utilize existing tracking tools to ensure X

150

proper documentation in all areas. 2. Stay up to date with data input for easier

access to information.X

Procedure 1 FERT/CHEM Every application, both fert and chem, is documented and kept in a specific binder in the office (IPM and Fert for each year). Maps are created as needed for preventative applications.

XX This has been our standard for all the years of my tenure here.

Procedure 2 EQUIPMENT/GOLF CART REPAIR Equipment and golf cart repairs are kept in the computer on the software programs.

Procedure 3 BUDGET TRACKING –LABOR/EXPENSES As invoices are coded they are copied and filed for specific months and vendors. They are then immediately entered into the budget tracker.

X

Procedure 4 WATER USE AND TESTING We are governed by the Crystal Falls River Water Management District and report our usage (well and lake) to them twice a year through the En-50 water usage forms. We have our water tested once a year in the spring for pH, hardness, bicarbonates, and any other elemental readings.

X We have always tested our irrigation water every year.

Procedure 5 HIRING AND DISCIPLINARY ACTION All documentation of employees are passed along to our GM kept in their file at the clubhouse. Any form requiring the signature of our employees is put into their personnel file.

X HR gets all the documentation.

Procedure 6 FUEL LOGS Fuel is recorded after each use. Logged by each employee specific to their piece of equipment.

Procedure 7 WEATHER The only official records we keep on weather are rainfall amounts

X Rainfall spreadsheet kept . This has been our standard for all the years of my tenure here.

Procedure 8 OSHA AND WC FORMS X

151

We have an incident folder we keep in the offices that help us respond to any accidents that come up. Included in that folder are all necessary forms for OSHA and WC. As an event occurs, a file is created for each until they are closed out. We also keep an up to date binder with all the MSDS sheets in it in the break room on the Right to Know Center.

X

Area 15 MANAGEMENT Objective We have always been told that they key to a well-

run organization is in the management’s ability to delegate tasks and responsibility successfully. We take pride in our ability to promote from within, and one of the reasons we can is because of the responsibility given to those around us who show that they want it and can handle it.


Goals 1. Involve the Assistant in all aspects ofscheduling and budgeting


2. Post and handout schedules forupcoming months to better forecastwork schedules


3. Meet with employees individually tomonitor advancement and or concerns


Procedure 1 CREATION AND LISTS OF VARIOUS SCHEDULES Projects are scheduled yearly and presented to the staff of the club yearly. Dates of Aerifications are usually locked in by November of the previous year.


Procedure 2 DELEGATION CHAIN CHART/FOLLOW UP CHAIN CHART No chart like this exist here. We have an open door policy amongst the crew. They know that their direct report is to the Assistant Superintendent and then to the Superintendent. I respect my Assistants ability to handle the crew and do not jump levels of communication without first talking with him.

X We do not have a “chart” because it is known by all staff and it is verbally communicated to ALL the staff. This has been our standard for all the years of my tenure here.

152

Procedure 3 SAFETY MEETINGS We strive to have a least 5 safety meeting a year. Winter is a great time for us to have these as we wait for the frost delay. They consist of many issues including but not limited to chainsaw safety, heat exhaustion, Right to Know, and Fire Extinguisher usage. We always have a summer safety meeting regarding hurricane preparation for the course.

X We don’t strive to have 5. We DO have at minimum 6 safety meetings a year.

Procedure 4 COURSE SAFETY MONITORING Safety is our number one concern at Crystal Falls as with any other course. We ask all of our employees to keep us notified of anything they see throughout the day that they feel is a safety issue. We have safety counsel meetings once a month with management to discuss issues around the property. Any hazards are taken care of immediately.

Area 16 COMMUNICATION/INFORMING Objective The relationship between Golf Maintenance and

Club operations is initiated daily to better help each other through short and long term goals…Provide our guests with a fun and enjoyable golf experience. Communication is key in order to perform efficiently and with as little effect to our guests as possible.


Goals 1. Over Communicate X This has been our standard for all the years of my tenure here. Procedure 1 TO MAINTENANCE STAFF

Daily assignments are written on the assignment board in the mornings prior to staff arriving. We have a quick meeting to discuss any specifics or anything out of the ordinary.


153

Procedure 2 TO CLUBHOUSE STAFF Either the Superintendent or the Assistant checks with the pro shop every morning to double check pin rotation, course conditions, and tee times.

X

Procedure 3 TO GUESTS Any information that needs to be given to our guests first goes to the pro shop and they pass it along either as guests check in or by the Starter as he goes over course information.

Billy Casper Crystal Falls Golf Course Recommendations

Initiative Item(s) Completed Not Completed

Notes/Adjustments

1. LOCAL MARKET OVERVIEW Objective BCG recommends a pricing model that positions CFGC more in-

line with the Public-Value segment, and aggressively adjusts price to fill underutilized times.

Prices adjusted the BCG recommendations. After further review, we determined that we were losing money and raised prices to a more profitable level. This was discussed with Kent in a previous meeting.

2. MARKETING Objective 1. All marketing efforts should be tracked for

effectiveness. If the results of a marketing programcannot be tracked, do not do it!

2. Always include an offer to encourage a "Call to Action"and stress the "Value of Crystal Falls"

3. Drive golfers to website to build database anddetermine areas to focus future marketing efforts

4. Use tee sheet data to identify the days and times ofday requiring marketing attention

5. Always include expiration date6. Evaluate effectiveness and return on investment

("ROI")7. Build separate databases for trade shows, golfers and

members. Actively promote to these databases

Standard Operating Procedure.

Website has always been marketing tool. Over 10,000 in our data base.

Every week tee sheet is looked at and adjustments are made to try and fill. ROI is always looked at. We do not go to trade shows due to budget .Members are separate.

3. INCREASE ROUNDS 1. Post offers on web-site to encourage traffic to website

and ability to get guest contact2. Offer a reward for the consumer giving you their

information, a $5 "bounce back" or thank you couponthat they can redeem with their next round of golf.

Done monthly if not weekly.

155

3. Discontinue all awareness ads unless tied to direct offerthat requires trackable response from guest.

4. Create synergy between all marketing tactics and trackthe effectiveness of all of the marketing tactics. Annewspaper promotion intended to increase roundsshould be combined with an on-site offer to increaseusage and should include an end date.

5. Market specifically to the membership to increaseusage of facility during slower periods. This can beaccomplished by scheduling member only events andguest of member discounts.

6. Offer a Frequent Players Card for $69 that wouldinclude a round of golf and a $5 discount on all roundsfor a twelve month period. This should promoteincreased play by those playing more than 3x per year,but not playing enough to purchase a membership.

7. Offer a Rewards Card to all golfers on carts, greens andrange fees to encourage usage and provide an easy

mechanism to track playing habits.8. Develop and implement a comprehensive sales and

marketing program including targeted print advertising;guest data capture, direct mail and broadcast e-mail;direct selling to local hotels, businesses and chambers;and offering and promoting off-peak specials

9. Offer Programs to promote data capture. .10. Create additional player development programs to

attract new players. .11. Aggressively promote and solicit golf outings including

both large and small groups. Target existing members,local businesses, charitable organizations, churches, andfraternal organizations.

.12. lncentivize staff members to capture guest-data. 13. Provide an annual incentive to management based on

facility revenue and profitability. 14. Implement tee sheet "Yield Management" in an effort

to maximize day part rates.

Always use tractable ads.

We do have a frequent player program.

Tried rewards card. Did not work with our guests.

We do some of these but others we have time issue with amount of staff.

4. OPERATIONS

156

Objective 1. During our visits we found the golf shop staff to be focused on processing guests and directing them to their cart. The number of golf shop staff members appeared to be excessive for the amount of business. BCG did not observe any outbound sales, marketing initiatives, or up-selling of the guest at the counter by the golf staff.

This is misleading. At the time of the evaluation, there were extra staff members to assist with any information required by BCG. This was not our normal staff level. On that particular day there was only 4 staff members actually on the clock. One was full time 2 were part time and one was salary.

2. During the 'check-in process' the cashier is not promptedto up-sell or enter any player information that couldprove useful from a marketing perspective: mailingaddress, e-mail address, phone number, age, etc.

Not sure what was observed but this is false. Staff does a great job at up-selling and gathering info from guests.

3. CFGC would benefit from stocking lower pricedmerchandise with higher margins. Brands such as GregNorman, Bermuda Sands, and Nike would provide

suitable merchandise at the appropriate cost.

These vendors are not lower priced and they are available in “big box” stores. By adding these brands, we would increase the competition against our operation.

Cashiers and Cash Handling Procedures 1. A variance report should be run by managers each day.2. Always blind count all registers.3. Limit access to register drawers to one cashier per

drawer.4. Working from an open drawer is strictly prohibited.5. POS register report and accounts should tie to financial

statements

Standard Operating Procedure. Multiple cashiers use one drawer. The drawer is always checked at opening and closing. Cash deposit is check by two separate employees.

FIRST IMPRESSIONS - SCRIPTS Pro Shop Script (Phone Reservation) 1. Answer the phone in a friendly and professional

manner (No more than 3 rings)Standard Operating Procedure

157

2. Request the guests email address to send a tee timeconfirmation

3. Confirm the time, date, and number of players in theguest's tee time

4. Thank the guest for making a tee time, and offer apositive parting remark

As always been a very important part of operation. When guests call they get a real person to answer and all staff knows the importance of that first contact with our operation.

Pro Shop Script (Check-In) 1. Greet the guest in a friendly and professional manner

(Eye contact and a smile)2. Request the name and email address of the guest and all

playing partners present3. If the guest is not already a card holder, offer the

opportunity to join either a membership or loyaltyprogram

4. Suggest additional items the guest may need to purchase(golf balls, tees, gloves, range balls)

5. Process transaction and provide the guest with a receipt6. Make sure the guest knows where to go next, and offer a

positive parting remark

Standard Operating Procedure

Staff is great with our guests. Service is probably the facilities #1 asset. We treat people very well.

Starter Script 1. Greet the guest in a friendly and professional manner

(Eye contact and a smile)2. Collect receipt to confirm check-in, record cart number3. Ask if the guest has played at the golf course before4. Explain any information pertaining to the course that day

a. Cart rulesb. Pin positionsc. Beverage cart hoursd. On-course restroom locationse. Local knowledge

5. Explain the expected pace of play, and the presence ofthe ranger

6. Thank the guest for their business, offer a positive partingremark, and direct them to the first tee

Standard Operating Procedure All of these are being done and always has been done.

Staff is very informative.

Golf Outing and Tournament Sales Policies

158

1. CFGC is at a disadvantage because it does not offer an area for all players to gather after the outing. BCG recommends investing in fully roofing the patio area which could be utilized for outings after the event

2. CFGC should generate an average of 3,000 golf outingrounds which can yield revenue results of $200,000 ormore per year.

3. The financial performance of the facility could beimproved upon by aggressively pricing outings on slowerdays and time frames to increase outing sales andrevenue.

Hoping to see our deck covered in the future

Culture/ Critical Eye Management team working as cart attendants as needed, but, a better usage of time would be outbound tournament sales efforts.

With a smaller staff size, we are often required to cover lapses in shifts to maintain efficiency. We are cross-trained to manage different areas of the operation as needed.

Assessment and Recommendations • Golf shop and outside operations schedules should be

created showing total labor dollars to match monthlybudget numbers

• Inventory should be taken on a monthly basis by the golfStaff

• Year-end reporting of golf shop sales should reconcile tothe financial statements

• Green Fee discounts and promotions should be trackedper each offer

• Rounds played by each promotion should be specificallydesignated and tracked

• Transactions cannot occur with open cash drawers• Every guest should be entered into both the tee sheet and

POS System• All team members need to take ownership of facility – not

select few


5. PRICING, RATES & YIELD MANAGEMENT

159

Objective Memberships The lack of participation in the membership offerings at CFGC is cause for concern.

Membership prices have been reduced.

POS Systems and Third Party Tee Time Wholesalers 1. As CFGC becomes more aggressive with online pricing

discounts to capture market share, it will be necessary tohave a tee sheet that can communicate with third partytee time vendors such as GolfNow or other.

2. At the writing of this report, the only tee times availablefor booking through the CFGC website are pre-paid tradetimes. In 2015, only ten emails were sent to the CFGCdatabase. BCG recommends 2·4 emails per month be sentto segmented groups of the database with a specific callto action.

3. BCG recommends restructuring the third partyagreements with the two largest vendors - GolfNow andTeeoff.com. CFGC should control the base price for around of golf and move away from the trade model withzero pricing control, essentially, the wholesalers are paida commission based on the total volume of tee timessold. This incentivizes third party vendors to sell as manytee times as possible - at the highest rate possible.

Misleading. The entire tee sheet was available for online booking through Golf18Network. Two of the available tee times were trade times. We ended our agreement with GolfNow because we were seeing mostly trade rounds booked. Very few revenue rounds were booked through this medium. GolfNow does not promote our image; they promote their own image. CFGC isn’t retaining players, GolfNow is. Emails were discussed in a previous meeting with Kent and Tom.

Assessment and Recommendations • Need new POS system in F&B and Golf Shop – BCG

utilizesmultiple vendors (EZ Links, G1 - GolfNow, IBS) due tothe integration of the tee sheet with third partyvendors

• Data capture becomes mandatory for everytransaction

• Every round of golf should be entered into both the teesheet and POS System for accurate reporting andtracking

• Structure relationships with third party tee timevendors to leverage eyeballs and increase rounds

Standard Operating Procedure. It is unnecessary to procure new POS software. Pro shop-keeper handles all the functions necessary without added expense.

160

6. FOOD & BEVERAGE OPERATIONS Objective • Due to the size and location, continue a similar

operation moving forward. However, refrigeration andfreezer space is very limited and could not support amore robust menu offering.

• Cost of Goods Sold ("COGS") for the F&B operation isvery good.

At the Golf Grille, the following were in place: 1. Establishment of Par inventory values for all key

products2. Bi-monthly menu cost analysis - inventory costs are

fluid -3. Comparison shopping from vendors on a monthly

basis - guarantee you are getting the best pricingon a consistent basis

4. Removal of menu items with minimal sell throughor poor margins

5. Track all Waste6. Enforce policies to make sure all items are rung

through the register for more accurate counts7. Enforce policies for employee meals - Track cost of

employee meals8. Lock up all product - in place9. Do not allow for pay-outs from register

• Check in and out all Beverage Cart items – noreconciliation – currently not happening

All these points have been done in past and will continue to be done.

Food & Beverage Operational Tactics 1. Continue a scaled back menu to limited

offerings2. Focus F&B effort to core business which is

serving golfers, outings and lunch crowd.3. Implement Beverage cart inventory control

system. Cart girl should not be permitted tocheck in her own product. This eliminates therisk of beverage cart attendant selling her ownproducts.

4. Operate Golf shop and F&B with one individual

Very seldom is there more than one person in the grill. We do try and have at least 2 staff members during busy times. The grill has always been short on staff and is operated in a very lean manner. Beverage cart is and has always been monitored.

161

during slow time to adjust staffing of F&B to busy times only

Assessments and Recommendations • Review staffing model for entire clubhouse to

implement cross training and coverage thus reducingoverhead

• Review Labor model to determine if grille operationjustifies a full time year round manager.

• Operate the beverage cart with more frequencydepending on the amount of play (at least 100rounds) beverage cart should be profitable operation.

This operation has always operated with limited staff in all areas. Since this evaluation staff ahs been reduced event further. A full tie F/B is needed. That is the only full time staff member in the grill.

7. CAPITAL IMPROVEMENTS RECOMMENDATIONS Clubhouse: Assuming the desire to do more outing rounds, Construct an outing pavilion for large groups or in lieu of constructing a large outing pavilion, construct the extension of a permanent patio overhang, effectively doubling the undercover space and providing adequate space for the majority of the outings. Golf Course: • Create a rock creek bed in front of #6 green• Make the area to the left of the landing area on #14

playable• Address the landing area and level/mound #16• Address the landing area and level/mound #18• Cart paths - continue to fix broken areasEquipment Needed:• Walk behind aerator (Toro 648)• Cart path edger• Pull behind turbine blower

Planned but not started or completed.

8. FINANCIAL ANALYSIS Scenario A - CFGC continues as Status Quo with the City Board providing oversight to operations. Under this Scenario BCG has shown minimal rounds or revenue growth in the operation of CFGC. Scenario B - CFGC implements all pricing, marketing, and revenue growth recommendations. Under this scenario significant rounds and revenue growth with the

162

implementation of industry leading marketing tactics. 9. BEST PRACTICES

Financial Reporting • A CPA should review monthly financials for accuracy• Use GAAP accounting in preparing financials• Utilize bookkeeper to create financials as opposed to

on- site manager. A bad idea for multitude of reasons;proficiency, time usage, accuracy, controls, etc.

• Incorporate detailed chart of accounts to better trackrevenues and expenses


Industry Benchmarks • F&B Operations - 33% Cost of Goods Sold ("COGS"),

33% Labor Burden, 3% to 8% Operational ExpenseBurden dependent on footprint of facility

• Merchandise Sales - 75% COGS and an annual turn rateof 4 to 6 times

• Total Labor Burden of 40%• Benefits Burden of 7% to 10%• Average Dollar per Round ("APR") is about 60% of

highest posted rack rate• Measure APR by day and rounds type to optimize rate

Structure

Merchandise COGS is maintained at 70% with a turnover rate of 2 times for the entire inventory (some categories are higher). This is based on 10+ years of historical data. Maintaining a turn rate of 4-6 times is considered very aggressive even for “big box” retailers. For a smaller retail operation, trying to maintain 4-6 inventory turns is undesirable.

Operations • Trade-outs and barter agreements documented and

evaluated for ROI• Volunteer usage is liability concern from insurance

purposes and potential interaction with guests• Clearly defined roles and responsibilities of staff

members - what are the priorities and focus of keypersonnel

• Deposit Cash nightly/daily• Post signage indicating if "guest does not receive

receipt purchase is free."

Standard Operating Procedure. Volunteers are necessary to keep labor costs down. We ask customers if they would like receipts; receipts are given when requested. All these bullet points have always been done. Manager of this operation

163

• COGS and pricing evaluated monthly• Daily Reconciliation, Daily drawer closing, and Cash

Reconciliation should not be performed by the sameindividual

• Dedicated Men's and Women's Bathroom in clubhouse• Professional Training Program and constantly reinforce

with staff. Ironically, lowest paid employee orvolunteer has the most interaction with the guest

• Mystery Shop SHR and provide guest comment cardsfor feedback

• Create an Annual Business Plan. Golf is a business, nota cottage industry

• Staff always in a logoed, uniform shirt with name tag• Safe bolted to floor• Value your guests time• Pace of Play - visual cues to speed up. Proactively

address and monitor, once it is a problem it is too late

is one that works right alongside all staff members in all areas on almost a daily basis. Staff is daily being shown and reminded of the importance of their job and how important they are to the success of the operation. Lower paid staff members were being told years ago and to this day how important their interaction with our guests is. Cart staff is told that they could be the first and the last person our guests see and how important is for them to leave a positive impression. Once again all of these operation points have and continue to be addressed.

We do understand that this is a business.

Staff members in the past did wear logoed shirts but in order to lower expense we no longer offer logoed shirts to staff. Although the staff that does have logoed shirts from the past do wear them.

Profitability Culture

164

• Revenue generating Managers• lncentivize all staff on profitability of facility

Revenue and how to generate it has been consuming my mind o a daily basis for over 10 years. I think I get it. I also think the staff understands revenue also.

Miscellaneous • Stand for something - Create and maintain integrity of

brand• Leases should be by owner (The City of Leander). If in

third party manager's name, they own leased itemseven though owner is supplying capital

• Large Clubhouses in communities become "whiteelephants." Golf shops are usually overbuilt inclubhouses

Standard Operation Procedure.

Marketing • Look to Data-capture each golfer's information. Each

Unique golfer would be contactable via e-mailand/or snail mail

• Develop Retention Strategies - number of golfers andthe rounds of golf played in the United States arerelatively flat. Revenue growth requires stealingrounds from other courses and growing rounds fromexisting golfers

• Develop Marketing Plan with clear objectives, tacticsand strategies

• Evaluate Return on Investment ("ROI") of eachpromotion, if it is not measurable do not do it

• Improve portals for guests to contact CFGC• Packagers - Wholesalers are very advantageous during

infancy of lifecycle of facility, improved data-capturewill allow for targeted communication withoutwholesalers as "partners", just the opposite currently,which makes no sense.

• Develop “Marketing Revenue Play Book”1. Plan all revenue generating activities in

Marketing is an area that we could see more time spent on. We have done more this past year but more could be done. I think we do our best with the time and the amount of staff. We do a lot with our website and through social media which is the best way in this day and time to promote a golf course and capture data that is useful. We do have a plan it may not be as broad and hit all areas but we do a pretty good job with the tools we have. We do tract all marketing and make sure we have a

165

October of prior year 2. Plan key details of activities

ROI. We do know the importance of marketing. Marketing also cost money. We also do plan ahead for all activities of the operation. .

RETREAT AGENDA SUBJECT: Cross Connection Control Program

BACKGROUND: In accordance with state requirements, City staff is developing a Cross Connection Control and Backflow Prevention Program that will include recurring (annual) inspections and tests of certain residential backflow prevention assemblies considered potential health hazards. Several neighborhoods with a combination of on-site septic systems and in-ground irrigation systems will be impacted by this program.

ATTACHMENTS: 1. Program Summary2. Draft Notification Letter

PREPARED BY: Pat Womack, Public Works Director

175

CROSS CONNNECTION CONTROL AND BACKFLOW PREVENTION PROGRAM SUMMARY

• Title 30 of the Texas Administrative Code (30 TAC) Chapter 290 prohibits public water systemsfrom connecting to an actual or POTENTIAL contamination hazard without first protecting thepotable water supply.

• TCEQ’s Requirements:1. Cross Connection Control and Backflow Prevention Ordinance2. Plumbing Ordinance, Regulations, or service agreements3. Customer Service Inspections (CSI’s)4. Backflow Protection using appropriate backflow prevention assemblies (BPA’s)5. Routine (annual) testing of BPA’s

• Any hazard must be isolated from the drinking-water supply regardless of when the hazard wasfirst created. There are no grandfather clauses that apply to a cross-connection control andbackflow prevention programs.

• Residential Customers with on-site septic systems:

642 Grand Mesa 158 Falcon Oaks 109 Reagan’s Overlook

78 Ridgmar and Valley View 27 Greatwood 12 Pleasant Hill Estates

1,026 Total Inside City

82 Outside City

• Residential Highlights:1. The TCEQ does not recommend installation of backflow-prevention assemblies (BPA’s) at

ALL service connections.2. Residences that have an actual or potential contamination hazard on-site must use an

appropriate BPA. [30 TAC 290.47(f)].3. Typical residences only require minimal protection such as vacuum breakers on hose bibbs,

air gaps, and irrigation back-flow prevention.4. Residences with irrigation systems AND on-site septic (treatment) systems are considered

health hazards (per TCEQ requirements), require an appropriate backflow preventionassembly, testing upon installation and annual re-testing.

5. Initial tests upon installation are the builder’s responsibility.6. Re-tests (performed by a TCEQ-licensed tester) are the property owner’s responsibility and

must be submitted on-line by the testing company using the BSI program.

176

• Notices:1. BSI mails letters to addresses for the annual testing.2. Residents have 30 days to schedule and submit tests.3. Past due letters are sent after 30 days and allow 15 additional days to submit.4. Failure to submit passing tests could result in City conducting the test, at owner’s expense

and placing cost of test and possibly repairs on the water bill.

• Approximate Annual Test Costs:1. Residential: $60 per test near meter, as high as $75

a. Does not include potential cost of replacement or repairs.b. Does not include retests.

2. Commercial: $75 to test for an interior location3. Restaurants or businesses with multiple testable assemblies: $50 - $754. BSI filing fee to submit test results: $12.95 per device.

• See attached residential notice letter.

RE: Backflow Assembly Test Due at 2012 Spyglass Hill Leander, TX 12345

Dear Water Customer,

The State of Texas requires that backflow prevention assemblies be installed on all health-hazard service connections in an effort to keep our water supply safe. Residences with irrigation systems AND on-site septic (treatment) systems are considered a potential health-hazard connection; therefore, these assemblies must be tested and certified annually to ensure they are working properly. According to the state requirements in Title 30 of the Texas Administrative Code, Chapter 290, the City of Leander has partnered with BSI Online to implement and administer the backflow testing program. Our records show the following backflow assembly(ies) at your property, which are due to be tested by September 30, 2017.

Size Manufacturer Model Serial Number Hazard Location

1” Febco 860 H07692 Irrigation NE corner

You are responsible for contacting a licensed backflow tester to perform the annual test and certification of the backflow assembly(ies) listed above (BSI or City employees do not test backflow assemblies). Please provide the CCN listed in the top right corner of this letter to your backflow tester, as they will need this number to properly file your backflow test reports via BSI Online. You may also use this CCN at www.bsionlinetracking.com to verify when your backflow test has been filed, locate a list of testers in your area, or to simply learn more about backflow assembly testing. Please contact BSI via e-mail ([email protected]) or phone (800-414-4990) if you have any questions, or you may contact the City of Leander Public Works Department at 572-259-2640.

Introduction

Choosing an Appropriate Tmatment for the Hi<toric Builcling

The Standards art neither ttdtnical not prescriptive, but arc intended to promote responsible pt0ervation pra.criccs thar hdp pr(l{ffl. our Nation's irrcplaccabk culrural resources. For example, they cannot, in :lnd ofthcmsdYCS, be used ro make cncnri2.I decisions abour which fuarum or the historic building should be s:avcd and which can be changcd. But once a trntmcnt is sdccrcd, the Standards provide philo· sophical consistency ro the work

O,.oosing the rnost appropriate trc2tmcnt fur a building requires careful dcci.,:ion-making about a building's historical significance. as well as taking into account a number of ocher considct:a.tions:

Relative importance in history. Is dtc building a nationally significant resource-a ran: survivor or the work of a master architc-ct or craftsman? Did an important c:vcnt take place in it? National Historic Undmarks, designated for their ·exceptional significance in Amcria.n hisrory," or many buildings individually listed in lhc Narional Regisrct often warrant PrcsttYation ot Raror1.rion. Buildings tltat contribute to the significanc.c of a hLtroric district but arc not individually listed in the National Register more frequently undergo Rehabilitation for a comparibk n�wc.

PhysicaJ eot1dition. What is the existing cnndirionor degree of material integrity-of the building prior to wiork� Hu the original fotrn survived largely ina.a or has it been alttred over time? M the alterations an important part of the building's hlSfOry?

0

l�tion may be appropriate if distinctive matcri�. fcarun:s, and spa.ca arc csstntially intact and oonvcy the building's historical signific:ina:. If me buUdin& rcqntrCS mon: ataulVC: repair and rcplaccmcnt. or if alterations ot additions arc ncctss:ary for a new use, then Rehabilitation is probably d\C mon appropriate rrearmcm. These kl!)' qualions pby major roles in dCfCrmining whar ttt:ltment is selected.

Proposed we. An cucntial, practial question ro ask is: W'"JI the building be used U it WU historically ot: will ir be ;:ivcn a new use� M.any hi.sroric buildin(1 can be adapted for new wcs without scriowly dam.aging their hisroric dwxtcr: special-use proptrtics such as grain silos, foru, tee houses, or windmilb may be c:xm:mdy difnwlt to adapt to new uses without major intervention and a resulting loss ofhi.sroric characa:r and cvcn inttgrity.

Manda«d cod, requi,.mcnu. Rq;aidlcss of the treatment, code requirements will need ro be taken inco consideration. Bur if hastily or poorly designed, a series or codc-n:quircd aaions may jcopardi-z.c .l building's matcruls as well as iti historic character. Thus, if• building needs 11> be scismically upgndcd. modifications ro the historic appearance should be minimal. Abarcmcnt of bd paint and a.sbcsto.t within hL1roric buildings rcquirc1 particul::u care if impor· tant historic finishes arc no< ro be advmdy affected. Fin.ally, altcrarions and new construction nccdcd to meet accosibility requirements under the Amcricaru wid1 Disabiliria kt of 1 �JO should be doigncd ro minimize material loss and vLNal change ro a hinoric buUding.

F.ncrgy Efficiency

Some fuuurcs of 11 historic building or site a:uch as cupolas, shutfCC'S, transoms, .skylights, sun rooms, porches, and pb.ntinp c::an play 11n cncrgy-eonscrving role. Thcn:fotc, prior ro rcuofiuing historic buildings to make them more cncrgydncicnt, the Arn step should ah't':l)'J be to identify and evaluate existing historic features: to nsscs.s their inherent cncrgy-conscrving porcnrial. Ifie is dcrcrmincd that retrofitting m<11Sun:s ai,: :,ppropriarc, then roch work need, a, be carried out with patrirul:u care m ensure that the building's hiJtoric clmracta is rct;1.incd.

Accesss1,ility Con.siduations

It is often ncc;cw.ry to make modifiations to a hisccmc building so that it will be m compliance with current ac:ccs:sibility code requirements. Accessibility to ccm1in hiJtoric srruccurcs is n:quircd by three specific fr:dcr.al laws: the ArchitcCtUral Birrim kt of 1968, Section 504 of tho llchabUittrion Act of 1973. and the Amcriaru with Dinbilirics Act of I 9'JO. 1:;;:der.J rules, n:guhuions, and standards have been dcvdopcd which pro"MX gu�nc:c on how to accom• plish access to historic iltc.l$ for people with dis:ibilitics. Work mwt be catcfully planned 11.nd undemiken so that it docs not n:sulr in me loss of du.raacrdcfining spaces, fi:a.rurcs. and finishes. TI1e goal is to pRWide die higl1cst IC\lt'I of acccs.s with the lowest le.cl ofimpac:r.

Health and Safety C.Onsidcrations

In undcn:akinc work on historic buildings. it is nca::sA,Y to consider the impact that meeting current health and .,[cry codo:s (public health, oa:uparional hcald,, lili: ..r..,.. lire ufcty, olcarical, seismic. mucwral, and building codes) wiJl h,,. on ch:in>r:rcrddining spaa,, f.aturu, and finishes.

Introduction

In Preservation, the opt:lOru for rcpb.ccmcm atc less c,:rcnsivc than in the ua.rment, Rehabilitation. This i.s hcausc it is a.qumed at the ouuer: that building m:.ttcrials .ind tharxrcr-dcfming ftiltun:s arc CJ!cntially int.act, i.e. thar more hinoric f.abric has survived, unch:tngcd. over rime. Thc cxpC'CUcd goal of the Standuds for Preservation and Guidelines for Prt1crving Historic Buildings is rcrcnrion of the building's cxi.n:ing form, fcarurcs And derailing. This m:iy be as simple as bane m.:1.inrcn:1.ncc of existing marcr�ls and fc-.arurcs or may involve prcp;ring ;a hi.storic strucnm: rq,on, undcrt-1.king labor.,,rory tating such as piint and mortar :1n:1lysi.s, and hiring conscrv.1tors to perform sensitive work such a.� rcconsrituting inrcrior finishes. Protection, maintenance, and rep:iir arc cmphasi-lcd while rcpl:tccmcnt i.� minimi1.cd.

Identify, Retain, and Prescn,: Historic Matcrrals and Futures

The guidance for the tn::umcnt Preservation �gins wirh n:commcndltions to identify rhc form and dct2iling oftl1osc archircctUral m;a.tcl'\nls and ftarurcs that 3ft import.Int in defining the building$ historic char:icrcr and which musr be ref.lined in order ro pre� .serve that du1ra.crcr. TI,cn:forc, guidance on id�utifyiug, 1Yt11U,;ng, and pran-11U11 ch:1r.1crcr-dcfming k:1� rurcs is 3.lways given f1m. 111c character of a historic building m:i.y be defined by the furm and detailing or cxrcrior m:i.tcrials, such .lS masonry, wood, :i.nd metal; exterior fc.i.run::s, ruch :u roo'1, porches, and windows; interior m:itcrials, ruch at plam:-r and paint; and inrc� rior bturcs, .NCh as moldings and srairw.i.ys, room configuration .1nd sp.uial rdationsl,ips, as well as srructura.1 and mechanical $)'Stems; and rhc building's sire and setting.

Stahwu Dcttriontcd Hinoric Matuials and Features as a l'rdiminary Measure

Dcrcriorarcd porrions of a historic building may need to be prorcctcd thorough preliminary stabilization measures unril additional work can be undertaken. StttbuiziJ11 may include structural rcinfora:mcnt, wcathcrization, or corrccring unsaJc condil'\ons. Temporary stabiliu.tion should always be carried out in such a manner rhat it detracts :u little as poi:i;iblc from the historic building's appearance. Although it may not be ncccssary in a,:ey p�rvation project, stabilization is noncthdcss an integral parr of the trcarmcnt PreJervation; it is equally applicable, if cir� cumstmccs w�rrant, for the other treatments.

Protect a.nd Maintain Historic Materials and Fearu ...

After idcnrifying those materials and features that a.re important and must be retained in the process of Preservation work. then prok:rtint n»d """1wiui11t them arc addressed, Protection gtncr.Uly involves the lcasr dcgcc ofinrcrvcntion and is prcpararory to other work. For o:amplc, prorcction includes the mainrcruno: or hiscoric marcrials throU£h n-catmcna suc:::h as rust rcll'l(W,ll. caulking, limircd paint rem.oval, and re-application of protective roarings: the c:ydical clW1ing of roof gurttr systems; ot insrallation of kncing. alarm systems :1.nd other temporary protcttivc masun:s. Ahhough a hUroric building will wually require more cxrensiv-c work. an oYc:::n!I evaluation or its physical condition should alw:ays begin at thU level.

C.Onscqucntly, guidance ror rq,airing a historic material, ruch as masonry, again bcginJ with the least degree of intcrvmrion possible such as strengthening fracilc materials d,rough consolidation, when appropriarc. and·rcpoinringwith mort2.r of a.n appropriate strength. Repairing masonry :u wcll as wood and architcCNra.l metal fc:i.rures may also indudc patching. splicing. or od�rwisc rcinforc� ing them using recognized prcscMrion methods-. Simila.rly, within the narmcnr Preservation, portions of a historic structural system could be rcinfon:.cd using conrcmporary marcrials ruch as stttl rods. All wo,k should lx physially and visually compatible, identifiable upon dose inspa:rion and documcnttd fur furun: rcsc:arch.

If repair by nabilrz:1.rion, consolidation, a.nd conscrvarion proves inadequate, the ncxr level ofinttrvcnrion involves the /i,,ukt/ repilunMU O, lti,u/ of o.ttruivtly deteriorated or mi.uingJ>4rtsofkaNrCSwhcn there arc surviving: prototypes (for example, bradtcu. denrils, steps, plasa:r, or portions of slate or rile roofing). The replacement marcrial needs to match the old both physically a.nd visually, i.e .. wood wirh wood, ct"C. l'hus, with me e:xo:ption of hidden structural rcinforo:mcnt and new mcchanic:al system components, substirutc materials an: n01: appropriate in the treat· mcnt Preservation. Again, it is important that aU new marcrial be idcntiftro and properly documented for future racarch.

Therefore, guidance on ukrJtifjmr., �Wailtfi mu/ pmtrTIUft characttr,ddining futures is alw;ys given fim. The charaacr of a historic building may be defined by the funn and dcailing of exterior materials, such as masonry, wood. and mecal; cxtcrior l'taturcs. such as roofs, porches, and windows; inrerior

materials, such as plastcr and paint; and interior !QturtS, such a.s moldincs and st3irways, room con6gurarion and SJXltial relationships, ;u well as structural and mechanical ,ys�ms.

Thw, if adequate historic:al. pictori21. and phyrical documcnrarion odlts so chac the fcarure may be accuratdy reproduced, and if ic is desirable to rc-csablish the fcarure u part of the building', hinoric:al •PP"'"""'• rhc:n dcsigniRG and constructing a new feature based on NCh information is appropriate. However, a stt011d ac:ccpt2blc option for the rcpbccmcnt 6:awrc is a new design that is compatible wirh the remaining characttr-dcnning fcaNra of the historic building. The new design shou\d always take into account the me. ,c:ak, and mMcrial of the historic building itself and, mOSt imponandy, should be cbily dilfcrcnri,tcd ,o that • fah. historical app=ana: is nor created.

lntcod.uction

llathtr d,an m;iint.iining :tnd preserving a building ;is it h;a evolved over time, the cxpra!ed goal of the Standards for Restoration and Guideltl\cs for lwtoring Hiuoric Buildings is to make 1hc building ap� as it did :;u a parriculu-and mon significant-rime in iu hinory. First, those maft'ri:tls and fuanucs from the "rcstorition pcrtOd" arc Klcntifkd, b.ucd on thorough historical research. Ncxr, brurcs from the rcsromion period arc m:lintaincd, protected, repaired (i.e .. stabili1.cd. consolidated, and. con. ttrve<I), and rtpbccd, if n<=sory. A, oppo,,d to other treatments, the scope of wom in Restontion can include rtmoval of fcamrcs from other periods; missing fuiNrcs &am the rcuoration period may be rcpl::r.ccd, lxucd on doc:umcnriiry and physic::i.1 evidence, usint:; trndirional materials or compariblc sub. stiNtt rMttrials. The fin;il guicbncc emphasizer chat only those designs that cm be documcnn:d as having �n built should be re-created in a rtStor.uion proJCCI.

Identify, R.tain, and Pn:scnc Materiols and Features from the Restoration Period

The guidantt for the Crtltmcnc R�1ora1ion bq;ins with rccommencbrions ro identify the form and detailing of chose existing architectural m.neri.tls and fcaturtS thac arc signifian1 10 the rcnonrion period as c:sr.i.blulu:d by historical research and documcnra-1ion. 11\Us, guidance on idn1U/Ji11g, rdai11i11g. a11d pratr11i11: features from the rc.stor:uion period is always given firsc. The histOfic buikling's :ippear.mcc may be defined by the form and detailing of its exterior materi:ils, sud, as masonry, wood, and metal: exterior rc;mn'CS, such ;J.S roofs. porches. and window,;

interior marttials, such as planer and painr. and ina:rior brurcs, such a.s moldings and stairways, room configur.icion and spicial rcla1ionships, as well as nructural and mcc:haniC31 systcmr. and the building's site and setting.

Protect and Maintain Matcriah and ftan:na from the Restoration Period

After identifying those existing materials and features from the rcscor:nion period char mun be retained in the prt>Ct$S of Restoration work, rhcn proterti11g a11d �11i11t11i11iug chem is addressed. Protection generally involves rhc least dcgrc,c of intetvention and is J)fty.lr.ttory co orhcr wori<.. For cum pk, pro1ttcion includes the mainrcnancc of historic material through tn:acmcnu such as rust removal, c:::iulking, limitcd �nt rcrnonl, and rc-applbrion of protcaivc coat· inp; the cydictl deaning of roor gutter systems; or installa1ion of kncing, alarm systems and other temporary prottttivc ffll:a$Ul'tS. Although a historic building will wually require more extensive work, an overall evaluation of its fhysica.J condition should always begin ar thi., ICYC •

Rcp;ur (Stabiliz<, Consolidate, and Cons.,,.) Matc:rials and Features from the Restoration Period

Next, when the physiaJ condition of rcnorarion period features requires addirional work, rrpairi11: by stabilisu,g, co11solitbtti11:, a,u/ ctmserviug is recommended. Restot'l.tion gukl.ncc focuses upon the prcscrv3rion or those marctials and fuaturcs chat arc significant 10 chc period. Consequently, guidance for repairing a historic ma�ial, such as muonry, ag:iin btgiN with the kast degree of intcrvcnrion pcwiblc, su�h � s1tengrhening fragile materials through consolida11on, when :ipproprian:, and rtpointing with mortar of an approprian: sm:-ngth.

Using th<: same kind or material i.s pccfcrrtd; however, compatible substituct material may be considered. All new work should be unobtrusively dated to guide future rtSOn:h and Ctt'atment.

Remove Existing Featun:s from Other Historic 1'criods

Mon buildinc,s represent continuing occup:,,ncics and cru\ncc ovct time, but in Restoration, the goal is co depict 1hc building ;s it appeared at the most significant time in its hi.nory. TI,us, work is included to rcmO'lc or alttr existing historic limurcs dtat do not rcpn:scnt the rcston.tion period. This could include features .such as windows, cnmmccs and doors, roof dormers, ot landsC;lpc features. Prior to alrcring or removing marcrials-, features, spaces, 2nd linlShcs that charac1crizc Ofhcr histotiCl! periods, they should be documented to guide funirc rcsc.i.rch and treatment.

Rc-Ocate Missing Features from the RestonUOn Period

Most Restoration projects involve re-creating (c:iturcs that were signifant to the building :u a panil:Uar time. but arc now missing. Examples could include a stone balwrradc. :t porch, or cut iron storefront. Each missing fc:1.mrc should be s1.1bs001t�tcd by documentary and physical evidence. Without sutTlcicnt documentation for these "rc-cn::,uions," an :,,ccuratc dcpicrion CU\nOt be ad,icvcd.. Combining b.turcs th:u n�r existed together historically can also crca.tc a false sense of hi.�tory. Using traditional miuttials to depict lo.,t features is alw.tys the preferred approach: ho'N'C\'\:r, ,uing 1.'0ntpatiblc snbstirute nuterial is ·,m acceptable alrcrn:uivc in Restoration bttawc, .is cmphasi.-..cd, the gnal of chis treatment is ro replicate the ".1.ppcarancc'" of the historic buildi,'& .1.c a partiC\1• la, rime, not to rct:tin and preserve all "-isroric nutc:rials .u they have evolved over time.

Liberty Fest 2017 Review and Recommendations

Site:

• Begin discussions with Alex Tyberg (immediately to the north of ACC) to secure his site for 2018• If Tyberg is not available, discuss and secure same ACC site for 2018

Festival Time:

• Open gates around 2:30 or 3 p.m. instead of 4:30 p.m.

Fireworks:

• Music hard to hear during show (Synchronization)• Show was 25-26 minutes – scheduled for 21. Partially due to company bringing additional shells

unused from other events and somewhat slower start• Start fireworks at 9:15 p.m. not 9:00 p.m.• Started a little slow/gaps in between bursts but after 4-5 minutes it picked up and really went

from that point. Start with a big opening burst• Decrease amount of low level shells due to location – can add higher shells, which can be

accomplished with reduction in length of show• We will need to go back out for RFQ to secure fireworks company in October 2017

Vendors:

• Vendors seemed very pleased. Lots of positives• Drawback was many vendors showed up late (after 3 p.m.) which created some logistic and

vehicle headaches. But we will work to alleviate that for next year

Concerts:

• Keep same amount of budgeted dollars (up to $35,000), however, have more local and regionalbands, rather than national act. Instead of opening band and headliner, have 3-4 opening bandsto play a forty-five to hour set and main act at 90 min. (has to come on by 7:45 p.m.) and thenfollow with Regional band from 9:30 – 10:30 p.m. and close festival

Master of Ceremonies:

• Utilize radio personality or person with comedic talent in between bands, make continuousannouncements/introductions, and refer to sponsors and/or various vendors throughout day

Beer:

• Beer Company was pleased and would love to do it again. Need to be involved earlier and theycan assist with getting sponsorships of $5,000 - $10,000. They sold nearly $29,000 ofbeer/product. City made a little over $5,100. Next year to add Sangria and/or wine-basedmargaritas. Liquor is hard to do because of the tax rate at 14%

• Move ID/Wristband area closer to the beer sales tents, rather than the main gates.• Better cooler checks at gate is needed• LPD/Security Company to do more checks in festival attendees

341

• According to most, the number of complaints related to intoxicated festival attendees was down

Fun Zone:

• Awesome! Majority of parents really enjoyed the $10 wristbands. Sold 746 bands and only 2complaints about the cost

• Need more non-profits to assist with inflatable oversight

Port-a-potties/Trash:

• Not enough! Only 36 were able to be secured through ACDI. They tried to obtain more. Wewill need to budget for additional above what can be donated. We need at least 50 more, 80-100 is necessary

• Need more sanitizing stations as well• Nice compliments about the cleanliness throughout the evening. John with P&R did a great job

all night long• Trash cans and recycled boxes were not in the crowd at the beginning. Once we moved them,

trash was deposited regularly• Need volunteers or volunteer groups to assist with cleanup the following day

Parking:

• Overall traffic plan worked really well• PW did a fantastic job of laying out the parking site and installing the pedestrian bridge/walkway• Great getting people in, but difficult getting vehicles out in timely manner. Needed additional

exits and review traffic control at the intersections/traffic lights. Plus there was an accident thatdelayed vehicles

• Move ADA to different location. Rather than long, make it closer to entrances• Cap Metro Buses worked well, once they figured out their route

Canopy Area:

• People who brought canopies were very pleased overall. However, needed much larger areawith better signage and walk lanes (Grids) throughout

Budget:

• Additional Security (Security Company) may be needed• Additional Port-a-potties• Additional tents at entrances (rental)• Cover supplies from other Departments• Additional signage and updated signage is needed• Continue to increase sponsorships

City Services:

• Incredible participation and buy-in from Departments. Downside - a lot of City staff are givingup a Holiday for the benefit of others

• Command Center operated very efficiently and effectively

342

New items for 2018:

• Additional teen type activities – Tethered Hot-Air balloon rides; Water feature inflatable• Misting area(s)• Mechanical Bull• Corn hole or Washer Tournament• Zombie Laser Tag• Nerf Archery• Kettle Corn Vendor• Event Maps and Information Kiosks under shade umbrellas• More volunteers to answer questions

A Manager's Performance Appraisal: Prepare With Confidence I icma.org

• A method to evaluate the progress and success of the manager.

Mission and vision. Defining who you are, what you believe, and where you are going-all rudiments of an

effective strategic plan-is crucial. In one Vermont tourist community, administrators view their town as a business

that is dependent on tourism and marketing to visitors, while still focusing on primary and secondary homeowners.

Elected officials always make decisions with an eye on this mission, keeping them focused and forward thinking.

Managers and officials must regularly discuss their mission, vision, and strategy, while defining values that they

believe, and from which they operate and conduct business. When mired in constant crisis or reacting to the day

to-day issues, communities can sacrifice their future and the opportunities this future presents.

Goal setting. The goal-setting process can be the most dynamic and harmonizing event that managers and

governing boards experience. Many communities do it annually, while others do it after each new board is seated.

Here, the board can establish clear expectations and accountability standards for the manager, ensuring that he or

she is aligned with the board's interests. Done well, this becomes a vibrant, proactive experience. Without it, people

could find themselves sailing on a rudderless ship, destined for disaster.

Clarity of roles. Local governments work best when there is only one manager. Yet too often, councilmembers get

confused about their role and think they, too, are the manager. Like the two-headed monsters of Greek mythology,

they find themselves moving in different directions. It doesn't work.

Good governance makes good government. One town manager quotes Plato when he discusses governance

during board orientations. "To do one's own business and not to be a busybody is justice," which basically means

justice is found in fulfilling your own role while not overstepping it.

Taking the time to define roles and adhering to them minimizes problems in the future and is essential to

meaningful appraisals.

Positive working relations. I regularly tell people who I work with that results can only occur if there are three elements in place: 1) a positive working relationship between the board and the manager; 2) a shared mission

about what the locality is and what the locality wants to accomplish; and 3) a commitment to move forward

together in a collegial manner.

With that foundation, communities can progress. But absent any one element, things come tumbling down.

Relationships based on trust, respect, and confidence are essential.

Governing and managing are all about the relationship. Managers must know that they have the backing of the

elected officials and vice versa.

Evaluation process. Putting in place a progressive process to evaluate the manager allows for healthy discussion;

clarification of expectations; refocus of direction, if needed; and open communication. No business relationship can occur without accountability standards, and this is the power of the appraisal process.

WHAT MAKES A GOOD EVALUATION PROCESS?

Agreement on the process. Ideally, the governing board and the manager should come together to decide how

to do this, when it should be done, and on what basis the manager will be evaluated.

While many shy away from evaluations, one Connecticut manager built the process into his contract to ensure he

had open communication with "his new bosses," to understand their viewpoints, and to make sure he was in sync

with each of them.

When I have developed appraisals with managers and governing officials, I have found that simply discussing the

process opens lines of communication, breaks down barriers, and often leads to discovering emerging new areas

of communality.

More than a form. Good evaluations are simply conversations, not forms. In fact, the forms are often a distraction

from what is truly important. A frank open dialogue, with all individuals participating, is much better then including

a five-point Likert scale and boxes to check on a form.

Forms are good for clarity and recordkeeping. They make the human resources professionals and lawyers happy, but they can never replace the feedback received during the appraisal interview. Good evaluations occur when

people are talking and listening with each other, not when forms are written, read, signed, and forgotten in a file.

http:/ /icma.org/en/press/pm _ magazine/article/106284 1/4/2017 362


Manager self-evaluations. Managers should take time to both critically evaluate their own performance and that

of their organizations. Elected officials readily admit that they do not know what managers do each day-and why

should they?

It is not their responsibility to monitor everything the manager does. Managers should, however, communicate

what they have done and more importantly, what they have accomplished during the period.

After all, they were hired and are being paid for accomplishments, not activities or simply showing up. A pinch of

selfless self-promotion is also a good thing.

Review of goals. As noted earlier, this is an ideal time to review progress on the manager's goals and objectives. It

is also a period when new goals can be established. Goal setting is the heart of the appraisal process.

In one Connecticut town, every two years, the board, the manager, and the department heads get together for a

formal goal-setting session. They incorporate a three-step process that includes:

• Identifying the overarching issues facing the town. The top five umbrella issues nearly always include public

safety, quality of life, infrastructure, education, and economic development.• Breaking down each issue using a modified SWOT analysis and then addressing what they want to focus on

and improve upon the next year.

• Coming up with 50 to 100 individual action items, prioritizing them, and then creating a workplan.

The manager and the department heads then allocate responsibilities and time frames for completion. This plan forms the basis for the manager's and the department heads' performance appraisal.

Development of the manager. Having a manager with yesterday's ideas is like eating day-old bread. It won't kill you, but it also won't satisfy your palate.

The demands of running a multimillion-dollar business with staff, equipment, changing technology, constant changes in regulations and legislation, employees, unions, and resident demands requires a manager who is up-to

date, understands best practices, and manages with knowledge and confidence.

Ongoing professional development readies the manager. It must be a requirement of each manager and an

essential component to discuss during the review process.

Performance appraisal cannot simply be a look back. What happened yesterday cannot be changed. The review must include a look forward, and one way to guarantee that a manager can get a community to where it wants to

go is through professional development.

Managers need continuous skills training, exposure to new ideas and concepts, interaction with other successful

managers, knowledge of changes in legislation and regulations, and awareness of emerging trends. Seminars, professional association programs, conferences, and college seminars are essential elements to this development

process.

Communication is the key. Whether it is on or off the record, fluid, open, and meaningful dialogue that ensures

that everyone is in the loop guarantees success. Managers must talk and listen to the board and vice versa.

The best reviews contain more conversation, with less emphasis on the forms; a clear understanding of the

respec�ive roles and responsibilities; well-defined goals and expectations; metrics and timeliness; and genuine respect and trust. When this is present, the appraisal process is working.

POTENTIAL STUMBLING BLOCKS

Unfortunately, too often these stumbling blocks can derail the process:

Politics. As I regularly find out from talking with managers and elected officials across the country, politics and everything that connotes often poisons the evaluation process. Conflicting agendas, singular motives, scores to

settle, or an unwillingness to embrace the community's mission and vision make governing difficult, thwart

consensus, and derail the process.

As one Florida councilmember stated: "Agendas by councilors prevent good evaluations." When politics gets in the

way, managers become afraid to make bold moves. They fear losing their jobs and become too paralyzed to be effective, and then often shy away from addressing the difficult issues.

http://icma.org/en/press/pm _ magazine/article/I 06284 1/4/2017 363


Surprises. Surprises should be left for birthday parties, not evaluations. The review process cannot endure many

surprises. Issues should be addressed as they occur and not stored in a gunnysack and saved for review time.

The governing board and the manager must always be transparent, open, and forthcoming. Matters that seemingly

emerge from left field kill conversation, put individuals on the defensive, and serve no other purpose than to derail

the process.

Report-card approach. A review is a development tool. It is a mechanism to plan for the future. It cannot be a merely a grading mechanism that reminds you of your past shortcomings. You can't be effective with a club over

your head.

Lack of differentiation between performance and personality. Managers are hired to perform. While getting

along and congeniality are important, the more critical piece is getting things done. Having a nice guy who

accomplishes little is not an enviable standard.

That said, defining the important traits of a successful manager is important during the hiring process and

reinforcing these during the appraisal process is appropriate.

A SUCCESSFUL RELATIONSHIP

Local government management can be difficult and complex. To be successful, the relationship between the

manager and elected officials must be open and positive. Each must understand the other's roles and expectations.

The manager's job is to take care of everyone in the organization. Officials expect them to run and grow the business; carry out their mandates; recruit, retain, and develop the internal talent; and prepare the organization for

the future.

It is the role of the officials to take care of the manager in a supportive manner. Managers, like any employees,

want their basic needs met and when they are not, resentment occurs.

They want a governing board that provides clear expectations and accountability standards, understands

managers' needs and expectations, and provides timely performance reviews. Late reviews and salaries that fall below their peers are two areas that cause the greatest resentment resulting in breakdowns in the relations and

turnover of managers.

Next vacation, when everyone happily piles into the car and agrees on a destination and driver, then and only then

can it be viewed as a positive experience. Managing a city or county requires the same. And when that happens, everyone can enjoy the ride.

This is excellent advice. I am preparing for my annual evaluation and this is a terrific refresher of the whys and hows of the process, and even more important, a reminder to keep it all in perspective, as Rick notes the evaluation is "simply a tool used by elected officials to ensure that community goals are being met." Thank you Rick for this helpful article.

6. Recommended Process

7. Sample Evaluation Form

This briefing was prepared for the in-service education of not-for-profit Boards that must update or formalize their process for evaluating the chief executive.

These materials can be used as a pre-reading document provided to Board members in advance of an active discussion at a regular meeting.

While the presentation has been designed to focus rapidly on the most relevant points, it is likely that Board members will have questions or comments or modifications to suggest on specific issues pertinent to the particular Board in question.

Briefing, Executive Evaluation

366

What is Executive Evaluation?

o The process of planning and reviewing theperformance of senior management.

o A means of demonstrating organizational stewardshipand accountability to stakeholders.

o A means of maintaining alignment between goals setand achievements reached.

o An element of decisions about compensation.

o A means of determining the need for furtherprofessional development, education, or training.

Other names for this process are "performance management" or "performance appraisal".

Ideally, the performance review of executives fits \,vith an overall management philosophy of an organization. In particular, the evaluation of an executive works best if the organization is disciplined about setting goals, reviewing progress, and making improvements at all levels, from Board actions through staff management.

Good performance review processes are helpful in making appropriate compensation decisions, and they should also be useful in guiding the priorities set for professional development activities.


367

What is the role of a Board in Executive Evaluation?

o Sets the annual objectives/ goals for the chief executive,reviews results and achievements annually, makescompensation decisions.

o Evaluation responsibility usually held by a smallergroup within the Board - eg. Executive Committee,Compensation Committee, Nominating Committee.

o Need to balance relationship of support and trust witha relationship of accountability.

Good working relationships between executives and Boards are important, and they create an opportunity and a challenge. (Unsatisfactory relationships are even more challenging.)

The opportunity is that in a relationship of trust and support, Board members and chief executives can have an honest dialogue about what is being accomplished, where the gaps may be, and how to maintain progress. Good relationships promote candor and constructive planning.

On the challenge side, there are two potential problems. One challenge is that Board members may represent a diverse group of voices that may not be unified in their expectations of the chief executive. Another challenge is that when relationships are close, supportive, and friendly, there can be a reluctance to bring up areas of performance that need improvement and a tendency to avoid conflict.


368

Methods and Processes for Executive Evaluation:

[J A "book-end" process --- performance assessed VERSUS objectives or expectations set earlier.

[J Matters of style: how formal versus informal; how much driven by formula versus Board discretion.

[J Multi-source feedback increases validity (Board members, subordinate staff, external contacts).

[J Combination of written and verbal communication.

A good rule of thumb for performance evaluation is "no surprises". The endof-period appraisal should reflect the tone and direction of feedback provided at earlier junctures. The best assurance of such coherence is that the evaluation be conducted versus known and established expectations.

Each organization has its own culture and degree of structure or formality in the processes by which it is managed. In particular, it is important to decide whether the performance will be "by the numbers" or whether it will include variables that are based on subjective assessment. Both are legitimate, especially with respect to the most senior leader of an organization.

While not essential, some form of feedback from more than one angle of vision increases the validity of the performance assessment. However, care must be taken with assessments done by subordinates. Personal interviews by Board members with selected staff regarding executive strengths and weaknesses will minimize the possibility of retaliatory negative input, but may also limit the candor that is sometimes available from surveys.

Performance feedback should be provided to the chief executive in written and verbal form, through the authorized representative of the Board (Board Chair or Chair of Compensation Committee, etc.).


369

Problems to Avoid:

o Don't evaluate unless you have set standards againstwhich to measure performance.

o Don't use ratings that only measure popularity orpersonality rather than results.

o Don't deliver an evaluation of raw numbers or scores;provide context and narrative commentary.

o Don't politicize the process - be aware if performanceevaluation is being used as a platform for working outstrategy differences or power issues requiring attentionfrom the Board or Director.

These advisories are intended to ensure that the process has INTEGRITY, OBJECTIVITY, and CONSTRUCTIVE VALUE.

Further, it is important to realize that ahnost any Board or staff activity such as executive evaluation can be "hijacked" in the service of an un-acknowledged conflict that may need to be addressed. Such an issue may be one that is completely unrelated to the problem of executive evaluation, such as which constituency has established the greatest level of influence on the Board, or how will the Board signal its values to outside observers.


370

Content Areas Generally Included:

o Evaluate the "WHAT" and the "HOW"(Results that should be accomplished, behaviorsthrough which leadership is demonstrated.)

o Examples of "WHAT":Fulfillment of Mission / Vision / StrategyAchievement of Specific Annual Priorities or GoalsStrategic Leadership and Resource DevelopmentOperational or Program EffectivenessFiscal and Staff ManagementPublic Relations and Advocacy

o Examples of "HOW":Personal Qualities (Integrity, Flexibility, Commitment)Interpersonal Skills (Communications, Influence)Leadership Skills (Trust, Vision, Team Development)


371

Recommended Proces:

o Establish which committee or persons shall haveongoing director evaluation responsibility. (Do theBylaws stipulate this already?)

o Establish an annual cycle with calendar dates -Approval of Coming Year Objectives by X date;Review of Previous Year's Performance by Y date;Compensation Actions by Z date.

o Use a written evaluation form. Start with a relativelysimple form*; get more detailed in the future, asneeded. (*Sample attached.)

o Invite feedback from broader group than those whohave responsibility for conducting the assessment. Forexample, ask all Board members for their written input,and seek input from selected members of staff, external

contacts, or client representatives.

o Compile feedback into a performance evaluation that

contains: a) Overall assessment; b) Affirmation ofstrengths and achievements; c) Discussion of any gapsthat are of concern; d) Suggestions for futureprofessional development.

o While compensation actions may be independent of theevaluation, pay decisions should not be incontradiction of the "message" of the evaluation.
