FISCAL IMPACT: Analysis mdicates that a weekday/weekend green fee differential
between March ls` and October 31S` could generate addit~onal revenues of $SQ000 m 2003
PURPOSE:
The purpose of ttus memorandum is to provide the Boazd with mformation regardmg a proposal to
enact a weekend/weekday differennal greens fee at Flatuons Golf Course m 2003. The City's
Budget office has requested that the PRAB consider this item for recommendauon to City Council
as a part of the Department's 2003 budget subccuttal
BACKGROUND:
The Pazks and Recreanon Department is proposmg to Council m the 2003 Departmental Budget
submission a recommendahon to enact a dtfferenUal weekend/weekday greens fee for F1atu~ons Golf
Course. The current 2002 fee schedule and the proposed differenual fee is oudmed m Attachment
#A As outlmed, the weekday fee would be applicable Monday through Thursday The weekend
fee would be apphcable Fnday, Saturday and Sunday, and would mclude Monday holidays.
ANALYSIS:
In accordance wrth city's finance pohcies, revenues-generated from user fees at the Flahrons Golf
/""°'' Course should cover direct and a portion of indirect costs The 2003 operat~ng budget for Flatirons
~r...
AGENDA ITEM # VII-B Pa¢e 1
Golf Course has a revenue tazget of about $1 5 milhon mcludmg $13Q000 capital expansion
funding ~
~
As golf course operatmg expenses contmue to mcrease each year, it becomes difficult to generate
sufficient revenues to balance the budget. In 2001, the golf course did not make sufficient revenues
to contrtbute to its capital expansion fundmg It appeazs that mcreased revenues will be needed to
fund operaaons and capital expansion m the fumre
In 2001, the Parks and Recreauon Advisory Boazd approved a Master Plan concept plan wtuch will
eventually remove the pro shop and FlaUrons Buildmg, expand the dnvmg range, reconfigure the
pazkmg lot and develop a smaller facihty for golf course and banquet use only. The esumated costs
are m the range of $4 to $5 million. Addmonally, due to the drought, the golf course will spend
$50,000 tlus wmter to dredge out vanous ponds on the golf course to hold more water for unga[ion
purposes. There aze other mfrastructure needs mcludmg rebuildmg golf greens, tees and fainvays,
and updatrng the golf course ungation sys[em The golf course needs to maximize revenues m order
to fund caprtal needs
Plavers Fees in Municiual Golf Market
The use of weekday/weekend differenhal green fees for golf is not umque m the mumcipal golf
mazket Weekdays aze considered Monday through Thursday, and weekends are considered Fnday,
Saturday, Sunday, and Monday hohdays
Attachment B is a survey of 2002 gteen fees for 18 separate golf courses m our mazket area. Of the ^'~
18 courses idenufied m Attachment B, 11 of them have a differenual weekday/weekend fee for golf `~
Most mumcipahties have not set greens fees for 2003, but it appeazs that the proposed 2003
weekday/weekend differential fee structure w~ll place F1atu~ons Golf Course m the average for what
is chazged for golf m the mumcipal market area
Attachment C is an analysis of potential revenue impacts of the proposed differential fees Staff
looked at actual revenues generated over a 10 week penod from roughly June 13- Augus[ 25, 2002.
Of the 20,149 rounds of golf played dunng ttus tune penod, appro~mately 42% occurred dunng the
weekend t~me penod. Total revenue for greens fees generated dunng the weekend ume penod was
$183,885 Staff also looked at revenue pro~ect~ons based on a typical fee mcrease for 2003, wluch
has normally been an mcrease of $0.50 for 9 holes, and $1 00 for 18 holes Assunung the same
number of weekend rounds m 2003, an additional $6,700 would be generated with the normal fee
mcrease. Staff also pro~ected revenues with the weekend differentral fee increase m place Based
on our analysis, we beheve an addrtional $33,500 could be generated with the differential fees over
the 2002 actual weekend revenue collected. Staff beheves that if the weekend rate mcrease is
msatuted year round, revenues would mcrease by $75,000 ff the weekend rate mcrease is msrituted
between March 1 and October 31, revenues would mcrease by $50,000.
Attachment D provides a look at the impact on revenues based on a reduction m rounds played
dunng the same hme penod. We looked at scenanos of 5%, 10% and 12.5% reductions in rounds ~
played and the potential impacts on revenues Based on our analysis, it would take approximately ~x,,
AGENDA TTEM # VII-B Pase 2
a 12.5°lo reducnon of rounds to affect revenues negatively compazed to revenues generated for the
normal fee mcrease.
~
~ Advantages for implementing a differential fee system:
1 It appeazs that a differenhal fee system will razse revenues We believe that ttus system could
ruse more than $75,000 in revenues yeazly
2. The differential fee system would not create issues wrth pass holders during the mazn golfing
season, smce annual passes are not valid on weekends currently.
3. A differential fee system follows an acceptable pracace by many municipal golf courses in our
mazket area Thus, many golfers expect to pay more to play on weekends than weekdays.
4. A differenual system dces not create a scenano of dimuustung returns because demand for golf
on most weekends exceeds the available supply
5 Implemenhng a weekday/weekend differendal is easdy accomphshed wuh the new point of sale
system implemented dunng the summer of 2002.
6. A weekday/weekend fee differential is not unique to the departxnent. A weekday/weekend fee
differenual is already m place at Boulder Reservoir.
Potential disadvantages with implementing a differential fee system:
1. A differential weekend rate implemented year round would potentially impact annual pass
holders who cunently can use their passes to play on weekends between November 1 and
February 28 or 29~' each year
~ 2 The pro~ected weekend fee mcrease is greater than the typical fee mcreases that have been
~... implemented dunng the past few yeazs Instead of a$1 00 per 18 holes round mcrease for
resident players, the weekend mcrease would be $5 00 per 18 holes There could be some
complaznts about the amount of the fee mcrease. However, based on the current fees chazged
for golf m courses surveyed, the mcrease still places Boulder m the average of the range of fees
chazged throughout the mazket.
Oations to Consider
r"""
~...-
1 Do nottung except implement the standard yearly mcrease m fees that have been
implemented dunng the past six yeazs. However, there could sull be issues associated with
not havmg sufficient dollazs to provide for future capital improvements at the course.
2. Implement a differenhal weekday/weekend fee system for the entire year Thus, every
Fnday-Sunday, and all Monday or ma~or holidays would have lugher fees.
3. Implement a differenUal weekend fee system dunng the pnme golfing season. The pnme
golfing season could be sirrulaz to the system for accephng annual passes Thus, the
differential weekend system would be Mazch 1 through October 31. The weekend
differential would also mclude Memonal Day, July 4`~ and Labor Day
PUBLIC COMMENT AND PROCESS:
Tlus item is bemg heazd at Uus pubhc meehng, as advertised m the Dazly Camera.
AGENDA TTEM # VII-B Pa2e 3
STAFF RECONINIENDATION:
"~s
Staff recommends that the Parks and Recreat~on Advisory Boazd approve a plan to enact a ~`
weekend/weekday differenual fee for greens fees at Flatuons Golf Course m 2003. Our
recommendahon is to implement ttus differennal fee on weekends between March 1- October 31
only, mcludmg the ma~or holidays of Memonal Day, July 4~' and Labor Day each year. Between
November 1- February 28`~ or 29th each year, there would not be a weekend fee differenhal and the
greens fees would be the standazd weekday fee dunng ttus tune penod Staff beheves that there is
a potential of mcreasing revenues by $50,000 with ttus system.

QULDER - With all the ink that's been
spilled in Boulder County on prairie dogs,
reading all about it happened long ago.
Or did it?
On Thursday, city of Boulder Parks and
Recreation staff unveiled the county's one and
only prairie dog
interpretive trail.

tures sweat the details. Most burrows include
several holes to ensure both good air circulation
and easy escape.
Intruders ranging from rabbits and turtles to
snakes and spiders find prairie dog burrows hos-
pitable. But when they invade, the dogs quickly
unite to build an earthen barrier so they can live
in peace.
Deeper down, the prairie dogs make bed-
rooms and line
ra ence.
A combination
of photos, illustrations and text explains how
prairie dogs interact with their habitat. For in-
stance, one plaque - titled "A House in a Town"
- depicts a single burrow.
According to the sign, in a single burrow,
prairie dogs can dig 7 feet below the surface and
create as much as 80 feet of tunnels.
Like the Army Corps of Engineers, these crea-
them wllh soft
~ grasses. They even
dig out a nursery.
~ort-grass prairie has always "A lot of people

grazing animals. Natide plants said. "I3ul they actu-
~imals are adap~ed to thrive in ally have only one
diHicult conditions. litter per year, typi-
cally with only
three to five pups.
Only approximately
40 percent of them
make it to the next
year.°
Within these burrows, clear family units exist.
The plaque explains lhat members often greet
each other with "prairie dog kisses" - touching
teeth ur noses.
But for all the burrow's protection, prairie
dogs still must deal with natural predators.
"A lot of people see what goes on out here, but
they don't have a full understanding of the circle
of life," said city ranger and naturalist Matt
Claussen. "(The raptors) don't just eat fish."
A plaque identifies those predators as golden
eagles and hawks - red-tailed, Swainson's and
ferruginous.
Claussen installed the signs, and said he plans
to plant two old 25-foot telephone poles to give
the birds a place to hang out and balance the
habitat.
Believe it or not, the prairie dog interpretive
trail idea didn't flower in Boulder.
City environmental resource specialist and in-
terpretive trail pmject manager Joy Master
said she got inspired last Seplember after tour-
ing the model Cathy Fromme Prairie Natural
Area in Fort Collins.
After securing permission from the city of
Fort Collins' Natural Resource Deparlment, she
said, she lift.ed about 70 percent of the text to bet-
ter fit the displays to the Boulder Reservoir habi-
tat.
A$20,000 Dr. Scholl Foundation grant covered
the cost of commissioning Boulder-based ECOS
Communications to complete sign production
and design.
"It's a lot of education to mnkc sure people un-
derstand the biology of the prau•ie dogs," Master
explained. "It's to encourage (visitors) in work-
ing with them instead of working against them."
Less than 1 percent of the West's historic
prairie dog population exists today, according to
