City staff reported preliminary year-end figures for the golf enterprise and said the audit/certification is expected in November. Staff reported a surplus number and year-to-date revenue and expense figures and commissioners used the update to press for payback and contingency planning related to any potential capital project.
At the meeting staff reported a preliminary surplus figure of $191,000 for the fiscal year-end and said the department usually receives formal certification of year-end numbers in November. Staff also reported year-to-date revenue and expense snapshots and said additional receipts are expected in the next two weeks.
Commissioners asked for high-level debt-service and repayment scenarios before approving any study or capital commitment. One commissioner asked the city's bond or financing advisor for a ballpark monthly payment estimate on a hypothetical $6 million, 20-year note; staff said the packet included a response from a bonding advisor and that more detailed payback scenarios would be part of later materials.
No vote was taken; commissioners requested clearer financial scenarios tied to any capital planning.
