Council approves construction of 46 golf-cart storage sheds at municipal course; staff to set fees
Summary
The council approved moving forward with construction of 46 eight-by-10 golf-cart sheds at the city golf course. The project is budgeted and will be built from existing capital funds; staff will prepare a lease and fee schedule for council approval.
Roosevelt City Council on Oct. 25 authorized moving forward with construction of 46 new golf-cart storage sheds at the municipal golf course and awarded the project to the recommended contractor within the packet.
Project details and funding
- Scope: 46 storage sheds (8 by 10) with roll-up doors; sheds will be double-sided in layout and built with concrete pads. The project memo lists a recommended award of $165,129.50; the fiscal-year budget contains $252,203 for the project. - Purpose: City staff said the sheds will replace dozens of privately placed personal sheds, reduce liability, and create additional parking on the golf-course property. - Procurement: Staff solicited bids; three vendors responded and the recommended bidder’s package included concrete and shed installation plus material bins to clean the lot.
Council concerns and follow-up
Council members asked for clearer lease terms, a fee and escalation schedule, and provisions about prohibited uses (for example, fire risk from fuel cans). The council also asked that the contract and fee schedule include an exit provision if a future fee schedule increase makes tenants ineligible; staff recommended three-year terms with renewal options but will return with final language.
The council voted unanimously to authorize the project and to direct parks staff to prepare lease agreements, a fee schedule and a public-notice plan for existing shed owners to remove their structures and pursue rental spots.
Next steps
- Parks staff to publish lease terms and proposed monthly/annual fees and present them to council at the next meeting. - Staff will notify existing shed owners with a timeline to remove private sheds; staff said unclaimed structures may be handled per city property rules if owners do not remove them.
