Summary
City staff described a proposed design-build contract with OHG Construction LLC to renovate the practice area at Hillendale Golf Course, saying improvements will expand youth programming and that user fees generally cover operations.
City staff described plans and the proposed design-build contract with OHG Construction LLC to renovate the practice area and practice-field operations at Hillendale Golf Course.
Tony Fox, the city project manager on the item, said the renovation will expand the practice tee and practice-area footprint to improve safety and allow youth programs and golf instruction to run alongside adult play. Staff said the project is intended to benefit community recreation programs and nearby schools that use the facility.
Gina Pro from the Department of Services explained that the facility's operations are largely self-supporting through user fees; operational revenues help cover ongoing expenses and smaller capital needs. Staff said large capital improvements are typically budgeted and that the proposed contract would fund the practice-area renovation under the city's capital program.
Councilors asked for statistics about usage; staff said they would gather participation and utilization data for a future update. No formal council vote on the contract was recorded during the meeting.
Staff indicated they will return with contract specifics and any required budget information as the item moves through the consent or general agenda process.
