County approves 80 golf carts purchase for Valley View and marketing contract for two courses
Summary
Davis County approved purchase of 80 Yamaha golf carts for Valley View Golf Course and renewed a two-year marketing contract with Fairways Media for Davis Park and Valley View; presenters said trade-ins and prior sales reduced the county's out-of-pocket cost and rent income is expected to repay the purchase quickly.
The Davis County Commission on Jan. 6 approved procurement of 80 Yamaha golf carts for Valley View Golf Course and a two-year service agreement with Fairways Media to provide social-media marketing for Davis Park and Valley View.
Dustin Volk described the golf-cart purchase as an enterprise-fund expense paid from golf course funds. Transcript notes and staff commentary indicate a listed contract amount (recorded in the staff report verbatim as "300 and, $48,960"); staff explained trade-ins and prior sales reduced the county’s out-of-pocket expense to about $194,000. Volk summarized the math: "So our true out of pocket expense for this new fleet is only gonna be a 194,000." He also said cost of ownership is about $2,400 per cart and that, at current rental rates, the carts would be paid for by May.
The marketing contract with Fairways Media covers two courses at $5,000 per course per year for a two-year term (total $20,000 over two years). Commissioners thanked staff for the work and approved the procurement and contract by voice vote.
Next steps: execute procurement and service agreements, finalize delivery and integration with the parking-lot renovation schedule, and implement the marketing plan for the golf courses.
