Golf committee asks for detailed breakdown of town's FY2026 enterprise-fund assessment

At its May 18 meeting the Yarmouth Golf Enterprise Committee (GEC) asked Assistant Town Administrator Amy Friguletti to provide a detailed accounting of the Town's yearly assessment applied to the golf enterprise fund for fiscal year 2026. The minutes note the assessment entry as "FY 2026 -400K."

Friguletti explained that the Town assesses a flat percentage of revenues on three enterprise funds'Golf, Water and Septage'and described the assessment as the underlying support for the Town's charge against golf revenues. Committee members requested an itemized breakdown of the actual cost of services covered by the assessment and any offsets for services that Golf Operations provides to the Town. Friguletti agreed to consult with the Finance Committee and Town personnel and to provide the requested details to the GEC.

Committee members also discussed the mechanics for accepting memorial gifts intended for Golf operations and noted the current process requires gifts to be given to the Town, which then forwards them to Golf. The GEC indicated further discussion is anticipated once Friguletti supplies the requested financial and service-offset information. The committee did not take a formal vote on an assessment change at the meeting.
