Council hears about ARC memberships and golf club financials; staff reports 2,000+ signups
Summary
Council members asked whether a $120,000 ARC line reflected membership sales; staff said membership revenue is included and reported over 2,000 memberships. The golf club shows a projected small surplus for the year but a current seasonal shortfall that staff expects to recover in summer.
During questioning on the April financial report, a council member asked whether a $120,000 line for the ARC represented membership revenue since opening. Finance Director Lakita Sutton said the ARC line is "strictly membership fees," and handed a follow‑up to an on‑site staff member, who reported: "We're currently seeing over 2,000 memberships."
Council members noted the goal had been 2,500 and praised rapid early uptake. Sutton advised that ARC and golf club trends are seasonal: the golf club runs on a calendar year and is slower in January–March; staff projected summer months will bring revenues more in line with budgeted expectations.
