and assessing the NGF Report from a local lens
o David's report is close to complete and Chris presented a summary of takeaways from
the forthcoming analysis.

help it become financially successful
o Tim concurred that the improvements recommended are exactly what the gold course
needs
o Question about what an appropriate increased green fee would be

increased construction costs
Open House #2 Concepts
o Chris recommended that we move forward with 3 proposed options
■ Concept A — Renovated Golf Course
■ Concept B — Hybrid Golf Course
■ Concept C — Adapted Golf Course
o Location of renovated pool facility has not yet been determined, could happen on Golf
course site or on Mt. View site.
o Carrie commented that a majority of the public (70-80%) who attended the Pool open
House would like to site the pool at Mt. View
o Stakeholder conversation that they cannot make recommendation on concepts with
confirmation on proposed pool location
o Questions on Hybrid golf course concept...
o Rebecca asked if increased green fees could actually support updates to the golf course
o Monica suggested that there is too much specificity in Concept B
■ Carrie countered that the team needs to look at realistic solutions to be able to
move forward and make a decision

o Stakeholder comment that these options do represent what community has asked for but
the list is still too broad
o Matt commented that concept B is a well thought out option.
o John commented that the three options are appreciated, team has done a nice job,
added that adding active edge along Blaine St. should be added to the list along with
maintaining 9 hole course.
o Question about feasibility of keeping dog park on Mt. View site.
■ Carrie commented that in all cases the dog park likely has to move
o Lynn asked if golf course could be reduced by creating par -3 course
■ Chris answered that gf consultant does not think par -3 is a financially sustainable
model for the site
o Carrie read a letter submitted by Gabe, suggesting 4 district options
o Tim commented that lease negotiation needs to be resolved before the end of year in
order to allow new uses to phase into being.
o Suggestion to modify concept B to allow more future flexibility of use.
o Question on combined parking need/usage
■ Chris responded that parking need for future pool facility is significant. Team is
looking at improving golf course parking lot, adding additional street parking
along Blaine, looking at additional off-street parking locations etc.
