Mr. Lind, Chairperson of the Finance Committee, reported: 1) The first of two Finance Committee meetings was held on February 2; and in attendance were all committee members, Council Members Lampert and Nashar, Mayor Boyle, Finance Director Burns and Service Director Bahlmarin. Agenda items were as follows: a. Ordinance 93-159, which is the note ordinance authorizing the issuance of $4.1 million in notes to pUrclzase Springvale Golf Course. This is to be a 25- year borrowing with approximately $300,000 per year in debt service costs. The Administration feels that the course will pay for itself. There will be approximately $300,000 of expenses that the city will not be required to pay, such as real estate taxes and certain payroll expenses. The schools will probably lose same revenue, but the sharing of course facilities cost free. should result jn reduced operating expenses for the school system. The golf carts are leased by Springvale through the year 2000, and one-third. of the carts are replaced each year. b. Ordinance 93-160, which authorizes the establishment of a separate fund for the golf course. All revenues and expenditures will be recorded in this fund. After much discussion, the camtnittae agreed to recammen~d approval of both ordinances with the condition that, if sufficient financial data is not received during subsequent discussicros, the committee may recommend against approval of the acquisition. 3
