2.
a. Discussion regarding the funding for the Evergreen Point Golf Course project.
Acting General Manager Bottoms presented the agenda item and stated that Council approved to
move forward with the golf course project to the voters in November. He stated that if the voters
approve the project, a request will be made to MDD Board to pick up the debt service of the
bonds by transferring the debt service for the West District to the water and sewer fund. He
further stated that being that this is an economic development project on the south side staff will
also request for MDD to pick up the operations costs, if any. He stated that the consultants were
confident that the operational costs could take care of itself and that there's minimal subside
required on the part of the City or MDD to make the course operate. He stated that the project
includes the purchasing of three (3) pieces of additional property: property from the Wells for
purchasing the property from the Hazelwood's, 25 acres from the Hazelwood's in which the
Wells did not purchase, and 198 acres of the Phillips property which is west of the current golf
course. He further stated that the estimated cost for this project is approximately $12.5 million.
Additionally, he stated that since MDD would be the funding source all sales tax would take on
the debt service and there would not be a tax increase to the citizens.
Director Jirrels inquired if there were other amenities included in the $12.5 million other than the
golf course. In response to Director Jirrels inquiry, Mayor DonCarlos stated that expanding the
clubhouse is part of the plan in which there would be another funding source for its expansion.
Director Presley inquired if there would be any sort of cap that MDD would contribute to the
subsidee, and if it's a lot greater than anticipated if the City would also incur a portion of the
subsidee as well. In response to Director Presley's inquiry, Mayor DonCarlos stated that a cap
would be prudent and would also be considered for this project.
