Golf Course Reorganization <br /> <br />The Golf Course Manager indicated that before he came on staff he had reviewed the <br />budget and had some suggestions for changes that he hoped to implement. For <br />example, there are a number of line items categorized as “miscellaneous”. Between <br />the grounds and clubhouse budget, there are several thousand dollars lumped into <br />“miscellaneous” line items. <br /> <br />In addition, before coming on board he noted the fact that the City was employing two <br />year-round clubhouse staff/golf professionals. He explained that in the golf industry its <br />unusual to have two year-round clubhouse personnel and more common to have an <br />equipment manager on staff year-round to avoid costs associated with outsourcing <br />equipment repairs. He pointed out that the City spent approximately $10,000-$15,000 <br />annually to outsource equipment repairs. <br /> <br />The Golf Course Manager explained that during the strike it became apparent to him <br />that his first impressions of the organizational structure at the golf course were correct. <br />With the Assistant Clubhouse Manager out on strike, it became apparent that there was <br />no need to have two full-time supervisory level clubhouse staff on board. <br />The organizational chart contained in the staff report outlines a revised organizational <br />structure that does not include an Assistant Clubhouse Manager position. The <br />proposed organizational chart includes a Golf Course Manager who would oversee <br />grounds maintenance and equipment repair. <br /> <br />Council Member Stigney inquired as to Mr. Longville’s title, which he believed to be Golf <br />Course Manager. He expressed concern about changing Mr. Longville’s title, which is <br />listed in the organizational chart as Director of Golf Operations. Mr. Longville explained <br />that he was proposing that the new grounds/equipment position be entitled Golf Course <br />Manager to make it consistent with its counterpart in the clubhouse—Clubhouse
