To this end, it is the desire of City Council that the ------~. members of the Board establish communication liaison with responsible members of the City Administrative Staff, and City outside Advisors and Consultants, on the design, construction and operation of the City • • -2- • of La Porte Municipal Golf Course. To this end, City Council particu- larly desires to have the advice and recommendations of the Board on the following specific matters, although this list should not be taken as exclusive, but merely representative: (1) The final plans and specifications for the construction of an eighteen (18) hole golf course, with associated support facilities, as prepared by the City's Golf Course Designers, together with any other architects and engineers working with the Golf Course Designers, on Golf Course related facilities, such as driving range, buildings, parking facilities, and the like. It is the desire of City Council that the Golf Course be designed and constructed, which will be of the very highest quality, for the citizens of La Porte, to encourage recreatio- nal activity and maximize the use of the facility.• (2) The best mode of operation of the Golf Course, whether by the City of La Porte Parks & Recreation Department, or a contract with an outside private firm. The Board is directed to conduct a cost-benefits analysis on the various possible approaches to management of the golf course facility, when completed and open for play. Pro-forma budgets for various contemplated forms of operation of the golf course would be helpful to City Council in making its decision on this important matter. (3) Upon completion and opening of the golf course, City Council desires the Board to continue its oversight of the operation of the•City of La Porte Municipal Golf Course, in making re- commendations to City Council from time to time, as it deems appropriate, as to any changes or corrections in the operation of the facility which will enhance its benefits to its patrons.
