Design Standards for Golf Course Residential Project. Mr. Hendler moved to approve
Design Performance Criteria for the Golf Course Residential Project prepared by
J-U-B Engin-ers, Inc. Seconded by Mrs Boothe Motion carried
Mr. Crutchfield introduced Mr Russ Burtner to Council and thanked him for his
work on the project
Golf Course Clubhouse Mr Hendler presented sketch designs for new proposed
building at the Golf Course It would include a new pro shop and restaurant He
stated that the architect said the restaurant would remain where it is, however,
the interior of the building would have to be completely re-done. The architect's
estimate was $263,000, but Mr Hendler believed that amount could be reduced somewhat
He suggested that $10,000 be put aside for outside visual improvements, since it will
be the first building seen entering the new housing project at the Golf Course
The City Manager pointed out that normally bids are not taken until financing is
obtained, however, because of the weather, he believed a vote should be taken on an
acceptance bid at the next council meeting. It was suggested that it be financed
with revenue bonds and hotel/motel/convention taxes. The City Manager replied that
a legal opinion was needed because the revenue bonds may be taxable and the Hotel/
Motel Fund may not be a legal source of financing this kind of project.
It was further suggested that present tourist information booth which closes in the
fall could be moved to a portion of new clubhouse during off-season times With
proper signing, people could be directed to the new facility.
Mrs. Green asked whether or not there was enough revenue from the Golf Course now to
pay off the existing debts. The City Manager replied that $16,000 had been set
aside for debt service and could be put to use as debt service for the new club
house. He will have a full report at next Workshop Meeting of the City Council

of existing clubhouse and construction of a new pro shop at the Pasco Municipal
