TO: Mayor Thomas J. Weisner
FROM: Jeff Schmidt, PGA Golf Operations Manager
DATE: January 23, 2014
SUBJECT:
Resolution Authorizing the Execution of a Contract to Hire a Contractual Golf Professional for the Phillips Park and Fox Valley Golf Courses.l
PURPOSE:
To obtain City Council approval to hire a Contractual Golf Professional to assist the PGA Golf Operations Manager at city-owned golf courses for the 2014 golf season at a monthly rate of $3,500.00.
BACKGROUND:
The City owns and operates two golf courses that are open to the public 7-days a week. To reduce golf operations expenses, the City eliminated the full-time Assistant Golf Professional position in 2011. To properly manage and oversee the golf staff and day-to-day operations at both city golf courses the city has contracted a golf professional during the golf season (9 months), March through November since 2011. This operational change from a full-time city employee to a contractual employee has resulted in annual savings of approximately $50,000.00.
DISCUSSION:
A former seasonal golf employee, Casey Stanutz, was offered, subject to City Council approval, a golf professional services contract for the 2014 golf season. Mr. Stanutz has worked under my supervision in a variety capacities including the operation of food and beverage concessions since 2011. During this period of time I have observed this employee and he has fulfilled the job requirements and exceeded my expectations. I am recommending he be hired for the 2014 golf season (9 months), March through November at a monthly cost of $3,500.00. There are funds appropriated in the 2014 Golf Course budget for this expenditure in account numbers 550-4442-451.32-82 and 550-4442-451.32-82.
IMPACT STATEMENT:
N/A
RECOMMENDATIONS:
That the City Council authorizes the hire of Casey Stanutz for the Contractual Golf Professional services from March 1st through November 30th, 2014 at $3,500.00 per month.
