SUMMARY STATEMENT
We are pleased to present a following plan of action for implementing
provisions of the "Vision of the Riverfront," as directed by City
Council. The 1993 Plan of Action calls for a five (5) point plan
utilizing current fiscal year budget allocations. Essentially, the
plan would address improvements to Indian River Drive, park
improvements, the U. S. #1 median improvement project, relocating the
Chamber of Commerce to the 1959 City Hall Building, and revisions to
the Land Development Code, including rezoning certain areas of the
riverfront area.
A more detailed report is attached for your perusal and discussion at
the upcoming Workshop Meeting. I ask City Council to review each of
the five (5) items and direct staff accordingly.
RECOMMENDED ACTION
Move to accept the 1993 Plan of Action Dated, December 18, 1992 and:
1. authorize and direct staff to initiate improvements for Indian
River Drive, 2. authorize and direct staff to initiate park
improvements. 3. authorize and direct staff to implement U. S. #1
median improvements, 4. authorize the City Manager to negotiate with
the Chamber of Commerce and 5. authorize and direct the City Attorney
to prepare ordinances for rezoning and amendments to the Land
Development Code.

Improving the Financial Operations at S.M.G.C
My name is Robert W. Faust And I live at 329 Main street
Sebastian. I have been a member of the Sebastian Municipal
Golf Course since 1984.My wife and I are here about 10
Months a year and between us play about 5 rounds a week.
Therefore in addition to my approximately $800.00/year
in dues and club storage I pay about $1600.00/year in
cart rentals since we always ride.As a~member and customer
I am three times as valuable as a member who always walks
the course. I would like to offer the following suggestions
to improve the financial operations at the golf course.
Cart rental revenue is the most important income
producer at the golf course. In the past Two fiscal years
cart revenue has totaled $918,000.00. Cart operating costs
were $222,000.00 which includes $48,000.00 for new carts
and $13,000.00 for cart path improvements.Using the members
price of $8.00/round per person to rent a cart the profit
per round per person on cart rentals is $6.07. People
who rent carts subsidize the golf cost of peoplr who walk
by more than $6.00 per round.per person. During the Golden
Time from January 1 to April 15 no nonmembers should be
allowed to walk.Members who choose to walk should pay
$6.00 trail fee to compensate the golf course for loss
of revenues during its most potentially profitable period.
During the off season less restrictive rules should be
followe dictated by competition.
On mondays in the off season one of the members
runs an eight A.M. start shot gun tournament for anyone
who signs up.Many golfers enjoy a game with a little
competition. Since the prize money is low, it costs $2.00
to enter which does not attract wise guys but does attract
non-members players with flag cards.This activity should
be promoted by the golf course and extended to fridays.
Recently the policy was changed to allow golfers
to use tournament winning slips for other then pro shop
sales. While I personaly loved the change it's a bad move
financially and can only cost pro shop sales.
Eliminate all starters and have the cart man or
women perform their duties. One person can easily do both,
and this will easily save at least $30,000.00/year.
During shot gun starts make the players pay and turn thief
slips in at the turn, and collect the prize money in the
office,
!
Shake up the rangers, teach them to promote faster
play and have them help the starter/cartperson.
One last note on having memberships. There is no
question that memberships cost revenue during January,
February and March, but provide extra play during the off-
season. If my wife and I wern't members our off season golf
would certainly be spread around other courses.
