DEVELOPMENT OF THE 2013/2014 BUSINESS PLAN The 2013/14 Golf seasons will see staff continue to implement strategies from the 2011/12 Municipal Golf Business Plans that have worked to date. Green fees will require some minor changes to right size the fees to be competitive with comparable golf courses in the London area and to achieve revenue targets set out in the 2013 budget. Exciting new changes in our physical structure and delivery of pro shop and food and beverage services will continue to improve our customer service in those areas. Improved playability, conditioning and presentation of our golf courses will continue to be our main priority in delivering a customer experience appropriate for our customers. The following strategies will be implemented in the 2013/14 Plan: Increase the availability of electric carts to meet customer demand for tournaments and everyday play at all courses. As supported by the Golf Task Force, maintain fees and offer more variety and flexibility in fees to offer cart and golf package prices for everyday play and tournament volume purchases. Council approved Fees are outlined later in the plan. Continue to implement the revenue generating and expense control aspects of the 2011/12 plans Continue to grow contributions to the reserve funds to meet the needs of capital golf course developments as laid out in the Golf Capital Plan. Maintain contingency fund of $50,000 in the golf reserves to deal with emergent issues over the next 2 years

CAPITAL PLAN The capital expenditure plan for 2013 is designed to work on features of the golf course and clubhouses that will enhance the playability and experience of the golfer while creating opportunities for increases in revenue in the cart sales and food and beverage offerings. The capital reserve fund will retain a contingency fund of $50, 000 for any emergent needs. The 2013 plan is designed to cover all direct operating costs to a neutral financial position. Any surplus revenues will be placed in the reserve fund for future capital development. The fund will be assessed at the end of 2013 and a 2014 Capital Improvement Plan will be established based on funds available. A 30% contribution from annual reserve contributions will be distributed to a long term capital plan. The 2012 contribution to long-term capital is $100,000.

LONG-TERM CAPITAL PLAN The infrastructure of the City of London Golf Courses is strong featuring state of the art irrigation systems, a fleet of well maintained turf machinery and clubhouses that have seen recent life cycle renewals to improve the customer experience and structures of the facilities. No significant golf course layout changes are planned in the next ten years. In order to improve the golf product, life cycle renewals are required in several key areas. A detailed expenditure plan for life cycle renewals over the next ten years will be developed in 2013 that focuses on recommendations from the Ian Andrew golf course study and facility condition assessment on a course by course basis. Teeing grounds will be evaluated with a focus on increasing the teeing options for the changing demographics of the modern golfer. Tees will be required to be expanded and renovated to better manage wear and tear to provide level quality teeing surfaces for all levels of players.

The cart path system needs to be overhauled. This includes resurfacing of existing paths, preparation and asphalting of proposed new paths, removal of paths that are obsolete and no longer required, paving of entrance roadways and resurfacing parking lots as necessary.

Major forestry projects will continue with removal of dead trees, trimming of dead, diseased or dangerous branches, removal of stumps and replanting of young trees. Operational budgets will continue to address annual tree maintenance.

The sand traps on all of the courses will be evaluated to determine the scope of renovations required over the lifetime of the plan. Traps will be evaluated for their congruency of design and necessity. Drainage is required on many of the traps, particularly those on the Quarry and River Road.

The clubhouses have received life cycle maintenance improvements over the past few years but will continue to require maintenance and upkeep from the capital budget. Clubhouse furniture and equipment will need to be repaired and replaced.

The irrigation systems are currently in excellent condition but will require major maintenance including lifecycle replacements of pumps, replacement of electronic components and computer software upgrades.
