Facility Use Agreements at River View Golf Course June 16, 2026 Page 2 • Robert W. Stevens • Jamie Estrada This one-year framework will allow instructors to continue independently teaching at the facility while the City and CourseCo evaluate long-term operational and programming strategies for golf instruction services at the course. The intent of the one-year instructor agreements is for CourseCo and City staff to evaluate instructor utilization, demand, and overall business activity during the first year of operation while also reviewing historical operating patterns from prior years. Based on that evaluation, more specific guardrails and performance expectations can be developed and incorporated into future instructor agreements. Our goal is to maximize the effective use of available space and instructional opportunities while ensuring continued public access and high-quality programming. The proposed agreements would permit instructors to utilize designated practice and instructional areas at River View Golf Course for private golf instruction during approved operating hours coordinated by CourseCo staff. Instructors will contract directly with the City, while CourseCo will oversee day-to-day scheduling and space allocation to ensure instructional activities do not conflict with golf course operations, public play, tournaments, or City programming. The non-exclusive structure provides the City and CourseCo with operational flexibility to accommodate multiple instructors and other facility users concurrently. Under the proposed agreements, each instructor will pay a monthly facility use fee of $500. Instructors will also be required to maintain current insurance documentation with the City, comply with all operational and safety requirements, and remain in good standing throughout the term of the agreement. The proposed $500 monthly use fee is not currently included in the City's adopted fee schedule and therefore requires City Council approval. The proposed structure is consistent with a similar non-exclusive facility use model previously approved by the City for independent aquatics instruction partnerships at City pool facilities. Approval of the proposed agreements will allow the City to maintain continuity of golf instruction services for the community during the operational transition at River View Golf Couse while establishing a clear framework for independent instructor access and operational oversight. The one-year agreement term will provide staff the opportunity to evaluate program demand, operational impacts, and potential future models for golf instruction services at the facility.
