I <br />1 <br />i ' <br />REQUEST FOR COUNCIL ACTION <br />council.. <br />OCT 12 iyy8 <br />CfTY C ' . P/.' NO <br />DATE: October 12. 1998 <br />ITEM NO •= H <br />Department Approval: <br />Name Gregory A. Gappa <br />Title Director of Public Services <br />Administrator Reviev/ed: <br />Item Description: Golf Course Painting <br />Agenda Section: <br />Engineer's Report <br />Attached you will find a memo from Ron Steffenhagen, Golf Course Manager regarding an <br />artist's painting of one of the golf course holes. Next year is the 75th anniversary of the opening <br />of the Orono Golf Course. This could be a good way to recognize this event. Approximately <br />25,000 rounds of golf ar^ played at the course each season, with only about fifty senior citizen <br />season passes sold each year. This means that are a substantial number of people, that play golf <br />at the course each year, that would be potential customers for the purchase of a painting. <br />The cost is $5,000 for 480 prints. At $25 per print, sale of the first 200 prints would recover the <br />costs. Two hundred of the prints would have a 75th anniversary logo on them. Purchase of these <br />paintings would be funded from the Golf course fund. The fund balance is about $200,000. I will <br />have a sample painting at the Council meeting for your review. <br />COUNCIL ACTION REQUESTED: <br />Discuss/Approve purchase of 480 prints of a golf course hole painting for $5,000 for resale at the <br />golf course. Funding would be from the golf course fund.
