The Citizens Golf Advisory
Council (CGAC) was established in 1984 by the Parks and Recreation Department.
The purpose of the council is to provide a forum giving interested citizens
and golf patrons the opportunity to communicate with Parks and Recreation
staff - to offer suggestions and recommendations for the improvement
of the golf courses to include: maintenance, food and beverage, tournaments,
fees and the pro shops.
The council is a volunteer
citizen body that serves without pay and is appointed by the Phoenix
Parks and Recreation Board based on recommendations of the Director.
Members serve a three-year term and are elibible to serve two consecutive
terms.
The CGAC meets on the third
Wednesday of the month, at the Golf Division Offices Conference Room
located at Encanto Park, 2705 N. 15th Ave., just north of the Encanto
Clubhouse. The meetings are open to the public. The meeting agenda
is posted on the city's
public meeting website 24 hours prior to each meeting.
Meetings are subject to cancellation if a quorum is not reached.
Call (602) 495-0151 for confirmation.

The Enterprise System
On June 8, 1981 the City
Council passed a resolution making city golf course operations a separate
"enterprise system." This means that golf operations are funded
solely from golf revenue and not from tax revenue. Other city enterprise
systems include Aviation, Civic Plaza and Water Services.
Golf income is derived from
green fees and concessionaires' agreements. No money derived from the
golf enterprise fund leaves the Golf Division. Excess income can be
used for increased maintenance, new machinery or capital improvements.
If income falls below expenses, fee adjustments may be required. |
