Subject:

Status update and presentation by Touchstone Golf with discussion and possible action to approve the additional funding of supplemental budget for the Casa Blanca Golf Course where shortfalls have presented in the following line items [Various Funding Sources to be Considered]:

1) Reimbursable Labor. The main adjustment is for the Golf/Carts/Maintenance budget with a requested increase of $135,520. Touchstone utilizes a staffing model that focuses on a reasonable staffing allocation, while making sure adequate personnel are available to maintain the golf course properly. We suspect the original budget had fewer workers particularly in maintenance and the overall operation of the golf course, without any significant food and beverage operation was far less active than currently. A small adjustment to the budget for Food & Beverage requested ($2,869) and also for G&A ($17,507). A summary of these changes are found op the attached page. The total requested payroll budget increase requested is $155,896. It should be noted that without doing a transfer from the F&B department, the Golf/Carts/Maintenance reimbursable labor will fall short for the 1st payroll in June.

2) Cost of Sales. We had anticipated using an accrual accounting based adjustment so that t e cost of sales accounts could be replenished as sales too place. In discussing this with the Auditor's office it is clear we have to have a cash based process for budgeting for cost of sales. As such, we are adding $50,000 to the Merchandise cost of sales and $12,000 to the Food & Beverage
Department ($8,000 food, $4,000 non-alcoholic beverages). Combined the total requested increase in cost of sales is $62,000.

3) Remaining Expenses. The remaining expenses are found in the budget detail attached. The larger items include by grouping:
a. $28,000 for various basic repairs and maintenance
b. $17,500 for materials and supplies - this is basically fulfillment of new course amenities including ball washers, trash cans and water dispensers
c. $14,500 primarily for fertilizers and chemicals
d. $11,700 for range supplies (mats, dividers, bag stands, targets)
