South Bend Redevelopment Commission <br />Regular Meeting –October 2, 2009 <br /> <br />6. NEWOLD BUSINESS (CONT.) <br /> <br />C. Airport Economic Development Area <br /> <br />(2) continued… <br /> <br />remaining in its Capital Budget for 2009. <br />About $18,000 is the result of lower costs of <br />completing capital projects, and $8,000 is <br />due to a decision to defer one project until <br />2010. The $8,000 was allocated to in-house <br />bunker renovations and which cannot <br />proceed this year because of a lack of staff to <br />dedicate towards this project while still <br />maintaining the course to golfers’ <br />expectations and the lack of the proper <br />equipment to do it. Blackthorn hopes to <br />complete the bunker project using a <br />contractor in 2011 if the funding is available. <br /> <br />Blackthorn Golf Course wished to purchase a <br />new rough mower to replace a worn out one, <br />and to have new cart paths installed on holes <br />seven and eight. The quote for a mower <br />came in at $24,000, so there are not funds to <br />purchase it and install the cart paths. Golf <br />course staff has decided to purchase the <br />mower and let the cart paths wait until 2010. <br /> <br />Mr. Inks noted that none of the funds <br />involved here are from TIF. Rather they are <br />from operating revenues generated by BGC. <br />Since the Commission annually approved the <br />golf course budget, it must approve this <br />change. <br /> <br />C <br />Upon a motion by Mr. Downes, seconded by <br />OMMISSION APPROVED THE BUDGET REVISIONS <br />BGC <br />TO THE LACKTHORN OLF OURSE CAPITAL <br />Mr. Varner and unanimously carried, the <br /> <br />IMPROVEMENT BUDGET <br />Commission approved the budget revisions <br />to the Blackthorn Golf Course capital <br />improvement budget. <br /> <br /> 13 <br /> <br />
