� South Bend Redevelopment Commission <br />\r% Regular Meeting - December 2, 1994 <br />6. NEW BUSINESS (Cont.) <br />C. continued... <br />projected. Mr. Faccenda stressed that <br />Blackthorn Golf Course is only the first <br />development of Blackthorn Corporate <br />Park. The success of the golf course has <br />drawn attention away from Chicago and its <br />suburbs to South Bend for business <br />development. <br />Mrs. Kolata noted that the Blackthorn <br />Joint Committee considered the proposed <br />1995 rates for Blackthorn Golf Course and <br />the proposed 1995 budget and recommends <br />that the Commission accept them. She <br />asked Mr. Rippey to explain both items. <br />Mr. Rippey noted that the preliminary <br />1994 -1995 budget proposed to use the <br />same pricing in both 1994 and 1995. The <br />staff recommends keeping the basic rates <br />for residents and non - residents the same in <br />1995 ($39.00 resident weekday; $43.00 <br />resident weekend; $51.00 non - resident <br />weekday; $56.00 non - resident weekend, <br />including cart). In addition, the staff <br />recommends some changes based on <br />experience thus far: 1) start twilight rate <br />one hour earlier to encourage its use; 2) <br />establish a 9 -hole rate the first two hours <br />of tee times and last two hours of tee times <br />each day ($20.00 resident weekday and <br />$26.00 non - resident weekday); 3) offer an <br />off season rate before and after the official <br />season. Mr. Rippey noted that these <br />changes do not diminish the revenue <br />stream for the heart of the season; rather, <br />they create opportunities to increase the <br />course revenue. <br />-7- <br />
