A. Public Hearing (Continued...) (1) (Continued) anticipates spending less money in 2002 than in 2001. Mr. Nissely continued that they anticipate having an increase in rounds during the 2002 golf season. The golf season is anticipated as April through October; however this year we were able to sell rounds through November. The extra rounds during November helped to increase revenue over what was budgeted. Mr. Nissely said that the anticipated rounds for 2002 are about the same as 2001, showing growth in the real golf season. Forecasts are based upon no increase in rates for the year 2002. All the daily fee rates for residents and nonresidents should remain the same. Mr. Nissely explained that Blackthorn Golf Course plans to concentrate on a value -added marketing and packaging strategy for both the daily fee and the Association program by maintaining prices, grabbing rounds, and bundling. The goal of this strategy is to increase rounds during low -play times. Mr. Rock added that this budget has been approved by a joint committee of the South Bend Airport Authority and the Redevelopment Commission.
