RULE ANALYSIS

Purpose of the rule or reason for the change:

In the last amendment, there was inconsistency with a green fee increase regarding the 20-punch pass and Senior Fee that are directly related to the General Public greens fee and should be increased in equal proportion. An amount of $20 was recommended and passed by the board for the 20-Punch Pass that is currently $220, and will become $240 with this increase. Also, it has been our policy to cover the full cost of operating and maintaining our courses. Costs are continuing to increase, e.g., fertilizer, sand, irrigation supplies, and in order to keep pace, it is believed that a small increase is in order and make the changes small enough that the impact to the recreating golfer will not be significant: an increase of $1 for 9 holes and a $2 increase for 18 holes of play.

Summary of the rule or change:

The changes: increase 9-hole play by $1 from $13.50 to $14.50, and increase for 18 holes of play by $2. Parks is comparable to other like golf courses. The 20-Punch Pass is being increased to be consistent with other like fees that have been increased in the recent past, i.e., Senior Fee and General Public greens fee.

State statutory or constitutional authorization for this rule:

Section 63-11-17

Anticipated cost or savings to:

the state budget:

The total anticipated increase with these changes would be approximately $30,000 in revenue for the state.

local governments:

In determining whether or not a rule change has an impact on local government, the division looks at the following variables: impact on sales or T&O taxes, impact on local resources (law enforcement, water, sewer, etc.), potential for delivery of services (temporary or permanent), and impact on local entity property (temporary or permanent). Using these criteria, the state can determine that local government is not involved in this change or increase and therefore, there are no anticipated costs or savings to local government.

small businesses and persons other than businesses:

The state considers variables such as competition to small businesses, impact on visitation to area and businesses, potential services provided by local business, and any extemporaneous costs affecting local businesses. With these items researched, it is determined that there are no anticipated costs or savings to small businesses and persons other than businesses.

Compliance costs for affected persons:

Those who purchase a 20-Punch Pass will pay $20 more per year and those who play 9 holes (general public) will pay $1 more than they did before. No way to estimate that amount at this time.

Comments by the department head on the fiscal impact the rule may have on businesses:

There should be minimal impact on businesses because of this rule change. Michael R. Styler, Executive Director
