The best I can find is on page 35 of the Preliminary Budget Workshop Presentation from the March 19 AAC budget workshop Just one item in the CIP fund request: "Mira Mesa New Constructed Golf Maintenance Facility $1,500,000"

It is also a line item in the budget review packet from the May 8 meeting. No details, just a number. The June agenda has not been published yet.

The 1.7 does seem strong, jus wanted to see the details before getting heartburn.

Obviously the land is free, but what are the costs for utilities, washbay, maint shop, etc.

Hopefully they will publish.

I think they legally have to publish eventually...

$1.7M for what is reported to be an 1,800sqft structure..... Seems my approx 1,800sqft home with all its extra walls, plumbing fixtures, and kitchen appliances is undervalued by at least a factor of 3!

Bill should be able to confirm, but a maintenance building isn’t just a shell to store mowers

Doesn’t it need a place to clean equipment, sharpen blades, change oil, fuel mowers, etc.
How many holes will the facility serve?

This is from a GM job description for a club in the northeast. It’s a premier club, but only 18 holes.
“In April 2012 the Club completed and moved equipment into their new, $3.5M, state of the art, Greens and Grounds Maintenance Facility.”

Does the equipment even cost that much? Maybe the workers need a break area? The whole thing seems a stretch to me.

Where have the lowest bid contractors been storing their equipment the last 20 years (that we have been here)?

Are all golf course and landscape contractors entitled to garage space for their equipment? (Of course not!!)

So why all of a sudden does this one become, what appears to be, a prior approval?

Something does not smell right!

There was a story..........the equipment is being stored outside now. I can't find the article.

Which other course has equipment stored outside.......I have not seen any list.
