Dear Steve,
Jim Atkinson
Ward III
on July 12, 1996 the City
received from your
association a
Lauren Granmo
counter -proposal of the lease
that was presented
by Mr. Thelen.
Ward III
I have reviewed the proposal
and have discussed
the terms with
Pamela B. Kennedv
Council members, Mayor, and Staff. To be frank,
it will not be
Wardle
approved. Therefore, I wish
to present some alternatives for
your consideration.
M. Duane Larson
Ward IV
As I am sure you already know, the City Council must approve the
lease terms by 2/3 vote (6) and it must then be presented to the
voters for a majority approval. It is in our (City and Golf
Association) best interest to make the fairest deal for both
parties. There apparently is some strong perception that the
association has not been paying a "fair share" to the City.
Whether this is true or not depends upon the side of the table
one is sitting on. In an effort to bring all sides of the table
to the center, I would recommend the following major factors be
included within the lease term. These reference changes are
incorporated within the proposed lease form I have enclosed for
your review and consideration:
1. Section 2 - Change term to 20 years from the proposed 25
years. The shorter term will have a better chance for
approval. If the City had not already offered twenty, I
would recommend only a ten year, term because of my general
philosophy that opposes long-term agreements.
2. Section 3 - Rent - Change base rent from $10,000 to $15,000
and from 15% of net increase in assets to 1.5% of annual
gross receipts (derived from golf only - includes green
fees, membership fees, punch tickets, driving range) based
upon the most immediate 5 years rolling averages. (See
definition of gross receipts in prior City proposal.)
Steve Dunfee

Page 2
Section 3, Paragraph 1 - delete entire paragraph.
3. Section 12 - add - Association's financial records will be
subject to an annual audit conducted by the City (internal
staff or contracted auditor). The cost of such audit would be
entirely paid by the City.
4. Section 14 - City shall pay Fire insurance for the facility
but the association shall reimburse City 100% for the annual
cost of such insurance. In the event the City cannot obtain
fire insurance for the facility, the Association will accept
the responsibility to do so.
5. Section 17 - Leave in the reopener for dispute resolution but
delete all references to arbitration.
6. Section 18 - Upon agreement of a new lease, all "old" lease
items will be terminated.
This proposal will allow the City to share in the good and/or bad
years in terms of golf course receipts. The "rolling" five year
average gross receipts clause protects both parties from large
"spikes" in terms of rent payment. Instead, it will dictate
"incremental" changes to the payments to the City and allow the
association to be able to more realistically predict and budget for
the City's payment. The audit will assure protection of the
citizen interest (if and/or when it is deemed necessary). The
elimination of an arbitrator will assure both parties that we will
be making the final decision for "our" golf course - not some third
party that has no interest in the good of the City or golf members.
If these changes are acceptable to the Association, I will be
comfortable in presenting a recommendation to the Council/Mayor
that would request their approval.
If you have any further concerns or questions, please feel free to
contact me.
Respectfully,

Dear Clarence,
Thank you for your lease proposal dated September 10, 1996. After thorough review of this
offer, the Kalispell Golf Association Lease Negotiation Committee has concluded that in the
best interest of the association, the terms of this offer cannot be accepted.
As we have discussed Clarence, severely declining revenues over the past several years,
54 new golf holes built in the Flathead Valley in the last five years, (27 more scheduled to open
next year) and declining tourism in our area presents a very challenging economic scenario for
Buffalo Hill Golf Course. More than ever, we must remain price competitive in order to
compete for local and guest players. At the same time, Buffalo Hill is in dire need of new
greens and tee boxes at an estimated cost of $875,000. Unless these improvements are made,
Buffalo Hill will continue to lose play to newly constructed local golf courses.
The Kalispell Golf Association Board of Directors respectfully request our offer dated 7-10-96
be considered by the City Council at the September 23, 1996 City Council meeting as originally
agreed by Interim City Manager Al Thelen. This proposal, as described in my letter of 7-11-96,
correctly ties the lease payment required by the KGA to the ability to pay based on results of
operation for any given year.
Thank you in advance Clarence for your cooperation. If you need any additional information
please feel free to give me a call at 756-4549.
Sincerely,
Stephen C. Dunfee
Operations Manager
