Item 5C. Glen Lake Golf Proposed 2026 Budget
Superintendent's Recommendation:
MOTION TO APPROVE THE 2026 OPERATING BUDGET FOR GLEN LAKE GOLF AND PRACTICE CENTER AND AUTHORIZE THE SUPERINTENDENT TO SUBMIT THE PROPOSED BUDGET TO THE HENNEPIN COUNTY BOARD OF COMMISSIONERS FOR ADOPTION.
Prepared By: Howard Koolick, Jeff May, Mark Hill, Brad Chock and Mark Boonstra.
Background:
Three Rivers operates the Glen Lake Golf and Practice Center under a cooperative agreement with Hennepin County, which is the owner of the facility. The agreement outlines responsibilities of the Park District and the County and creates the Glen Lake Golf Joint Operations Committee, which is composed of staff from the Park District and the County. This committee oversees the operations, maintenance and fiscal affairs of the facility. The agreement also includes a variety of financial issues including how any profits would be allocated between the County and the Park District. The cooperative agreement calls for the Park District to develop an annual operating budget for the facility, including recommended fees. The annual operating budget is proposed by Park District staff, reviewed by the Glen Lake Golf Joint Operations Committee, recommended to the Park District Board of Commissioners for consideration and, once approved, is then submitted to the Hennepin County Board for adoption.
The Operations Committee reviewed the budget at the August 13, 2025, Operations Committee Meeting. The attached budget packet provides highlights and details of the Committee’s budget recommendations. If approved and authorized by the Park District Board, the proposed budget is then forwarded to the Hennepin County Board for consideration. The proposed 2026 budget recommends revenues of $1,221,876 and expenditures of $1,221,876 with a contingency of $159,917 (net revenues).
