14. REPORT ITEMS
14.1 REPORT - APPROVAL OF AGREEMENT WITH TOUCHSTONE
GOLF LLC., FOR MANAGEMENT OF BENNETT VALLEY GOLF
COURSE ENTERPRISE
City of Santa Rosa
Regular Meeting Minutes
Page 14 of 28
City Council Regular Meeting Minutes - Final June 7, 2022
BACKGROUND: The purpose of this action is to receive approval from
Council to enter into an agreement with Touchstone Golf LLC.,
(Touchstone) to operate and maintain the Bennett Valley Golf Course
(BVGC), including the restaurant facilities. On February 15, 2021, the
BVGC Ad Hoc Committee and the Transportation and Public Works
Department recommended, and Council approved a solicitation for a
single operator to manage the operations and maintenance of BVGC.
Touchstone is recommended as the highest ranked firm from the BVGC
Review Committee for operation and maintenance management of the
BVGC.
Approval of the Resolution will implement the Operating and
Maintenance Agreement with Touchstone to manage the BVGC.
Touchstone, the city, and the current golf course operator will
implement the transition plan from the Agreement with Touchstone and
provide continuity of golf operations and maintenance between the
current golf course operator and Touchstone.
The transition plan includes but is not limited to providing golf tee times,
opening the restaurant, maintaining the golf course facility and
equipment, marketing, and outreach strategies, and all the support
services necessary for operating the BVGC enterprise. Approval of the
Resolution will utilize the remaining Fiscal Year 21-22 funds from the
BVGC Capital Fund for implementation of the transition plan capital
needs.
The city will earn all revenues from the golf course enterprise and those
revenues will fund all expenditures, including a management fee and
incentive to Touchstone. Approval of the Resolution authorizes the
Chief Financial Officer to appropriate all expenditures from the
revenues. Current operating reserves are low, and therefore the
Resolution will authorize funds from the General Fund to create the
sufficient level of reserves.
RECOMMENDATION: It is recommended by the Transportation and
Public Works Department that the Council, by resolution: 1) approve the
Agreement with Touchstone Golf LLC., to manage the Bennett Valley
Golf Course (BVGC) Enterprise; and 2) authorize increased
City of Santa Rosa
Regular Meeting Minutes
Page 15 of 28
City Council Regular Meeting Minutes - Final June 7, 2022
appropriations in the BVGC Operations Fund in the amount of $345,000
to fund the transition plan capital costs from the Agreement, with the
source of the funds from the BVGC Capital Fund; and 3) authorize
increased appropriations in the BVGC Operations Fund in the amount
of $351,225 for the creation of sufficient projected reserves with the
source of the funds from the General Fund; and 4) authorize the Chief
Financial Officer to appropriate all operator fees and operating and
maintenance expenditures from BVGC revenue to Touchstone Golf
LLC., as described in the Agreement; and 5) authorize city assumption
of the responsibility for the golf cart contract with the current golf
operator.

connected to local and state health orders. A permanent program would
outline installation requirements and ensure compliance with all

14.5 REPORT - CITY CODE CHAPTER 18-52 FLOOD DAMAGE
PROTECTION AMENDMENTS
BACKGROUND: The proposed ordinance amends sections of the City
Code as required to maintain compliance with FEMA’s National Flood
Insurance Program (NFIP) minimum regulatory standards set forth in the
Code of Federal Regulations and to enable the City to continue
participating in the NFIP and ensure continued compliance with the
California Department of Water Resources requirements embedded in
California Building Standards Code (CCR Title 24). 44 Code of Federal
Regulations 60.3 requires that local jurisdictions administer minimum
requirements when development is proposed and constructed in
flood-prone areas. The action supports the Council goal of ensuring a
healthy and safe community by protecting development in flood prone
areas.
RECOMMENDATION: It is recommended by the Planning and
Economic Development Department that the Council: 1) introduce an
ordinance amending City Code Chapter 18-52, Flood Damage
Protection, to comply with regulatory requirements that our ordinance
coincide with 44 Code of Federal Regulations 60.3; and 2) adopt a
resolution setting a public hearing on July 12, 2022, for adoption of the
Ordinance.
