CONTRACT K-1718-96: A CONTRACT BY AND BETWEEN THE NORMAN MUNICIPAL AUTHORITY AND RICHARD L. PARISH FOR GOLF PROFESSIONAL SERVICES FOR WESTWOOD GOLF COURSE FOR A PERIOD OF FIVE YEARS.
Body
BACKGROUND: Westwood Golf Course is an 18-hole public golf facility originally constructed in 1966. On 26 January 2016, the Norman Municipal Authority approved Contract K-1516-102 with Rick L. Parish for Golf Professional services at the Westwood Golf Course for the Parks and Recreation Department. That contract provided Mr. Parish a two year term and expired on 26 January 2018. The contract was administratively extended for an additional 30 days to allow additional review time for the City's bond attorneys, who have advised that the contract is acceptable.
DISCUSSION: This item brings to Council for consideration Contract K-1718-96 with Richard L. Parish to manage and operate the Westwood Golf Course as the Westwood Golf Professional for a term of five years. Contract K-1718-96 is attached. Mr. Parish has provided exceptional services during his previous contract. The proposed contract K-1718-96 is identical to the previous contract with the exception of the term, which has been changed to five years to match that of our Westwood Tennis Professional contract.
Contract K-1718-96 stipulates the golf professional will maintain, manage and operate the facilities (not including maintenance of the grounds), provide lessons and rent and sell golf supplies and equipment. The golf professional will be paid an annual fee of $42,500, paid on a monthly basis, City health benefits and 100% of the revenue from lessons, lockers, club storage and repair, rented pull carts and clubs, and pro shop merchandise (all supplied by him). The contract is subject to annual budget appropriations and can be terminated for no cause after one year or with a 90 day notice for failure to perform duties as required.
