CITY OF MENDOTA HEIGHTS MEMO TO: Honorable Mayor Lockwood FROM: Larry Shaughnessy SUBJECT: Par 3 Golf Course August 14, 1979 On Saturday, August Sth, Bob Lockwood and I met with Mr. Eipschultz and Schway, the owners of the Mendota Par 3 Golf Course, regarding the future of the course. The owners indicated that they felt the property to have Yetail value today of approximately $1,000,000, based on the twenty (20) acres being divided into between forty (40) and forty-five (45) building sites valued at $20,000 or $25,000 each, plus assessments. They further indicated that they would like to propose a lease of the property (for 10 years) to the City, calling for an initial return of 7% (increasing thereafter) on a base of $700,000 and $49,000 annually. They also felt the property could be offered for sale at a somewhat reduced price from that value although no figure was mentioned. The course now has about 30,000 golfers per year with a net profit to the partners of about $30,000.00. The current year should be somewhat better, about $?6,000.00 net. The net figure is after mortgage, interest and assessment payments. The owners gave us their reports for the last three (3) years, which are further analyzed in the attached memo. We left agreeing to report to the Council and Park Commission on their thinking and get back to them in about 30 to 40 days as to whether the City wants to pursue the matter further. We will develop a report on the two (2) proposed alternatives and give them to the Park Commission and Council for further discussion.
