Background: With the current social distancing mandates, the Golf Division was researching best practices of open facilities to accommodate the requirements. Permitting golf carts for single riders only is a safe way for the Golf Division to provide the use of the carts while still maintaining a six foot space for golfers during the state wide restrictions. Single riders significantly reduces the number of golfers able to be served and creates a shortage for the demand. The Golf Division reached out to our current supplier to discuss additional carts for the golf courses to utilize since single riders potentially reduces our cart availability in half.
The proposal presented to the Golf Division was to take the following steps:

§ Typically 190 carts would also be retuned; however, Lake Erie Golf will permit us to keep the number of carts we deem necessary to accommodate the single cart requirement
§ Lake Erie Golf has already provided 20 additional carts for us to utilize as a stop-gap measure
o The golf courses will retain 195 of the current carts with no further payments for 2020 maintaining the current number of golf carts in the fleet.
o Current per cart payment is $101 per month; now contract price is $96 per cart per month
o The total savings for 2020 will amount to $103,706.25 with the per cart price reduction on the new 190 carts and the contractual relief of payments on the 195 carts the Golf Division will be retaining.
