•
Golf course turf reduction on the two 18-hole courses, and replacement of their irrigation systems;
•
Plans for the Town to cease operating the nine-hole Pusch Ridge Golf Course near the Hilton Resort (the Town will explore opportunities to transition course operations to the Hilton Resort or develop a plan, in partnership with resort owner HSL and the adjacent HOA for alternate uses of the course);
•
Moving food and beverage operations to the downstairs café area, which will be reconfigured to an open kitchen/bar and grill with a limited menu.
•
Reconfiguring the upstairs restaurant space to expand the facility’s fitness areas and program offerings, which are approaching capacity.
All told, the Town projects that these improvements and adjustments would result in annual savings or revenue increases of $400,000 within two years following full implementation of these capital improvements. Details and a timeframe for plan implementation will be established and approved during the FY 18/19 budget process, which is currently underway. Learn more about the preliminary plan at www.orovalleyaz.gov.
