MEMORANDUM
DATE: July 9, 1992
TO: Edina Park Board
FROM: Bob Kojetin, Director
RE: Chronological Process of the Total Golf Course Project
In the winter of 1987-1988 a staff committee was put together to study the
improvements to Braemar Park. These improvements included the upgrading of
Braemar arena and pavilion, construction of a new nine hole golf course, the
purchase of the Edina Golf Dome, the construction of a new driving
range/executive club house building and the construction of a new parking lot at
Braemar Club House.
This report was presented to the Edina Park Board on April 26, 1988. The report
was accepted and a recommendation was made to proceed with the plan to the City
Council. The City Council reviewed the plan at its regular council meeting on
May 2, 1988 and a motion was made to approve the arena's construction and to
consider a new nine hole golf course at the August 1, 1988 council meeting. At
• the August 1, 1988 meeting the City Council approved the proposal of the
construction of the new nine hole golf course.
At the regular City Council meeting of September 19, 1988, there was a
recommendation to sell $2,470,000 for recreational bonds for improvements at the
arena and golf course. At the October 3, 1988 meeting the bonds were awarded.
In the winter of 1988-1989 an architect was obtained for preliminary drawings
and specifications for the new nine hole golf course. These drawings were
presented to the Nine Mile Watershed District, Department of Natural Resources
and the Corps of Engineers to secure a permit for construction of the new nine
hole golf course. This permit was submitted for approval in the fall of 1989.
On June 5, 1992 a permit was granted to the City of Edina to proceed with the
construction of the new nine hole golf course at Braemar.
If the City Council decides to proceed with the construction of the new nine
hole golf course the following time table could be followed:
At the regular City Council meeting of July 6th, a recommendation would be made
for review of the project at the regular Park Board meeting of July 14th and, if
approved, it would be recommended to the City Council for final approval at the
July 20th City Council meeting.
Working drawings would be drawn and advertised on August 19th and bids would be
opened on Sept. 15th. At the regular City Council meeting of September 21, 1992
bids would be awarded with a possible grand opening of the new nine hole golf
course in the summer of 1994.
