proposals to manage the Allentown Municipal Golf Course

At a budget hearing Wednesday on the city's proposed parks and recreation budget, Lindsay Taylor, director of the department, said the city expects to get $1.4 million in revenue from the golf course in 2016, $126,000 less than the revenue budgeted for 2015.

Expenditures are expected to be slightly over budget for 2015. Overtime is expected to cost $4,000 more than expected.

Parks and recreation officials have pointed the finger at labor costs as a problem for the golf course, which pays seasonal employees near union-level wages under an agreement set to expire in mid-2016. Pay increases and holiday pay are guaranteed to seasonal employees, allowing some to earn up to $19 an hour.

According to the request for proposals, the lessee would have the power to hire its own staff and golf pro. The lessee would not have to hire city employees, but would have to make a good-faith effort to interview and consider hiring current staff
