Comments on: City Privatization Sabotaged? https://calwatchdog.com/2011/06/26/city-privatization-sabotaged/ Wed, 25 Mar 2015 05:27:34 +0000 hourly 1 By: J https://calwatchdog.com/2011/06/26/city-privatization-sabotaged/#comment-5459 Sat, 22 Oct 2011 03:56:18 +0000 http://www.calwatchdog.com/?p=19281#comment-5459 Foremost I am not a inmate. I work at one of the Capital City Golf Courses. I am a college graduate I am working a job that got me through college. A single father of 3. There are many fine individuals that commit a lot of effort in providing a positive golf experience for our customers.

Second… These are Morton Golf employees filing suit of sexual harrassment, NOT city employees. So this report is malice and in error.

Third… Budget numbers taken from the Golf division display 1 financial quarter that only represents 3 months of last year that display revenue earned during the rainy season and unfortunate greens conditions of a city golf course.

There is more to this than the quick scheme of privatization…
1. Look into the former (now retired) City Golf Division managers track record since accepting the position. It shows a steady decline. Poor management.

2. Morton Golf has not been audited by the city since 2005. Has the company been following their contract obligations? If things are so dire then why agree with a company that is a part of it?

3. Lastly… We work with what we have. All golf courses are low in staff, aging equipment, ($5000 per year budget limit on equipment maintenance)freeze on raises/promotions, and lack of support from the City. Through this we “Inmates” work to give the best golf experience that we can with what tools we have.
