Disagree. As stated in the City’s response to F-01, the Correct Agreement ratified by the City Council on January 6, 2004, is the same agreement whose provisions have been utilized by both the City and High Tide in the operation and management of River Ridge Golf Club. As stated in the City’s response to item C-20 of the 2003 Grand Jury Report: “The only bank accounts into which revenues from the operation of the golf course were deposited and expenses for operation of the golf course were paid were in Operator’s name alone.” The City disagrees with the characterization of the River Ridge Golf Club revenues collected by High Tide as “City revenues.” As stated in the City’s response to Items C-11 through C-20 of the 2003 Grand Jury Report: “The agreements provided that Operator did not act as the City’s agent, ‘except as City may specify in writing’ (Original Agreement section 57; Second Agreement section 52). By letter dated February 7, 1994, the City Treasurer notified the Ventura County National Bank, where Operator maintained a golf course bank account, that the City conveyed to Operator ‘the right to act as agent for the River Ridge Golf Club which is owned by the City’ and to accept checks in the name of the golf course; and that the title of the account should be the name of Operator ‘as agent for River Ridge Golf Club or River Ridge Golf Course.’ “Money derived from the operation of the golf course, collected by Operator and deposited in Operator’s golf course bank accounts was not at that point money to which the City was entitled. Section 10 of the agreements required the City to pay Operator for Operator’s services. As the Grand Jury noted (e.g., F-46, F-47 and F-70), Operator deducted payments for Operator’s services from money that Operator collected from golf course operations and deposited in Operator’s golf course bank accounts. Annually, Operator paid the City as called for in the agreements, by writing a check to the City on Operator’s golf course bank accounts. The City Treasurer deposited that check in City bank accounts, to which Operator was not a party. “Based on the foregoing background, the City disagrees with statements in C-11, C-12, C-15, C-16, C-17 and C-18 that characterize money in Operator’s golf course bank accounts as ‘City money’ or ‘City funds’ and revenue from golf course operations as ‘City revenue.’” F-30.

Disagree. As stated in the City’s response to F-01, the City Clerk provided the Grand Jury with an incorrect version of the 1993 agreement with High Tide and Green Grass, Inc. (“High Tide”). However, on January 6, 2004, the City Council ratified the version of the agreement that had been utilized by both the City and High Tide in the operation and management of River Ridge Golf Club. The City Council designated such agreement as the official version to be maintained on file with the City Clerk. Thus, the Correct Agreement ratified by the City Council on January 6, 2004, is the same agreement whose provisions have been utilized by both the City and High Tide in the operation and management of River Ridge Golf Club.
