Received by: NL
RULE ANALYSISPurpose of the rule or reason for the change:To better serve the needs of the recreating public and increase state revenue, two new golf passes would be added, i.e., one to Green River and Pali
e State Park golf courses, an annual Youth Golf Pass, answering inquiries by the local community for a pass that could be used by youth 16 years and under in summer when school is out; and an annual Soldier Hollow Golf Club Pass that would add a business class pass to Wasatch Mountain State Park's fee schedule for golf.
Summary of the rule or change:The annual Youth Golf Pass at Green River and Pali
e State Park golf courses would add a new generation of customers to the sport of golf, thus increasing state revenue. The Soldier Hollow Golf Club Pass would allow resort or businesses to purchase passes for their members, opening a new market for golf, while utilizing excess capacity at Soldier Hollow Golf Course at Wasatch Mountain State Park.
State statutory or constitutional authorization for this rule:Subsection 63-11-17(8)
Anticipated cost or savings to:the state budget:After a season passes, the Division will have a much more accurate idea of how much change there will be, but it appears the changes will be $15,000 for Pali
e and Green River and $10,000 for Soldier Hollow.
local governments:Maybe from the sale of golf balls, etc. but otherwise, there will be no anticipated cost or savings to local government.
other persons:The cost to other persons would be $150 for the annual Youth Golf Pass to golfers 16 years of age or younger. Those wishing to purchase a Soldier Hollow Golf Club Pass would pay $1,000 per year (including cart rental) with unlimited play. Both passes would be nontransferable.
Compliance costs for affected persons:The purchaser would pay $150 for the annual Youth Golf Pass. The purchaser would pay $1,000 for the annual Soldier Hollow Golf Club Pass.
Comments by the department head on the fiscal impact the rule may have on businesses:As this is the first season for these rule changes, there appears to be no impact on local businesses. Once a season is completed, the Division will have a better idea regarding impact on businesses. Michael Styler, Executive Director

Received by: NL
RULE ANALYSISPurpose of the rule or reason for the change:Electrical costs have increased significantly and the local campgrounds are charging a much higher fee for overnight with electrical hookups. The installation of electrical hookups for the camping sites at Dead Horse Point State Park has significantly increased visitation. With that visitation comes increased demand and the increase in electrical charges needs to be addressed in this rule. By increasing the overnight camping fee at Dead Horse Point State Park, the park will be able to recover the increase in electrical costs and bring camping fees in line with the current market without affecting demand. At Wasatch/Soldier Hollow Golf courses the increases for nine holes to the general public and an increase in the motorized cart for nine holes (single rider) will bring the costs more in line with the expenses to the State.
Summary of the rule or change:By increasing the overnight camping fee at Dead Horse Point State Park from $15 to $20, the park will be able to recover the increase in electrical costs and bring camping fees in line with the current market without affecting demand. At Wasatch/Soldier Hollow Golf courses, an increase of $1 from $12.50 to $13.50 for nine holes to the general public and a $1 increase in the motorized cart for nine holes (single rider) from $6 to $7 will bring the costs more in line with the expenses to the state.
State statutory or constitutional authorization for this rule:Subsection 63-11-17(8)(a)
Anticipated cost or savings to:the state budget:An increase in fees will result in an estimated $150,000 in golf revenues, and approximately $13,000 in camping revenue.
local governments:These changes are effective to state golf courses and state park camping facilities, and there are no aggregate anticipated costs or savings to local government.
other persons:The public utilizing Dead Horse Point State Park camping facilities will pay $5 more for their camping recreation there. There are no hard numbers to report, but there will be figures after a season with the new charges. Those who golf at Wasatch Mountain State Park will pay $1 more for nine holes and $1 more for a motorized cart per nine holes.
Compliance costs for affected persons:Those recreators who wish to utilize the camping electrical hookup sites at Dead Horse Point State Park will pay more for their fees to do so, from $15 with no electrical hookups, to the new and improved electrical hookups at $20. Those utilizing the golfing facilities at Wasatch Mountain/Soldier Hollow will pay more for their golfing by $1 ($12.50 to $13.50), and a motorized cart for nine holes will also be increased by $1 ($6 to $7).
Comments by the department head on the fiscal impact the rule may have on businesses:This rule amendment should have no effect on businesses. Michael Styler, Executive Director
