Roll Call: Michael Hayes, Allan Morrison, Ken Stearns, Eric McCormick, Rita Bolli,
Kristin Christensen were present and Kara Jeffus was absent.
Public Comment: None
Approval of minutes for July 10, 2019 : minutes were approved unanimously.
Eric's Report: Weather has been good for grass growing and there were several
compliments from tournament players about this. There were 3 full time and 13
seasonal workers in June with 1 community service person and 1 volunteer. Two
more people will be coming the first of the month. The course held up through
the amateur well and there are 5 tournaments in August. Mosquitos were fogged
twice in July and will probably need it one more time. The new equipment is
holding up well and this has helped the mechanic keep up on other equipment.
Revenue is lower than last year but it has been a busy July so we will await the
numbers. Irrigation has been keeping up with demand but we did lose
communication with our weather station which tells the system how long to run
the water. We are moving the station to a better location but Eric has to monitor
it in the evenings.
Allan's report: Jazz on the Green will be Sept 1 from 5-8 so we will change the
tees for Birch 3 during this time. We are down $7600 from last year. There is low
staffing in the pro shop. We are now selling half price season passes and trail
fees. The ProAm was the largest in Idaho with 43 teams. The Club Championship
has 70 players and normally has 100. There are 284 players for the Chapman
tourney the end of August and the 2-man Scramble is Sept 7-8.
Monthly Topic : 5 year plan: Eric has been working on the Master Plan and trying
to get some prices which include the Aspen 6.green and the Como tees to be
rebuilt. Discussion ensued about security as a cart has disappeared; other issues
with the Cedar play and the practice green problems have been discussed. New
entrance signs have been considered and the Lady's Association has agreed to
help with the cost. The Handicap ramp into the restaurant and clubhouse is
considered in the next year.
New Business: Recommendation on new Golf Advisory Member were made due
to vacancy. Todd McKenna has put his name in to be considered for the
committee. He has been on the committee previously, has a season pass, and has
been more active on the course in the past couple of years. He lives full time in
McCall. Dave Petty also voiced interest in the committee and is a licensed CPA
and is also on the Parks and Rec Advisory Committee. He has worked for several
nonprofit associations and enjoys golfing and skiing in McCall. After meeting the
individuals, the vote was in favor of Todd McKenna as the new member.
Next meeting will be Sept 18 at 4 pm with a topic of Review Development of
Physical Facilities, Major Alterations and Improvements to the Golf course. The 5
Year Plan will be sent out for review before the next meeting.
Adjournment: 5:20
