May Security has installed cameras one replaces Aspen#1 and Birch #3 tees, new cameras at
the driving range, Cedar#1 tees,front steps of the clubhouse/parking lot and west
steps/practice putting green. Monitor in the clubhouse will have a split screen, record data and
include a speaker to the driving range. Plus Eric's report to city council was submitted.
Allan's Report: No income over the last month however people are signing up for 2020
tournaments. He is reaching out to Brad Storman for discussions on his contract assignment.
From our last month's meeting we should consider adding a plus-one to the staff and city's free
gold program.The current arrangement is not being abused. This change will require a public
hearing. Item was tabled for discussion in the future.
Monthly Topic: Mission Statement—We want the overall message to state that McCall golf
course is a "must play course"while still being affordable. Topic was tabled until next meeting
allowing all members to review various versions. Kara stressed that "long term thinking"
should be considered while creating a mission statement.
Old Business: Fees for 2020 have not been recommended to council yet. Jug Mountain is
planning to raise theirs by 3% plus round up. Eric is preparing a spreadsheet to compare rates
of area courses. Also we should consider that Meadow Creek and Jug have a 6%tax while
McCall has a 7%tax rate.
Pro Contract: Score cards need to be corrected where most of the misinformation includes the
combo tees. Still need a designated smoking area. The Pro is require to be involved in the
marketing efforts. Allan feels the tournaments give good exposure for our course and Eric
controls the marketing budget. Kids programs and free clinics area.plus and the tournaments
have waiting lists. It is recommended we "step up" our social media exposure and utilize the
calendar on the web site. Eric submitted his annual report prior to the City employee retreat.
Master Plan: Meeting with the past superintendents in Boise has not been scheduled yet. More
discussion on cameras/monitor/speaker was held. Michael of Banyan's has inside cameras to
monitor activity in the bar/restaurant.
