Re: Monthly Department Report – March 2019
1. Weather:
Recently received some good snow melting weather. Some sunshine and rain were a plus
instead of snow which allowed the crew to focus on other work besides blowing snow.
2. Staff:
In March, there were three of full time and 2 seasonal employees for the first half of the month.
One seasonal staff was laid off for a month but will be back to work the summer season. The
other seasonal employee will be laid off after the first week in April.
3. Greens:
Greens are all snow covered at an average depth of 44 inches at the end of the month. The
ground has thawed out under the snow and is taking the melt nicely. Time will tell on how well
the snow mold prevention chemical is working.
4. Shop Expansion:
Staff had a good month working on the expansion project. The crew finished insulating the
ceilings, installed sheetrock in the office as well as taped, textured and painted it, and installed
flooring and all the trim so it is almost ready for occupation. Staff is working with InfoSystems
to finish internet and phone hookups. In addition, staff installed sheet rock to the ceiling in the
service bay and grinding room and taped and painted both rooms. The heater has been installed
and now waiting on the electrician to install the electrical work.
5. Dog Walking Cart Paths:
Paths are were getting down to the pavement at the end of the month. Plenty of dog poop
everywhere. However, a lot of people are picking it up as there has been 1720# deposited in the
receptacles by the end of March.

6. Equipment Maintenance:
The Equipment Manager set up and auctioned off all the old used and excess parts for equipment
that was traded in on the new lease. He has been busy painting and prepping the new service bay
and grinding room. Staff began disassembling the equipment lift to move into the new service
bay. The hope is to get everything moved into the new grinding room and service bay then go
through the equipment and grind what reels we have left to grind in the new rooms. I think that
we will make it with the amount of snow we still have on the ground.
7. Restaurant:
The restaurant slowed a little this month which is normal. They have been hiring additional staff
and are thinking about being open Wednesday evenings to help train new staff.
8. Cleared Driving Range Slab:
Billy Romero blew the snow off the cement slab and pavers behind the driving range tee, so the
golf team can put the mats out and hit balls into the snow on the driving range instead of hitting
balls inside into nets. Hopefully the snow will melt enough that they can get out there in another
week.
9. Tent area:
Billy Romero also blew out the tent area to allow for drying of the soil so Banyans can have the
pavers installed. There are enough donated pavers to cover the entire area. Banyans intends to
use the area for weddings and other social events instead of closing the clubhouse or driving
range. Staff is looking at putting a permanent roof structure up over the area at some future date.
