HomeMy Public PortalAboutMcCall Men.Aug20.14McCall Men’s Golf Association comments, questions and concerns hand out for the GCAC meeting of August 20, 2014: The complaint against Allan was for non-compliance of his contract with the City of McCall and his misuse of the golf course during the 2014 Men’s Amateur. The complaint stemmed from the use of all 27 holes on Saturday July 26, 2014 without approval of the City Manager.  The tournament is allowed to use 27 holes for only two days of the tournament.  The City Manager claims it is his responsibility, but I do not agree. Why were the scores for the Senior Match Play Tournament entered in the handicap system by the golf course staff but not the scores for the Men’s Amateur Invitational Tournament? The Amateur is also a match play tournament.  Age Discrimination?  How many invitations were give to Lakeview Investment Services for their $5000 sponsor payment?  Is there an accounting for these payments in the past?  Are invitations to the Men’s Amateur being sold or given to people who make donations?  Were any concessions given to Lakeview for the new range balls? These are speculations that have arisen since the Men’s Amateur became an “invitational”.  I would like to see GCAC recommend to the City Council that the Men’s Amateur be filled in the same manner as the 2-Man Best Ball, the Senior Match Play, the 2-Lady Best Ball, the McCall Chapman, and the 2-Man Scramble are filled.  This could eliminate temptation and any speculation of impropriety. Why is there no Senior Pro-Am Tournament scheduled as called for in Allan’s contract with the City of McCall?  Age discrimination? The restaurant kitchen was closed the evening of August 6, 2014.  Three groups of prospective diners were turned away in a 10 minute period around 6:00 PM.  Not a good way to encourage business.  I was told the restaurant was closed because they expected to be busy for the next week and the staff needed some time off.  One of the turned away customers commented (Can’t Allan see what he is doing to this place?). Is this in compliance with the contract? NO. Earlier this month Ray Schmitz was sold a half price season pass with the approval of the City Manager because of Ray’s knee surgery.  The questions that were presented to me were: Could the surgery have been scheduled at a time that did not conflict with the golf season or was he given the discount because he is Eric’s neighbor? Did anyone require back-up documentation from a doctor or was being Eric’s neighbor enough? If there are no guidelines for situations concerning discounted pass or refunds, perhaps the GCAC could address this issue and make a recommendation to the City Council. Is this the same Ray Schmitz that tried to get a Collage Season Pass because he was enrolled in adult education courses?
