Eric's report: There are 3 full time staff with two seasonal workers that will work
as needed for snow removal. 12 greens have been covered with Enkamat for the
winter and the greens seem to be in shape for the winter. Exhaust fans in the
clubhouse are being replaced. Discussion about working on the bathrooms took
place and Todd mentioned if the regular contractor could not get things done that
he could help. The sign for the golf course should be up this spring using some of
the money from the marketing budget. Loose dogs and dog excrement were
discussed. The people living on Birch 1-2 and others have made complaints about
dogs on their property. Consideration of not plowing that area or not plowing at
all took place. All in attendance thought a cross country trail could be utilized in
the driving range. Parks and Rec would There is work being done on the
equipment in the shop. Banyans is open Thursday eve through Sunday lunch, and
they have some heaters and fire pits on the deck. An irrigation culvert/head gate
was replaced due to rusting before the snow came.
Allan's report: the tournament schedule has been sent to the IGA with the
approval of the committee after Suzanne called for approval and Todd seconded.
There will not be snowshoe golf due to the present COVID status. Allan reported
that in October the course made $35,000 above the previous year.
Monthly topic: There were no issues brought up about the Golf Professional's
contract except the need for updated score cards which is part of Allan's contract.
Old Business: Bridges construction is on the agenda for spring and Eric is looking
into milling logs locally and his staff would construct bridges to replace culverts on
Aspen and Birch. Annette approved the increase in fees could have a separate fee
that goes directly to the Master Plan budget.
New Business: The capital items for the budget included the clubhouse ramp and
entrance (Eric is trying to get the design worked out so it can be built in spring)
and the new bathroom is slated for 2022. A new roof should be installed next
summer. The bridge work which is part of the Master Plan is also slated for next
year. Eric has not found any company to replace or build the tees yet.
Kris brought up the fact that the outhouses on the course were not kept up well
and were out of sanitizer at times. Eric indicated some of the issue was that it
was difficult to find the sanitizer that went into the current dispensers. He will
look into the problem.
A new paver project is underway to start an area close to Birch tee where the
score cards are kept for memorials or recognition. Darla Williamson is heading
this up.
