contractor will be notified. Nitrate testing continues. Regular maintenance continues. Thanks
to the Ladies 9-Holers for lunch.

need to be made. Play totals are the highest since the golf course expansion. Kudos to Colin
Walsh and his crew for the course conditions. Calendar year totals are anticipated to be 70,000
to 80,000 rounds,depending conditions in the fall. Bill Meehan expressed his congratulations to
all the employees for the current conditions at the golf course. Jay Packett thanked Mark
O'Brien for his work in getting the golf course through previous difficult years.

their good work.

Discussion followed.
• Regarding water on the golf course,the Health Department and Town Hall,with input from Jay
Packett and the Water Department,have decided water jugs will no longer be provided on the
course. There will be two water filling stations,one near the Port 10 snack shack,the other off
9 Starboard green behind Starboard 1 green. Hopefully approval from the Selectboard will be
this week. Discussion followed regarding the ban on the use of plastic water bottles. Dave
Whitney reported the two water stations have been ordered and will be installed as soon as they
are received.

• Regarding the cancellation policy: Jay Packett reviewed prior policies and his thoughts
regarding cancellations. Charging credit cards for cancelled time creates major issues.
Discussion followed regarding the pros and cons of using credit cards for advanced reservations.
Anne O'Connell suggested if there is a policy regarding credit cards it should be updated or
removed if it's not in use.
Solar Project Updates:
• In answer to Anne O'Connell's question, Jay Packet explained that the reason the road was
blocked off in the solar parking lot was so the workers could get to Canopy 6. This work should
be finished in several days. The plantings are going in at the driving range. The patchwork on
the asphalt should be finished some time this month and then the parking lot can be striped. Dave
Valcourt asked when revenues would start; Jay Packett explained it's up to Eversource.
Strategic Planning Updates:
• Anne O'Connell will send out an email tomorrow or Thursday with her thoughts about how to
tackle the NGF study as it intertwines with the irrigation study and welcomes feedback on how to
structure the discussion on the 27th, starting with the irrigation study.

GOLF COMMISSION
Minutes of July 27,2021
Commissioners Present: Anne O'Connell(Chair),Andrea Johnson(Vice-Chair),John Kissida,Wyn
Morton, Jeff Odell, and David Valcourt
Others Present: Jay Packett,Director of Operations,Colin Walsh, Golf Course Superintendent,Rob
Harris(CCMGA),Donna Potts(9-Hole Women's Assn), Sarah Robinson(18-Hole Women's Association)
and Bill Meehan(Finance Committee Liaison).
THIS MEETING WAS HELD REMOTELY WITH AUDIO AND VIDEO RECORDED. The meeting
may be viewed at: http://video.brewster-ma.gov/CablecastPublicSite/show/5557?channel=l
Anne O'Connell called the meeting to order at 4:00 pm after reading remote meeting guidelines and
procedures.
Anne O'Connell announced that all appointments to boards and committees are on hiatus until after the
Selectboard's annual retreat which is scheduled for August 19'. Two candidates for the golf commission
were interviewed by Dave Whitney, Selectboard Liaison;Anne O'Connell has requested the Selectboard
appoint the candidate at their next meeting on August 23`d. Jay Packett explained the reason for the
appointments being delayed is the Selectboard is trying to set up a more uniform appointment process
across all different town committees and boards.
Refund Request:
• There is a refund request. The individual requesting the refund has been advised that she has missed
both deadlines for a refund.Anne O'Connell read the policy regarding refunds. A motion was made
by Dave Valcourt, seconded by Andrea Johnson,to approve this refund request. Motion passed
unanimously.
Golf Course Safety:
• Wyn Morton presented a recap of this issue: he is concerned about after-hours use of the golf course,
i.e.vandalism, loss of revenue, and the projection of a poor image. Other facilities in town are gated
when not in use. Jay Packett had a conversation with Chief Eldredge on this subject. There are signs
at the emergency entrance next to Port 10 tee and at the walking path towards Starboard 10 tee stating
the golf course is closed when the pro shop is closed. There is an outdated sign at the main entrance
1
stating this is town property and is closed between 6 p.m. and 6 a.m. Jay Packett has spoken with
Griffin Reiner,the superintendent of the DPW;they looked at the signs and today got an art approval
for new signs and new wording. Chief Eldredge said a permit from the recreation department is
required for anyone to use town property after hours,a policy which is not followed. The golf course
is unable to control what happens after hours. The staff is not asked to patrol the golf course after
hours. Over the years the practice has been that non-members are not allowed on the golf course after
hours,but members are allowed to play even though they are not able to check in. This can create an
issue in identifying members. The restaurant is open after the golf course is closed. Having gates at
the entrances creates an issue as to who is responsible to see the gates are closed when the restaurant
closes. The golf course is a"use at your own risk facility." Jay Packett will review liabilities at the
next risk-management meeting.Vandalism has not been an issue over the last few years. Discussion
followed.
• Limiting play to four times per week:
• Jay Packett has spoken to Chelsea about this matter. Play history is done on a member basis. The
point system is in place to combat this situation, and he doesn't think anyone is playing more than
four times weekly in prime time. There is not enough staff time to monitor this. Discussion
followed. Jay Packett will again address this issue in a future email.
NGF Report:
• Regarding the "final" version of the NGF report, there will be a joint meeting of the Selectboard,the
Finance Committee and the Golf Commission on Monday, September 13. Regarding the NGF
report relating to the capital planning process, Jay Packett reported this was discussed at today's
department head meeting. Peter Lombardi, Donna Kalanick and Mimi Bernardo advised any capital
requests or adjustments need to be at Town Hall by the end of August. The next two meetings of the
Golf Commission will be on August 10' and 24' Items being brough forward should be ready for
submission to Town on August 26'. An email with more specifics should be sent out from Town Hall
within the next day or two. Discussion followed. Colin Walsh stated the $252,000 in the NFG report
represents replacing the oldest equipment and will bring in some necessary equipment that should be
but never has been on board. Anne O'Connell asked how much money should be put forward for
approval to be spent in FY22. Discussion followed. Anne O'Connell brought up the subject of the solo
rider not being in good shape. Jay Packett has received three quotes regarding a new solo rider and
does not believe it should be a capital item since it needs to be available at the golf course as soon as
possible. Colin Walsh spoke about the brush pile. Jeff Odell spoke about projected retained earnings.
Jay Packett will update the retained earnings projections. Discussion followed regarding possible future
projects and plans to be accomplished. Anne O'Connell referred to the irrigation system as discussed
in the NGF report. Discussion followed. John Kissida asked if the weather station replacement should
be in the budget. Colin Walsh reported many golf courses do not have weather stations and use weather
data from the local airports. There is a weather station adjacent to the maintenance building.
Questions and comments from Associations and liaisons:
• Bill Meehan will contact Jay Packett and Colin Walsh off-line to talk about sink holes. Ann
O'Connell suggested John Kissida be included. Anne O'Connell said it is likely capital items will
again be discussed at the August 101 meeting and encouraged everyone to look at the NGF report and
try to match it up with items in the various swim lanes. Dave Valcourt has made up a chart for this
purpose and was asked to share it with the commissioners. Jay Packett was asked to review the
parking lot solar project. Jeff Odell reported the paving repair is scheduled for tomorrow through
Friday;wire management should be finished this week in the main lot;workers will be leaving until
Eversource supplies power and will be back in September depending Eversource's schedule. The
proposed cutting of a 30-foot wide swath through the trees in the upper part of the parking lot has
2
been rejected in favor of one additional pole at the lower entrance. There will be temporary fencing
around the pad until the work is completed in September. There should be nothing more until after
the golf season. Clean-up will be done.
Future agenda items and meetings(8/10,8/24):
• Capital items
A motion was made by Andrea Johnson, seconded by John Kissida,to adjourn the meeting. Motion

available at the next meeting. Captains reputation among visitors is good. There are no adverse
adjustments due to the change in tee times. Colin Walsh updated the issues regarding the pump
which was inspected and showed a manufacturing defect. There is no problem with the well.The
pump should be a warranty job;there maybe a charge for testing the well. Focusing on FY22
there are some changes. Discussion followed regarding the capital requests. Jay Packettis
confident with the FY 22 capital requests;there is an issue with equipment replacement. He
agrees with the consultant reports and discussed various problems that need to be addressed. He
is confident that the requests should be agreeable to the Finance Committee,the Selectboard and
Town Administration. Colin Walsh reported the pieces of equipment on the list will replace old,
unsafe equipment and get the fleet back to a minimum level of safe and efficient operation. The
tree work can go into capital to start out and will be a line item after that. He discussed various
other items that need to be considered. Jay Packett and Colin Walsh will meet this week to go

discussed items missing in the NFG capital budget and his strategies for critical items in the next
five years, i.e. irrigation repair and replacement,cart paths,tee improvements, sink hole repairs,
tree work,water diversion,maintenance building and possible costs. He questioned the NFG
breaking the improvement budget into three separate phases and had budgetary suggestions for
these projects. He also discussed design and construction,wells,parking lot repaving and driving
range improvements and questioned the amount of work to be done in-house or by outside
contractors. Jay Packett discussed the budget for sink hole repair and the amounts needed to
cover repairs in the cart barn and the parking lot. Jeff Odell had wording suggestions for the
specificity on repairing sink holes in the cart barn and parking lot in order to enable utilizing any
residuals on the course. Discussion followed regarding the timing of items to be addressed in the
future including bunker work. Anne O'Connell suggested when the NGF presents to the
Selectboard,the Finance Committee,the Town Administration and the Golf Commission at the

equipment be included in the capital budget. The restaurant has recently been named number one
in Brewster.
