are completed. The roof will be completed with capital funds. The entrance and ramp to the
clubhouse will be repaired to bring it up to code and make it easier to maintain in the winter.
Kurt has done the design and the ramp will be completed with the parking lot in the Fall. PA
system is installed and mostly working,a few kinks to work out still.
• Parking Lot: Granite won the bid on the parking lot and will grind and repave the last half of
September. Public Works is going to re-stripe it this June. Eric plans to run conduit for
electricity and water when the parking lot gets repaired.
• Cart Paths: Only$10,000 was allotted from the LOT funding source to be used in 2023. We will
use an additional$18,000 from the CIP funds to pay for 7 miles of crack sealing. $30,000 funds
provided contingent upon LOT funding.

shingles and landscaping. Staining of shingles are in progress. Rita asked for the total cost of
the new sign. Eric will provide numbers at the next meeting.

accidentally cut irrigation communication wires. Also,an irrigation repairman was hired to swap
older controllers with newer ones.

completed as soon as possible,time and staff allowing.
