STAFF REPORTS
Denham reported that Spring Mountain Ranch has resolved their
contractor disputes and construction has resumed. Golf West was
terminated and O'Neil will work directly with contractors.
Hoss presented a printout of monies presented to City Hall during
the month September 1993 as compared to September 1992. The
comparison shows only a small shortfall. This is good
considering 1993 was a rain shortened season and 1992 was a
record season.
NEW BUSINESS
1) 1994 Marketing Plans
Hoss presented his Promotional budget for the 1994 season.
Normally there is $2500.00 budgeted for this, for 1994 only
$1200.00 is proposed. Committee concerns were that the course
would not get the exposure need to attrat play. Hoss assured
them only the smaller advertising spots were cut and the course
would not suffer any shortfall due to advertising.
F. Brown moved to recommend th city council to approve the
Proposed Promotional Budget for 1994 (attached) as presented.
Goodman second. Motion carried unanimous.
Je
2) 1994 Fee Structure
B. Schmidt attended the meeting to give committee some ideas on
how to approach the fee structure. Discussion centered on the

discussed and will be discussed further at future meetings.

F. Brown moved to recommend to city council that the tournament
held Oct. 3, 1993 with an $11.00 per player fee be approved and
memorialized in these minutes. J. Goodman second. Motion
carried.

F. Brown moved to recommend these names for appointment.
OTHER BUSINESS

possibility of developing a practice chipping green area on the
city property beside #10 tee and behind the Driving Range tee
(see attached). There are concerns that this is a wetland area.

Dear Bud,
It has come to the attention of the McCall Golf Course Advisory
Committee that the replat of Timberlost VI Subdivision has been
approved.
It is also the understanding of the Committee that certain requirements of
the Developer as they pertain to the Golf Course have not been
completed.
Before the October meeting of the Golf Committee, complaints were
received from the Mens' Golf Association and other concerned golfers
concerning the road that was cut into the right-of-way from Timberlost VI
to the road entrance to the clubhouse.
The minutes of the October 15, 1992 Golf Course Advisory Committee
meeting reflect the strong feelings regarding this action. The minutes of this meeting state:
Recently, a road was cut into the entry way to the clubhouse
through City property. The committee feels there should be
punishment for such an act. Ted Whiteman moved to
recommend to the City Council that the City property at the
northwest corner of the Timberlost VI Subdivision that was
disturbed be restored equal to or better that original
condition. This will include grading and landscape of entire
berm from access point all the way to corner of the Golf
course. Any Punitive damages shall be pursued by the City
Attorney. Frank Brown seconded and the motion carried.
The June 6, 1993 meeting of the McCall Planning and Zoning Commission
specifically requires the placement of a cul-de-sac at Divot Lane with a
land berm. This replacement of the City property that was removed has
been repeatedly requested by the Golf Advisory Committee. (December,
1992, and June, 1993) This city property was removed without
permission. This was to have been completed. Was the City Council
aware of the requirements, or were these requirements dropped? Has any
action been taken for the replacement of this property removed.
(See Picture No. 1)
The same P & Z meeting, January 5, 1993, required the completion of a
more permanent land berm at the end of Eagle Drive. This is along the
south border of the Club House parking lot. This looks very unfinished.
Has this been accepted by P & Z and the City as complete? The finished
berm is not in keeping with the Golf facility and certainly not with the
intent of P & Z when they required such a berm. (See Picture No. 2)
Also, this Committee has received complaints, including those from
members of the City Council, on the road running from the Club House
road into the Timberlost VI project. This road is dangerous and dirty.
This road runs across City property. It is being use by real estate sales
agents and workers. Why has this not been stopped? (See Picture No. 3)
The McCall Golf Course Advisory Committee requests that the above items
be directly addressed by the City Council. The concern is that these items
will never be finished by the developer and that they will eventually be
finished at the expense of the City.
Because the final plat of the subdivision has been approved, we request
and recommend the following:
1. That the final plat not be signed until the above land berms are
finished, and the dirt road blocked, and/or
2. That these items be included in the Subdivision Agreement for
completion, and
3. That these items be included in the Bonding in the amount of
$30,000.00 to insure the completion at no expense to the City.
Appropriate copies of Minutes of Meetings and Maps and Pictures are
enclosed for reference.
This letter has been unanimously approved for mailing by the Golf Course
Advisory Committee at its regular meeting on October 6, 1993. The
preference of the Golf Committee is the Plat not be signed and allowed to
be recorded until these items are completed.
We respectfully request an answer in writing.
Yours very truly,
Ted Whiteman, Chairman
