Chairman Larson called the meeting to order.
Minutes from the last meeting on March 24, 1992 were
corrected to read that the next scheduled meeting was to be
April 14, 1992 instead of April 16,1992.
Approved as corrected.
A "Staffing a Committee" document was reviewed by the
Committee. It is the Committee's feeling that they are not
informed on City Council action on committee recommendations.
This information should come to them in the form of a staff
report at the beginning of each meeting. The Committee also
feels they need to revise their mission statement in the near
future. Last revision was 12-30-86. After lengthy
discussion on committee concerns about City Council not
taking Committee recommendations into consideration when
acting on certain topics, the Mayor recommended that a
committee member attend future City Council meetings. This
would assure that their recommendations are being dealt with.
OLD BUSINESS:
CART STORAGE
Carl Hoss believes the existing 20 space open air storage at
old clubhouse site will be adequate for season. The
Committee discussed the possible use of the enclosed building
at the same site for additional storage. With approval from
City Council and the parks department this is a possibility.
Ted Whiteman moved to recommend to the City Council that Carl
utilize the existing 20 open air spaces until demand calls
for, and City Council approves, the use of the enclosed
storage. This storage shed will provide an additional 11
spaces with locking doors. The recommended
charge
1o0.0000.00
per year for indoor storage, as opposed to
for
outdoor. Frank Brown second. Motion carried unanimous.
Dan Hormeachea accepted the task of contacting contractors
for approximate cost estimates to build a unit that would
house 40 private carts on the designated lot at the entrance
to the Clubhouse. The Committee will consider different
techniques once an approximate cost estimate has been
established. These will be at the next meeting.
RESTAURANT CONCESSION
Louie Howard was chosen to be the concession contractor. Mr.
Howard touched on a few issues mentioned at earlier staff
meetings. He also brought to the attention of the Committee
the need for a "snack shack" on the golf course between holes
#5, #6, and #16, which is a high traffic area. The Committee
agreed to review a plan from Louie at the next meeting. The
restaurant was recently inspected and these items did not
meet code: household freezer in industrial application,
dishwasher, and reach in coolers.
PRO CONTRACT
On January 14, 1992 the Committee recommended to the City
Council to increase the pro contract from $32,500 to $38,500.
The Council passed an increase of $2000.00 to $34,500 with an
addendum for the contract to be negotiated again in 1 year.
Carl's fee will be the only topic of negotiation. At that
time.
DUMP TRUCK
Superintendent asked the Committee to declare dump truck
surplus equipment. The truck is passed its useful life and
is need of expensive repairs. DeEtte McCarty moved to
recommend to the City Council that the dump truck be declared
surplus equipment. Ted Whiteman second. The vote was
unanimous motion carried.
NEW BUSINESS
1992 MARKETING PLAN
Carl Hoss verbally informed the Committee that he is looking
into several new advertising strategies to reach a broader
market. One is tee signs at several Treasure and Magic
Valley golf tournaments, another is a new handout called the
Heartland Insider which is distributed locally at restaurants
and hotels. Carl will provide a formal print out of actual
expenditures at the next meeting. The Committee unanimously
recommended approvals of his budget of $750.00 for the
Heartland advertiser and $637.00 for signs at other golf
courses.
B.B.Q PIT AT CLUBHOUSE
A B.B.Q pit for outdoor cooking is being planned at the new
clubhouse site. The area being considered is a grassy area
on the west side near the steps leading to the restaurant at
the west end of building. A formal plan is being developed by
Rick Van Noy for consideration by the Committee. The
Committee unanimously recommends to the City Council that the
area planned for the barbecue be used for this purpose. A
drawing for the site is attached.
*******
OTHER BUSINESS
Dan Hormeachea informed the Committee that the foundation is
interested in participation in funding for several capital
improvement projects. The superintendent described the
projects the foundation could participate in as follows:
Nursery green construction, cart path paving, #10 tee, and
possibly the tree replacement program for this season. Frank
Brown moved to recommend to the City Council that the City
accept mutual funding from the foundation for projects
listed. The foundation is to coordinate with the
superintendent on which projects will be done and when. Ted
Whiteman second. The motion carried unanimous.
With no further business the meeting adjourned at 10:05.
