Carl Hoss

The Chair called the meeting to order at 7:10 p.m.
1. Cart Storage Presentation: The Chair reported that Mr.
Haynes had called and would not attend the meeting. The
item was moved to the next agenda.
2. Minutes: The May 22 meeting minutes were reviewed.
Mr. Hormaechea asked that his name be added to the list of
those attending the meeting. Without objection, the chair
ordered the minutes filed as amended.
3. Timberlost Subdivision Cart Access: Mr. Hormaechea
reported for the subcommittee. He outlined three
alternatives, one being "no action", a second described as
restricting all golf cart access to the course via the
clubhouse, and the third a combination of routing using
streets and cart paths. The alternatives were reviewed
considering the alleged property rights of the Timberlost
residents to access the golf course, the liabilities of
putting carts onto the public streets, merits of the
several routing alternatives, and acknowledgment that much
of the problem would be resolved when cart storage is
relocated to the clubhouse area. After lengthy
discussion, Collins moved to recommend to the City Council
that city staff be directed to write to all persons paying
trail fees to outline the rules of ingress and egress as
follows:
No specific route across the golf course to the
clubhouse will be specified however, any cart
traveling to or from the clubhouse will: 1. Move
only with the flow of traffic; 2. Yield to carts
carrying golfers in all circumstances and will not
disturb persons playing golf in any manner;
3. Be notified that they are on the course at their
own risk and are regarded as "non-playing public"
before reaching the clubhouse and after leaving the
clubhouse; 4. That the route to the clubhouse and
from the clubhouse to the point of access shall be
direct and not circuitous;
5. THAT MULTIPLE VIOLATIONS OF THE ABOVE SHALL BE
CAUSE FOR REFUND OF TRAIL FEES AND REVOCATION OF THE
PRIVILEGE OF OPERATING A PRIVATE CART UPON THE
COURSE.
McCarty seconded and the motion carried unanimously.
4. Budget Amendment: Staff reviewed the budget
amendments made to date and the committee recommended
certain changes. Further changes were recommended and the
committee will again review the final amended budget at the
next meeting.
5. Staff Reports: Staff reported on completion of the
repair of the clubhouse, on the concession operation to
date, on progress on the appraisal on the D & D land
trade, and requested action on the driving range.
After a report on the Foundation's actions to bring the
range up to acceptable standards, Whiteman moved to
recommend that the city authorize the Mayor and/or staff to
accept the deed for the driving range when the Golf
Superintendent and Pro have concurred that the facility is
acceptable and have notified the City Administrator in
writing that the repairs have been accomplished. Collins
seconded and the motion carried unanimously.
6. Contractor report: Carl Hoss reported on a change of
the routing of play commencing tomorrow. This stimulated
discussion since this action contradicts the committee's
prior recommendation to leave the sequence as is until
after the Best Ball tournament. After lengthy discussion,
Whiteman moved that due to misunderstandings of the
Committee and City Councilmen, the committee would request
a special meeting with the city council to clarify the
committee's mission and responsibilities. McCarty seconded
and the motion carried unanimously.
7. Spring Mountain Ranch: The Committee discussed
clarification of the irrigation plan process which was not
adequately addressed. They questioned a two day response
time for the city. They questioned who was responsible for
determining responsibility for errors of construction or
design or maintenance in the event performance is not
achieved, they also observed that the involvement of the
homeowners association in the approval of changes to the
course once it becomes a city course should be time limited
but preferably should, at some point in time, be
eliminated.
8. Special meeting , June 18: This meeting was cancelled
by order of the chair since the course alignment was
otherwise considered.
9. Letter from Mountain Lakes Realty: A letter requesting
advertising space in the golf clubhouse for golf course
property (attached) was considered. The committee observed
that most advertising now done on the course was a
consideration given for a contribution of some material
asset useful in operation of the course or clubhouse, e.g.
Tee signs, benches, kitchen equipment contributions,
etc. Based upon this discussion Hormaechea moved to deny
the request. Collins seconded and the motion carried. The
committee asked staff to draft a policy based upon the
discussion for advertising on the course.
10. NEXT MEETING: The next meeting will be held at the
regular time of Tuesday, July 9, at 7 p.m. at the City
Hall.
Respectfully Submitted,

Bud Schmidt,
Now that the Golf Course Club House is in full operation and the city
is interested in making a profit selling liquor, food, etc. I have
a proposal that will add income to the city's.cash flo.
We do a lot of business on the Golf Course and would like to offer
to pay the City $100 per month for the use of the two end walls in
the entry of the club house. The space I am proposing to use is in
between the doors, or the glassed off portion as you enter from the
parking lot.
We would use two nice quality framed glass displays to display our
Golf Course properties only. They would be mounted on the walls like
pictures and should give patrons of the club house something to look
at and of course be beneficial for us.
We could also use a Oak display like they do at the Airport inside,
but feel the wall frames will be more out of the way and not interfere-
with any of your existing operations.
If you feel you cannot do this because of the other Realtors, I would
suggest you could contact them and see if they will be willing to
pay you and or put it out to bid if necessary.
We would of course like to have the displays up and in use by July.1,
1991 and the rent would be for July, August, September, October or a
total of $400 for the season.
I await your answer and that of the City Council if necessary.
Sincerely,
