I. Minutes from previous meeting approved as written.
II. No. 10 Tee Rebuild: C. Denham gave the committee a cost
estimate of $3,000 to build the tee and $300 to reroute
cartpaths around the tee. Whiteman was reluctant to vote to
approve before seeing a plan on paper. Hormaechea moved to
proceed with construction after the McCall Amateur tournament,
contingent on approval of drawing by the Superintendent by the
committee. McCarty seconded and the motion carried unanimously.
III. Drinking Fountains: These estimates were to be presented
at the golf staff meeting.
IV. Spring Mountain Ranch: Schmidt discussed what happened
since the last advisory meeting. There has been no formal
process. Informally, they talked about changes in contract
discussed by committee when contract was reviewed. SMR agreed
that instead of two days for construction changes to give the
city three days to review and approve the changes. The city
will also have a representative on the site to assure the
project proceeds as planned. SMR and the city will meet again
in two to three weeks. At this time SMR will provide another
draft of the plan for the advisory committee to review.
V. There was some discussion about the driving range. Schmidt
informed the committee that there are some problems with the 404
wetlands permit, stating that the Fish and Game Department has
some objections to some filled wetlands at the D.R. location.
Fish and Game are encouraging prosecution to the Corps of
Engineers. Further discussion included the fact that
directional signs are needed to direct traffic from the #5 green
to the #6 tee. McCarty included that there is some danger in
driving past #16 green in route from the #5 green to the #6 tee,
and suggested moving the cartpath through the back of the #6 tee
on the other side of existing trees.
VI. Trail Fee Holders: It was brought to the attention of the
committee by the Chair that trail fee holders are not following
the flow of traffic coming to and from the clubhouse. $chmidt
mentioned that a letter has not been sent but will when a list
of trail fee customers is received. Carl Hoss will provide him
with addresses of all trail fee holders so he can send out
letters. Chairman Engen also discussed the problem of
non-playing public using the golf course for evening walks.
This poses a problem for golfers who want to play at this time.
Schmidt suggested we have an officer come out a few evenings and
write some "token" citations to set an example.
VII. D & D Land Trade: Schmidt says he received an appraisal
and will present it to the council on July 11.
VIII. Committee Mission: Final discussion included whether or
not to proceed with the presentation before City Council to
decide if the advisory committee actually has a purpose, due to
the fact that recent committee decisions have been overridden by
council members. Schmidt suggested that the advisory committee
meet with the Mayor to discuss this matter. The committee
agreed and Engen will contact the Mayor.
The meeting adjourned at 9:45 P.M.
Respectfully submitted,
Dave Engen
Chairman
