I. D & D Land Trade
After Chairman Engen made the presentation reviewing the
appraisal and Don Medley's latest offer, Dan Hormaechea made a
motion to table any action until further analysis can be
completed. Ted Whiteman seconded and the motion carried
unanimously.
II. Tee Rebuild
Hormaechea informed the committee of the foundation's position
on funding, which is they will fund further projects only if
they are able to resell lifetime passes if a holder should die.
After much discussion on the matter Chairman Engen stated that
he feels that the selling of lifetime passes should have been a
one time opportunity and that continuing to sell them may be
more of a hardship on the course rather than a benefit. He
also raised the question of the foundation having control
over funds generated from the sale of a city asset - namely a
lifetime pass. He feels there is another way to manage these
funds, without the foundation. Hormaechea disagreed stating
that if the foundation didn't manage these funds then who would
have control of them. Hormaechea made a motion for lifetime
passes, upon the death of a holder, would be resold by the
foundation to further fund Golf Course improvements. No second.
No vote.
III. Private Beverage Coolers
Dan Hormaechea made a motion to prohibit the use of private
beverage coolers on the Golf Course. This, in theory, would
raise the sale of beverage items for the restaurant. The
restaurant would buy/sell beer and soft drinks and supply cooler
and ice. The beverages are to be sold at prices competitive to
other similar Golf Course facilities. The committee hopes to
initiate this policy for the remainder of this season and
continue for the following seasons. Carl Hoss's staff,
including marshals, would be responsible for enforcing the
policy. Ted Whiteman seconded and the motion carried
unanimously.
IV. Drinking Fountains
Superintendent Charles Denham gave estimates on the cost for
installation of fountain inside Clubhouse.
1. 4 gal. capacity wall mount refrigerated - $557
installed
2. Same fountain with handicap capability - $667
installed.
Funding for this project has yet to be discussed
V. Nursery Green
Charles Denham sent a sample of local (McCall area) sand to a
testing lab. The results came back positive. The sand is
suitable for U.S.G.A. putting green construction. The larger
particles from screening of this sand will also be suitable for
the coarse sand layer in green construction.
VI. Slow Play and Non-Play
Again the committee commented on the slow play and non-playing
public issue. This is an ongoing issue only to be resolved by
more strict enforcement of these rules. Carl Hoss told
committee that he would extend his 9:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m.
marshal hours to later in the evening. This was satisfactory to
the committee.
VII. Committee Meeting With Mayor
Ted Whiteman feels that the committee has no clear direction or
course of action, which was the topic of this meeting with the
Mayor. He feels that the meeting did nothing to improve the
situation. Ted volunteered to author a letter, for the
committee to review and approve, to be sent to the Mayor and
City Council documenting their concerns.
Ted Whiteman moved the meeting be adjourned. Hormaechea
seconded and the meeting adjourned at 9:50 p.m.
Respectfully Submitted,
David Engen
