1. Pre -Construction Conference: A meeting has been
scheduled for a pre -construction conference with L.T.
General and all sub contractors. At this time, problems
that may or may not become realities will be discussed.
2. Elimination of New Private Cart Storage: The Committee
discussed several concerns associated with the
transition from the present site to the new clubhouse.
The Committee agreed there may be a possibility of
storing several private carts with contractors carts.
Another possibility discussed would be to use the
existing storage until a new cart storage could be built
at the new site.
3. Medley Subdivision: It was agreed that the Committee
would consider a specific proposal for the land swap.
The Committee suggested that Mr. Medley have both
properties appraised and staked. The Committee will
then visually inspect the properties. In order to agree
to a possible trade, Mr. Medley would have to take the
sloping hillside.
4. Driving Range: Mr. Engen reported that Craig Collins
had the suggestion of a floating driving range to be
installed as opposed to an irrigated turf field.
Following a short discussion weighing the pros and cons,
the Committee agreed that the Golf Foundation be made
aware of the idea. The Committee took no action for a
recommendation at this time.
5. Putting Green Construction: Mr. Jackson has discussed
with Craig Collins of Collins Fuel the possibility of
constructing a putting green adjacent to the new
clubhouse. Until soil samples from several sources are
accessed both chemically and physically, an exact dollar
figure cannot be obtained. Mr. Jackson believes that
1
$16,000.00 would be adequate. Soil samples will be sent
to Texas A and M University.
Without further business, the meeting adjourned at 9:15 p.m.
The next meeting is scheduled for May 8, 1990 at City Hall at
7:00 p.m.
