New Business:

2) Humanitarian Sports Hall of Fame Golf Tournament request for reduction of green
fees.
The Committee held discussion of the request for reduced green fees for this Friday and Saturday
tournament. Ted Whiteman moved that the Humanitarian Sports Hall of Fame pay the
same fees as last year and that no discount be given. Rick VanNoy seconded the motion.
The motion carried unanimously.
Old Business:
1) Irrigation System Update
Background information was supplied to Committee Members by Ted Whiteman. Ted Whitman
advised that everything looks good for this fall.
2) Snack Shack relocation or Food/Beverage Cart Feasibility
The Committee discussed the costs/benefits of purchasing a small motorized unit, $4,200 used vs.
$8,000 new. This was not budgeted for this fiscal year. The decision was reached to use the
existing snack shack at its present location for this year and try a mobile cart on the new 9 holes
to see how this would work. Jeff Goodman will check on the use of an ATV from one of the
local dealers; Rick VanNoy will check on the cost of constructing a trailer to pull behind the
ATV. Mary Clemmer will provide a schematic outline of the trailer configuration to meet her
needs for consideration. Chairman Whiteman would like resolution of this issue by next
month.
3) Clubhouse A.C. Installation Status
Ted Whiteman advised that the feedback from City Council is that air conditioning is not in the
budget for this year. This should be addressed in the budget for next year. It was suggested that
the City Council members be invited to the Clubhouse for lunch during some really hot days this
season.

manner Ted Whiteman advised that the Golf Committee will provide any needed support
to Mike Combs.

the budget can be used.
