MINUTES
December 6, 1995
Attending: Ted Whiteman
Phil Gilman
Jeff Goodman
The meeting was called to order by Chairman Whiteman at the Toll Station Pizza
Restaurant because no one could gain access to the Golf Course Clubhouse.
Minutes: Jeff Goodman moved that the minutes of the November 8, 1995 meeting be
approved as written.
New Business:
1) Fee Schedule Review as per Mission Statement
Ted said that this was on the agenda so that committee members could be
reminded to begin thinking about any possible changes to recommend regarding the fees.
It was felt that the committee could begin discussions on this item at the next meeting.
The Committee deferred this item until the next scheduled meeting.
2) Rules and Regulations Review as per Mission Statement
Ted said that this item was also on the agenda for thought for upcoming
meetings. The committee felt that they would like to revisit the fast play policy, the amount
of marshalling hours committed to the Pro Contract, and the possibility of encouraging
weekly staff meetings during the season in an attempt to improve communications and
coordination of events and course layout. The Committee also deferred this item until
the next meeting when the Pro and the rest of the Committee could be present.
Old Business:
1) Property Owner request to relocate Snack Shack
A letter from a property owner directly behind the present location of the
Snack Shack was discussed among the committee. The owner would prefer that the
building be relocated somewhere so that there is less impact to their view and their privacy.
Jeff and Phil discussed the options available and also the possibility of reconfiguring the
concept of the snack shack to provide the same service from food carts as other courses do
now. It was decided to discuss this issue at the next meeting when the Restaurant
Concessionaire could be present to participate with ideas and potential solutions.
2) Superintendent Position - Hiring Status
Ted told the committee that the position was being advertised currently. He
also said that there seemed to be a fairly good response to the City Manager with the
quality of the applicants. It appears that interviewing and hiring will occur February
sometime.
3) Irrigation System Status - Funding Update
Ted again reported that he was hoping that Jim Hendersen could better give
the committee information regarding this item. As it was explained to Ted, it appears that
the best way to go about gaining a Judicial Confirmation for an Ordinary & Necessary
determination is to first get input from a lending agency as to whether they would want to
participate in loaning the money first and if so, then proceed with the Judicial
Conf ruatio;i.
4) Golf Professional Contract - City Council Action
The Committee was told that Ted had attended the City Council Meeting where the
Professional's Contract was approved as per the Committee's Recommendations.
5) A.C. Addition Proposal - Status
A conversation had taken place with Jim Hendersen and Ted said that apparently
this item was not shown as part of the budget for the upcoming fiscal year so it would be
difficult to proceed with a project of this size without it being shown in the budget.
Discussion was held about the possibility of some form of lesser system which would at
least cool the kitchen area and the Pro Shop - Possibly with Swamp Coolers.
6) General Discussion
Phil said he was working with Harry Simpson and would be meeting near the end
of January to try to get the orientation correct for Tee Signage for the 27 hole
configuration.
7) Mtng. Adjourned - Next Mtng. Scheduled for January 10, 1996
