Superintendent's Report: Eric mentioned the course has been a challenge with
the large number of tournaments and participants. He is also losing summer
staff which adds to the challenge to just keep up with the mowing. The paver
project is almost complete with memorial benches to be installed tomorrow. The
contract for rebuilding and improving the tee boxes will need to be rebid
according to the city attorney based on the cost of the entire project, which
requires 3 bids. if Landscapes Unlimited submits a bid that is accepted, the
project could begin this fall. The ramp entrance project will be delayed until next
spring. There are cost concerns. And different options are being considered
based on concrete costs vs. pavers and alternative ways to accommodate a
temporary handicap access. Some tree trimming and cattail trimming was
requested.
