Reconstructing and leveling existing tee boxes, building forward tees. Plan to
start next week and scheduled to be completed by July 7th. Railroad ties will be
removed and be replaced with a decorative landscaping blocks. Architects have
marked areas of disturbance in preparation for releveling, relocating, and building
tee boxes on Birch. Monies have already been budgeted by the city.
Ramp will go out to bid again this winter. Also looking into bidding out the culvert
installations before Thanksgiving. The budget is less formal due to a budget
under $100,000.
Still have more employees than previous years so getting projects completed.
Planning to have all fungicide before November.
Allan's Report: Allan was not able to attend. Rates recommended to City council
and will go to vote at City Council October meeting.
Financial report not available however, this past September was $20,000 ahead of
last year in September; however still short of $8,000 from last year. Eric will send
both his and Allan's financial reports.
Monthly Topic: ADA Transition Plan as per Don Kostelec, city consultant: pushed
to next month.
Rita Bolli Neal, Board Chair
Old Business: Update on New Golf Professional start date is October 24, he will be here for a
week and work remotely then return after Thanksgiving.
Review Project List: Tee construction update covered in Eric's report.
New Business: Public use cart fees currently going to general fund. Question
from Tony via public interest whether monies can go to a fund for maintenance of
cart paths. Eric plans to go out for bid on repaving many cart paths and the club
house tarmac. This depends on city monies left from buy-out of Allan's
merchandise etc.
Buy-out process begins November 1st. Need to come to agreement within 30
days, after which it could go to mediation. Potential issues with carts and range
ball have been recognized. New carts cannot be obtained until 2024. Also, leased
carts are not available due to delay in manufacturing of new carts. Thus, we are
likely to be stuck with old carts; Eric plans to have mechanic work on them this
winter.
Advisory members reach out to public about ideas and questions the public may
have going into the new structure.
Centennial Golf Course celebration will be in 2028, possible monies available, Eric will
communicate with the city grant writer.
