Minutes: it was moved and seconded, passed unanimously to approve the minutes of
the December 11rn, 2002 meeting as written.
Public Requests or Comments: Lem Malone - Commented that the Yacht Club is
interested in sponsoring a golf tournament for the Sabala Foundation to be used to fund
the new ice rink.
Staff Reports: Dan Pillard reported:
· Staff is completing equipment repairs on cutting units and golf course equipment
fleet.
· A plan is being developed for the replacement of equipment.
New Business: Robert Strope reported:
· Golf professional candidates were selected from the short list of candidates received
during the selection process last year. The final candidates were: Kevin Burton,
Allan Morrison, and Ray Center.
· The final candidates will give a presentation to City Council.
· Assumptions on the last contract were $200,000 for food/beverage sales. In FY 02
the City received $146,000 in revenue. The city will look at lowering the contract
amounts based on the FY 02 figures. The city lost money plus paid bonuses. When
the revenue threshold is under $175,000 there is no reward for the city.
· Would like to see the Golf Professional recommend the fee structure to the Golf
Course Advisory Committee. This due to his operation being tied into profits and day
to day control.
· Recommended a local rate instead of a resident rate because of the issue of city
limits and taxes.
· Requested the committee to sponsor a new pro welcome party.
Old Business:
Roger Snodgrass would like to see the development of tools needed to market the
golf course.
Requested that when reviewing the rates to not discount the prime-tee times that are
already filled.
