Council Member Scott returned to the Council at 6:51 AB 10-236 Funding for the purchase and installation of trees with irrigation at the lower end of the golf course driving range as a barrier for the homes in Spring Mountain Meadows Eric McCormick, Golf Course Superintendent, gave a brief history of the issue of needing a barrier for the homes at the lower end of the driving range. There was general discussion as to which kind of barrier would be the most effective and the most economical. The Council's greatest concern was the liability. There were signs put up directing golfers that if they can hit the ball further than 350 feet then do not use their driver. Since the signs have went up there have been very few balls to go over the fence. Council Member Delany was concerned with the possibility of someone getting hurt. Council Member Scott liked the idea of the trees; however they would not be as complete as a net would be. Mr. Nichols explained that the goal was to manage the risk, not to eliminate it altogether as there was always risk with houses being built on the golf course. Council Member Witte suggested starting with the trees and then if there continues to be issues put up a net at a later date. There was a general consensus that Mr. McCormick would talk with the home owners and ask them to let him know how many balls were coming into their yards so that the City could keep up on whether a more aggressive approach needs to be taken. Mayor Bailey moved to approve the funding for the purchase and installation of trees with irrigation at the lower end of the golf course driving range as a barrier for the homes in Spring Mountain Meadows. Council Member Delaney seconded the motion. In a roll call vote Mayor Bailey, Council Member Delaney, Council Member Aymon, Council Member Scott, and Council Member Witte, all voted aye and the motion passed.
