Attendees: Eric McCormick, Paul Stover, Ken Stearns, Allan Morrison, Rita Bolli-Neal, Michael Hayes,
Kara Jeffus
Rita voiced some concerns about the September minutes; therefore, the minutes were held for
revision and not approved at this time.
Eric's Report: Work was finished on the driving range, and the trees were planted up the left-hand
side. Eric is still researching the prospect of placing a camera to monitor the Cedar #1 tee. Work on
aeration and reseeding of all fairways will begin next week. We will also be top -dressing the greens.
Footings were dug and poured for the maintenance shop expansion. Keeping the equipment running
and in workable condition continues to be a struggle. Leasing, rather than buying and repairing,
might be the answer, and Eric continues to research this option. We hosted the regional golf
superintendents meeting in September; it went well. By the end of the month, we got caught up with
our irrigation issues. The restaurant continues to be busy. Eric had typed up a handout, and he gave
each member of the committee a copy regarding Bill Thompson's complaints/concerns. Eric took us
through his handout and the justificationfor his responses. Eric also gave committee members a
handout titled "Revenues With Comparison To Budget For The 12 Months Ending September 30,
2018". He explained that most everything on that handout was subject to change and revision.
Allan's Report: The one -person scramble had 30-some players. Green fees for September were up
$13,000. Revenue for the 2018 year was up $74,000 from 2017.
Monthly Topic: "Review the fee schedule for the 2019 golf year." After much discussion and debate,
Ken made a motion to increase all season pass fees by 3% but not to change any daily fees. Michael
seconded this motion, and it passed. This recommendation will be presented to the City Council.
Old Business: Eric gave members a handout dealing with "McCall Golf Course, Unlawful Acts". The
topic of dogs and how to deal with them will be discussed next meeting. We still need information
from the City and its attorney before formulating a policy on how to deal with dogs and their owners.
New Business: Allan passed out a copy of his proposed Tournament Schedule for 2019. He explained
his rationale for moving the one-man scramble to June. He also gave his justification for keeping the
2-1,ady Best Ball a Sunday -Monday event. Michael made a motion to approve the tournament
schedule as it was presented. Ken seconded the motion. The schedule was approved.
The next meeting is Dec.12 at 4:00 p.m.
Meeting was adjourned.
