Michael made a motion to approve the amended minutes from the September meeting. Ken seconded
the motion, and the September minutes were approved. Michael also moved to approve the October
minutes. Ken seconded the motion. The motion passed, and the minutes were approved.
Eric's Report: November was colder than predicted. By the end of the month, we had 11 inches of
snow on the ground. Fortunately, we got the greens covered before the snow hit. At the end of
November, there were three of us working full time and one seasonal. We have been busy dealing
with storing equipment and snow. Work is continuing on the shop expansion. A framing crew has
been hired to put up the walls and the roof. The City Council approved the lease for new equipment.
Parts that we no longer need will be auctioned off. Flooring was replaced in the pro -shop and the
downstairs bathrooms. Both areas will also get new paint. Loose dogs continue to be a problem. Eric
is still working on a camera for the driving range and cedar #1 tee. Eric is also researching security
cameras for the premises. We were able to do some work on the sewer line break that happened in
October. Further repairs will have to wait until spring. The restaurant is now open Thursday thru
2:00 p.m. Sunday.
Allan's Report: The tournament dates for 2019 have been turned in and approved for placement on
the IGA yearly schedule. Lynne Edwards -Swanson has been hired for the position of tournament
director.
Monthly Topic: The topic of discussion was "course rules." Kristin voiced concern about
unsupervised kids on the driving range before and after clinics. The feeling was that it was the
responsibility of a parent/guardian to be present during these events. This problem does not merit
inclusion in the rules, but proper supervision could/should be included as part of any publicity
advertising future clinics. Michael felt that any device that can be ridden should be subject to the
same rules and charges that are applied to golf carts. Everyone was still concerned about dogs being
allowed to accompany golfers. Eric suggested posting signage regarding dogs. Michael suggested
that season pass holders should be required to fill out a form that asks for addresses, phone
numbers, e-mail contacts, etc. The form would also include information about course rules and the
dog policy. Eric and Michael will do some research on this topic. Kristin voiced concerns about
smoking around the clubhouse area. The consensus was that until the city adopts a more explicit
smoking policy, there is not anything that can be done. Michael felt that the last provision in the rule
package should include a penalty for violation of course rules that includes loss of privileges without
a refund.
January's topic will be a "review of the pro's contract."
The next meeting is January 16th, at 4:00 p.m.
Meeting was journed.
