Public Comment: none
Minutes for the December 12, 2018 meeting were approved. Kristin moved and
Ken seconded and the motion carried unanimously.
Eric's Report: Eric reported that the maintenance building project was one month
behind, that the golf course would not participate with a float in the Winter Carnival
parade, and that he had 3 full time people and one seasonal staff working now.
Eric is attending 4 golf shows during the winter for advertising. Enkamat covers are
now on 10 of the greens. Framers were hired to put up the walls and roof of the
shop expansion as staff did not have enough time. Dogs are running free on the
walking paths and owners are not picking up after the dogs on a regular basis.
There was an incident of a dog bite and 7 dogs from the same owner were loose.
The City increased all fees 3% for the coming year. The restaurant will be open with
winter days and hours of Thursday through Sunday. All the bathrooms have been
newly painted. The Pro shop has new flooring and paint. The Sewer line broke on
Birch 7 and it was repaired but it destroyed part of the cart path which was only
partially repaired and will be finished in the spring.
Allan's Report: The tournaments are now on the website and there have been
some responses/entries. There was a discussion about possiby IGA doing an
update on the new rules going into effect this year. Allan is in the process of looking
for an Assistant Pro.
Monthly topic: Review Golf Professional's contract. We did not have time to
completely review this and everyone was asked to look at it and bring ,up issues
either by email or next meeting. The schedule of the monthly topic was brought
up and out of order so Rita and Eric will look into this and decide the order. Michael
asked that we consider having LOT discussed early in the year as things on the
committee start in the spring/early summer and we should have some decisions
made by then.
Old Business: Update on Service Dogs and Rules: Eric gaveeveryone his summary
sheet about service dogs on the courses on several municipal courses in the valley.
Discussion about not allowing dogs on the course ensued and it was decided that
only Service Animals as defined by Title II and III of the ADA would be allowed. We
cannot ask what the individual's disability is but that person has to take
responsibility for any harm that the dog may cause to others on the course. A
doctor's note does not turn an animal into a service animal for emotional support.
The dog,is specifically trained for the person's disability and must be by their side
at all times. We discussed the fine for playing with a dog that is not trained: the
first offense would be to leave the course without a refund and the second offense
would be losing their pass for the year without a refund.
Rita asked about the update on the cameras and Eric explained that Michael Byrne
and he were working on the project. There was an issue of someone trying to steal
an ATV and there are issues with the driving range and Cedar 9 as this area cannot
be seen from the clubhouse:
Equipment: most of the leased equipment has come in. The mechanic has been
sorting parts that will no longer be needed and then auction them off.
New business: Boise State Fund Raiser: Allan proposed a June 8 at 0900 shot gun
tournament and the June 30th 1 person' scramble for, the additional tournaments
that he is allowed to have in his contract. A motion carried for these tournaments
to take place this year.
Eric passed out the 2018 Annual report from Eric to the City Council. This was
partially reviewed and Eric asked everyone to read it over and respond to him if
there is a question or discrepancy.
Next meeting: Feb 13 at 4 pm. Topic will be ideas for Local Option Taxes
Respectfully submitted: Kristin Christensen
