Public Comment: none
Approval of minutes for Feb. 13th meeting: Ken moved and Michael seconded and all
approved these minutes.
Eric's report: For most of February the staff have been clearing snow and maintaining the
dog stations leaving little time for working on the Maintenance building. They will start
painting the office soon. The staff will finish insulating the office and ceiling of the new
bay this month. The web cam is back functioning to monitor what is going on in the
clubhouse area. Greens should be in good shape so far with the snow helping with
insulation. The walking paths have presented a big problem with dog excrement which
has not been picked up by the owners since the snow is so deep the dogs cannot get out
of the paths. There was some discussion about not plowing due to the extra time and
energy used to manage the dog issues. Kris submitted a copy of the letter to the editor
she will send in for review by the committee. McCall Preservations Society is looking into
the history of the golf course. There will be a tour of the shop expansion after the meeting
today. National Volunteer Day will be celebrated April 3 at 5:30. Eric's staff is getting old
parts separated so that they can go up for auction in the future. The restaurant business
has been busy and the operators seem happy with the amount of customers. Eric and
Calvin attended the Golf Course Superintendents Association of America in San Diego.
Eric attended the golf shows in Seattle and Spokane in Feb. He thought the advertising
would bring in more tourists for golf and the other recreational opportunities as the
shows were well attended. Ginger is willing to come up and give a Rules update to the
public before the proposed Memorial Day opening. Kris sent out an updated copy of the
rules for the attorney and City Council review and Eric, Allen and committee members
reviewed and had no additions.
Allan's Report: He is doing better after medical issues. He reported he has not hired any
staff after executing a job search.
Monthly Topic: Election of Officers: Rita Bolli and Kristin Christensen were elected
president and vice president/secretary respectively for the committee.
Old Business: Develop a plan for the Local Option Tax request: We discussed all weather
bathrooms and new ramp or replacement of stairs in the front of the building to make

the weather. Michael indicated the Lot Requirements must suit a public purpose and that
funding is up 16%.
