Those in attendance: Norna Carr, ChaiLpurson Herman Franks Wayne Hadley Mark Ruff Scott Gardner Jimmy Brown Ione Davis CORRECTION & ACCEPTANCE OF MINUTES The minutes of May 18, 1983 and June 22, 1983 were accepted by all Board members present. YEAR-END FINANCIAL REPORT Scott passed out a copy of the Year-End Financial Report and the Preliminary Golf Fund Balance Sheet to each n1a*rber present. He reviewed with them the figures on the Financial Report and explained that roundswere down at every course due to the weather. Mountain Dell showed an increase in the dollar amount because the carts were figured in for the whole year, where a year ago they were only half a year. Wayne Hadley inquired about how our figures compared to the County golf courses and Scott replied that he'd heard they were having a bad year also. Norma said food concessions were down, but that was due to them being closed. Nibley showed an increase; last year there was alot of construction. Now that the courses are free of nest construction projects, we should see an increase of rounds. Scott then reviewed the Golf Fund Balance Sheet. He predicted $2 million in revenue for this year as long as the weather is favorable. Ione asked about the General & Administrative figure in Capital Expenditures of $73,409 and why it was 34.5% above the budgeted amount. Scott answered that it is what Al Haines, City Council, Mayor, etc. bill to the enterprise fund. Ione is going to look into exactly what it consists of and will get a breakdown. The range balls were taken out of cost of sales. Wayne Hadley made the notion to approve the rounds and the preliminary report. Jimmy Brown seconded the notion. The motion was passed with all the Board members present voting aye. GOLF ADVISORY BOARD MINUTES - July 27, 1983 Page 2 CAPITAL LMPROVE?•1EN1S Mark gave a brief report on each golf course's capital improvements. Scott pointed out that County Flood is working at Rose Park and will be working along the riverbank all summer. Wayne wondered why #1 Tee can't be sodded. Scott said it won't last because of horseback riding along the river. Wayne also mentioned that there was a big "mud hole". Mark said it wasn't black topped all the way since it was too wet and they were having trouble getting water out of the area. Norma asked Mark to check into it and give a report in the next meeting. Wayne said there's a birch tree dying. It looked like it was killed by Round-up. Mark is going to check with Shade Tree, but he thought is was birch bore that is killing it. Jimmy Brown questioned about the plans for the island at Glendale. It is presently being worked on. It will be flattened out and then seeded with a tall grass to keep weeds out and provide greenery. Ione asked if the problem on the driving range at Nibley had been resolved. Mark is expecting 2,000 new range balls in today. They will also be used at Bonneville. The new balls are cheaper than the balls being used at present. Wayne inquired on signs in parking lot at Nibley. There are "exit" and "entrance" signs up, but new ones are also being ordered. The parking lot will be paved very soon. Scott mentioned that he would like to take Jimmy Brown to see Forest Dale to look at the water situation at #7. Scott believes the thing to do is uncover the underground water and have a small creek run through rather than have bog spots. This would also enhance the hole. Ione has received complaints about high weeds at Bonneville along Wasatch Boulevard. It's become a traffic hazard. Mark stated that he would send the Tiger Flail to cut them down as soon as it is finished being repaired. The dirt on the side of the road is for #17 and will be moved soon. They were waiting until the new budget for this project. The dirt by the tennis club was free dirt and it is for #10 green. Ione also requested that Scott talk to #10 Fire Station to find out how many balls were hitting the Station. The firemen are concerned that when the new library is built, the balls will be hitting it. Scott read a list of new projects, most of which are already under way. Bonneville: (1) 17th fairway & green, (2) #10 Tee & green, (3) Landscape area west of practice area, (4) Landscape area around snack bar #2; Glendale: (5) Replace driving range fence on west side, (6) Asphalt cart path from greenkeeper house to clubhouse; Mtn. Dell: (7) Cart paths, (8) Sandtrap #17 fairway, (9) Build new green on #9; Pose Park: (10) Construct drainage system & sarxdtrap along #16 & #17, (11) Extend #6 Tee; Nibley: (12) Build new #5 green, (13) Targe parking lot; Forest Dale: (14) Install drainline at #9 fairway, (15) Install cart paths around clubhouse. Wayne Hadley thought we were going to put harrier chains at Rose Park to stop traffic from coming through. A work order has gone through to have our welders manufacture a gate. It didn't come out of capital improvements, but out of line item budget. OTHER BUSINESS Score Cards. Scott reported that a contract for the design of the new score cards has been sent to the Mayor's office. The new holes are being measured for new yardages and also for new 150 markers to replace the 135 ones. Golf Pros would really like to see bushes on both sides of the fairway. Scott feels that poles would be easier to maintain. Discussion continued. Wayne motioned that the 150 markers be a metal or wooden post and have it put on the scorecards. Jimmy Brown seconded the motion. The notion passed with all Board members present voting aye. Ione questioned about scorecards at GOLF ADVISORY BOARD MINUTES - July 27, 1983 Page 3 Nibley. Scott told her that some were printed just to get by. The same thing would have to be done for Bonneville. Marshall Golf Vehicles. Scott stated that they were traded for materials (reels) from the Parks. They are using them through out the system. NEW AGENDA ITEMS Norma asked for new agenda items. Wayne Hadley suggested we get feed back from the Pros on preference on improvements at their courses. Norma said they should go through the proper channels, which is through Scott and Mark. Scott explained that he and Mark have been going around to each golf course and making list of all maintenance that needs to be done. Norma strongly suggested that something be done to the sandtraps. Scott said they are starting on them next week. Ione asked how many extra employees were hired for summer maintenance for the golf courses. Scott replied that it depended on the course. For an 18-hole course, there were seven to do the maintenance. This is very minimal, especially compared to other golf courses. The next ureeting will be August 17, 1983 at Mountain Dell Golf Course, 3287 Cummings Road. If you have any new items for the agenda, please contact Norma Carr. It is very important that you contact Norma Carr or Teresa Law if you cannot make the meeting. There have been alot of absences.
