Commission members discussed the ongoing problem of geese populating the course, affecting several greens and fairways. Various solutions were considered, including electronic deterrents and encouraging dog owners to bring their pets to help manage the goose population. A suggestion to consult with wildlife officials was also made, though it was acknowledged that the problem may not rank highly on their list of priorities.

In terms of equipment needs, there was a discussion about replacing the golf course’s aging dump truck, which doubles as a plow during the winter. The commission is seeking advice on whether to finance the purchase or pay outright, with quotes indicating a cost of approximately $80,000. This investment aims to align with the highway department’s current fleet specifications.

Financially, the commission is awaiting updated revenue figures, as the latest numbers appear unchanged since the last report. A new secretary in human resources, Scott, is expected to streamline financial processes and be present at future meetings. The commission is also looking forward to planning next year’s uniform attire and potentially expanding tournaments, given the success of recent events.
