The commission discussed the anticipated delivery and installation of a new pump system set for next week. This pump is vital for restoring the golf course’s irrigation capabilities. The golf course staff plans to rehabilitate an old slice seeder, which will be used to reseed the fairways once the irrigation system is operational. The process involves cleaning out years of debris from the pipes, which have been under minimal pressure due to previous collapses. The staff expressed optimism that there would be no significant breaks in the system, as it has remained under some pressure from city water.

In financial matters, the commission reviewed the budget, noting receipts of $1,196,000, which accounts for 92% of the annual budget with one month remaining. Expenses totaled $885,000, with significant costs attributed to equipment purchases and the feasibility study. The course is expected to break even by the end of the fiscal year, covering expenses like Dan’s salary increase and consultant fees.

Membership at the golf course has reached over 700, and there has been a noticeable uptick in tournament participation, which the commission hopes will continue into June. The meeting briefly touched on policy enforcement, specifically regarding golf cart usage, with an emphasis on encouraging shared carts unless justified otherwise.

The commission also discussed employee job descriptions, acknowledging the need to update old documents that appear to have been created on typewriters. There was some confusion regarding the availability of updated job descriptions, but it was decided to table this discussion until the next meeting.
