posted on the city's YouTube account first sign my name j the minutes from the last two meetings which haven't been uh a p yet so we'll take those in the next meeting um I'll go back and I'll at my notes and I'll go back and review the videos and put together those two meeting notes the dates on I'm sorry dates for the last two August 5th and September 9th next it on the agenda is any old business hearing none any new business Dan's update Dan just I if he sent it I think he I did send it to everybody um he said he didn't have much update um says there 45 new members or returning members from the fall membership special and he's starting to schedule golf shop tournaments for 2025 so that's everything from Dan Bill your up day um green generation will be done tomorrow we have four more greens to do um with the frost and everything else we've kind of taken our time over the last week or so um but the product is coming out nice on the back n's good um we did five greens today we'll do the next four tomorrow and we'll open up all 18 Wednesday morning um the long range forecast looks pretty decent looks Sunny cold at night towards the T of the week um but other than that we're chasing leaves they're they're starting to fall aggressive right now um go ahead is there any plan to do anything with the geese I'm at a lost kind of with the geese cuz they're everywhere now they're on a green so I looked online you can go on Amazon you can buy for $500 you can buy a little post pedestal and it's an electronic thing and in a straight line it'll steale them to two 300 yards you can put Coyotes out you outside of a dog buying a dog again these geese will go anywhere they're on green and they're on 16 green there's no water there they're not even near water anymore there like they're milon huh it's a health it's it's nuts too they're everywhere like an hour ago when I was there they were on 11 Fairway 9 Fairway 10 Fairway but I thought from the state of Massachusetts you can weed out the yeah there was a guy last year help through some nuisance stuff but it's just you got to got to be careful blasting shot things like off so usually it's like towards the tail end of the season we'll bring that same crew back or let them come back I should say and yeah hopefully we'll uh but there be 50 new ones next year yeah they're they're just they're residents they don't fly they're not migratory Birds they're rats and they're not afraid of anything oh other than a dog or you well placed shot no it's definitely any Clos back to where it was in the 90s um when it was I there was a SE that from front night when I was um there was a SE we encourage people anybody with a dog bring the dog out in the afternoon you know cuz that's when they get comfortable for whatever reason they don't really come in in the morning cuz it's just maintenance guys out there and they have an idea but in the afternoon anybody with a dog spread the word I me I mean have you spoken to anybody from like the wild wildlife and fisheries see if they have any kind of recommendation they come and band them every year down in there but I don't know if they relocate or not they ban him and just let them right I mean they probably have bigger fish Pride yeah I'll ask is it like common for golf courses or and like I know some things trending are geese everywhere or is it just like Garden Municipal right now or is it all the golf courses or just a lot the ones I've been on there's always been geese yeah you been down south um I've never been down south I've never worked on stff about some of the golf Co play mle Beach they got Gees on yeah so they're everywhere yeah I'm open to suggestions for sure yeah um and then the only other thing I had was we are pretty much in diet need up 30 years um of a new dump truck SL most importantly plow truck um so we've gotten a quote or two out there and they're all about the same um we were looking at basically the exact same trucks that the highway department has so we're just cop carbon copying what those guys have um and for a on ton dump truck with a plow setup already on it um it's about $80,000 so Jeff and I can look at that budget um you can look at it we'll talk with John recommends if they do payments they do outright um do out but that's he'll recommend anyways I guarantee you right I have another question sure that's regarding the signs uh do you make the signs up uh D Highway Department the highway department um I was just wondering if you could maybe for next year look at the sign that um instructs CS because I was playing on Saturday and somebody was taking the car right across the street and it's fa so you're right you're 100% right I did I went into the pro shop I couldn't like yell at these people cuz they had already gone um there was only one individual in the Pro Shop so I you couldn't you know do anything no it's faded yeah you're 100% right I'll set okay and also for next year the 6 P Wake On the people call people on the man right any other questions for the back with the weather we've been having is greens are running very smooth already back there so it's great that you're assume the warmer weather it's actually growing a little bit this year sun and dry yeah where other years it hasn't been the um what happened after it was punched so that's good to hear excellent there's no correspondence um commission member comments and reports anything pa uh well I don't have anything specific except say thank you very much to everybody in the maintenance shop and the pro shop for a great season all know look forward to another good one next year and um do we know any status on the defib that um Dan was going to go into I can check with Dan I think he was um was he contacting the fire department thought he was going to start with those guys but I mean again it's probably something you just ask purchase them just the same I do the TR was high what the police do just ordering yeah cuz I know um in the past the only thing we needed was basically batteries and we used to buy those I know that yeah and any updates I mean I know it's the end of the year we probably we won't be doing it but um like uniform attire for next year next year next year right yeah table left next year yeah right there'll be some new people coming in some people we'll keep that on the agenda I got a check with I'll check with go when takee shance he's looking for and then I'll get some samples oh Bill one that's it thank you I Know Dan wasn't here to speak to it but the clumb state for ball weather was a little Lippy but held out we had a great timeout this year we had the most teams or was tied the most teams we ever had four flights um Dan tried the shotgun this year on Monday so Ione finish it at the same time I think that worked very well so def go to shoot out at the same time at the end so hopefully we'll continue that and continue to make that tournament bigger and bigger and maybe be able to completely shut down the course and get couple more flights up there that's all I have Mike anything um yeah I just had a a nice turnout for Bruno stalinski the golfers were were up there longtime golfer fixed you up at the golf course um it's good to see a lot of the people from the the golf course up there for his funeral so he'll be he'll be missed and um but good show the support from from the golf course financials um I would have to say that I don't think any of the revenue has been posted since the last time we had the report because the 466 I believe is the same number so I'm going to I'll check with John and see what he's at with the revenue side expenses um I was talking to Bill we I mean usually Christine used to send Bill myself a list of expenses to pay and we would basically approve them be paid we haven't seen anything since Christine is up so um we do have a new person that's work in human resources that will be taken over the the golf course um as secretary and his name is Scott so I'm going to meet with them sometime this week just to go over stuff and bring them up to date they'll probably be at the next meeting to do the M um expenses wise I mean um I believe these are probably pretty much up to date um so total expenses were at 233 234,000 um the only large item that's in here is the new um uh John de uh tractor that you not tract Gator the gator you buy so that's the only really large expenditure that's included in this uh these expenses uh any other questions on financials you won't vote on them until we get the numbers down yeah why we do that so next meeting Paul said he's going to be away I think it may be November 18 that good with everybody not week next week do the 25th I know it's the week of Thanksgiving but should work for me S okay all right to the 25th then by then I have the budget ready I'll send it to you guys early so you can look it over so just need a motion to adjourn make a motion second all in favor say I I anybody thank you [Applause]
