John reported on revenues at Purple Sage he feels that the Monday
and Thursday specials are really making a difference and that at
the present time we seem to be holding. He also reported that
the contact person on. the defibrilators was unable to help us.
The next step is for us to put donation jars in both clubhouses
to start trying to raise monies to purchase one for each course.
Lenny reported that Fairview revenues are up from last year and
it is looking good. He had a request from the Ihli family who
recently purchased two 3unior Passes for rairview that they are
unable to use. They would like to apply the fees that they paid
to credit for green fees. Dan Rowell made a motion to allow
Lenny to do this, seconded by Pat and approved.
L.J. distributed copies of the proposed budget and there was a
lengthy discussion about what we can do to increase revenu.es.
The Mon.&Thurs. specials seem to be helping but we need more.
Season passes are just holding and we need to find a way to
generate more pass sales. A couple of suggestions were: A Wirzter
Pass possibly from Nov. 1 to Feb. 15. The other suggestion was an
early sale of season passes for 2009 in �ctober which would allow
the buyer a bonus number of m.onths for the first year. We also
need to help find ways to cut back on costs of maintenance etc.
We need to work on the fee structure. We will be holding an open
forum to discuss these matters some time before the first Monday
in Aug�ast, when the City Coun.cil sets the budget. The date for
this meeting is yet to be decided, it will most likely be held at
the Caldwell Palice Station. We will hald a brief Board meeting
prior to this forum to discuss the agenda and present our own
suggestions.
