Mrs. Garza is concerned about the golf balls that are coming across the street and hitting her house. She is also worried about the safety of her children. Cooper said that Garza had indicated she would be at the meeting to plead her case but so far she is a now show. After some discussion it was decided to fence along the street in back of the number 9 green. This probably can't be done until next year because the budget for this year is used to fence along number 2 fairway where we have also been receiving complaints. Cooper reported that he had organized a meeting to move the process along in regard to the proposed new 18 hole course south of Purple Sage. It had been agreed that we need to have a preliminary routing plan done to show how the course will be laid out, and how it works in with the plan submitted by Bob Bushnell using two fairways cutting across his land. This meetinq in the Mayor's office was attended by Mayor Nancolas, Golf Board Chairman Cooper, Purple Sage pro John Watson, Golf Course Superintendent Gordy Crockett and golf course designer Myron Tucker. � V�' �i � `� Lo l.r►' It was noted that our long range goal is to construct and operate a new 18 hole golf course on the property the City of Caldwell has purchased just south of Purple Sage Golf Course. Our short range goal is to have a plan in place so that when the time is deemed right to build the course, we will be ready. Some of the things discussed at this meeting were: 1) Land exchange plan with Bushnell 2) Location of l tee 3) Cart access to course across Purple Sage road 4) Parking - where and how much 5) Current status of E1 Paso road 6) What kind of course do we want it to be? Long?, short?, hard?, Easy?, Lots of sand and water?, The golf designer will need to know these things to plan the course. The mayor said he would take a proposal to the city council to approve funding for golf course designer Myron Tucker to do a preliminary routing plan for the course. REPORT FROM JOHIJ WATSON John asked if the new cart storage was going to be approved. Shannon Ozuna reported that the council approved it at the last meeting. John said he has received his new golf carts and that it is really nice to have them. 2) REPORT FROM LENNY STROUP Lenny said it was unfortunate that the Cinco De Mayo tourney didn't materialize. He said that the event held at River Bend probably affected this. He said the rainy weather has affected play the last 2 weeks. Lenny said he would like to have a sign saying that "no person or group can bring alcoholic beverages onto the golf course premises. Golf course licensed concessionaires will provide and monitor the sale of all alcoholic beverages." Lenny said almost all courses have a sign similar to this. John Watson said that he agreed that this would be a good thing. A discussion on this issue followed. It was moved by Elvin Simpson and seconded by Pete Cowles that we recommend to the City Council that no person or group can brinq personal alcoholic beverages onto the golf course premises and that the golf courses Have a licensed concessionaire to sell and monitor the alcoholic beverages. The motion passed unanimously. It was decided that the wording on the sign will be decided after the council approval. . , � . , w Lenny said he had a big response from junior golfers. He has sold 280 junior passes so far this year. REPORT FROM GORDY CROCKETT Gordy said they will begin work on the fence on the number 2 fairway at Fairview soon. He also reported that they were getting new sand in the traps at Purple Sage. As there was no further business, the meeting was adjourned.
