REPORT FROM KEN WHEELER Ken reported that they are in full preparation for the Idaho State Amateur which is upcoming early in July. The course is in great shape but we are also coming into the hot • season and it will be a test to keep everything green. The collars are staying good for now , � ' . the work they have done on them for the last couple of seasons is helping plus we have spent a considerable amount on fertilizer. They should be ready for the tournament but will have to adjust some of the daily routines in the weeks prior to the actual play. He advised that they will need to discontinue the shotgun starts for the ladies and the seniors until after the amateur. He will discuss this with the ladies next week before their play and explain it is only a temporary situation. He also reported that we should be ok for water for the year. He has spoken to the irrigation rep and it appears we will have the water we need for the season. REPORT FROM JOHN WATSON John reports that we are still in positive territory for the year for revenues. Lenny is down a little for the year overall but that is due to passes not being sold at Fairview. His green fee revenue is actually up. John states the course continues to look great and they are looking forward to a very busy summer with all of the events coming up. Once we get through the summer we will know better where we are money wise but so far everything looks good. REPORT FROM LENNY STROUP Lenny was unable to attend the meeting as he had the juniors at his course this morning. � OLD BUSINESS The land sale issue was discussed again. An offer had been made on the property which was not accepted. The offer was actually for the sale of all 160 plus acres at 35,000.00 per acre contingent on several items including re-zoning of the property. The city council will be holding a second public hearing on the remaining portion of the property to declare it excess property. This will be done as we had originally requested so that we will be able to entertain offers on the whole property as well as any parcels. This is not to say we have to sell it all. But gives us the option should we get the proper offer. Gearge expressed his frustration with the process and feels that we as a board are powerless to take action when we need to. He is correct in that the city must put their stamp on our decisions but for the most part they do follow our recommendations. Pat Inglis asked why the Realtors marketing the property did not have it on the multiple listing service. Mr. Dakan stated he would look into that and would find out why it was not there. NEW BUSINESS Mr. Nielson addressed the board concerning the incident at Purple Sage on Memorial Day this year. He read a letter he had written to me, the mayor and the board. I explained why we had taken the actions we had and assured him we would again contact the . . P � i � • • individuals involved and see if there was any chance they may have been mistaken on what occurred. Pat gave a preview of the upcoming State Amateur and it appears that the Men's Association and Purple Sage are well on their way to hosting a very successful tournament. He asked if we could give a discount to tournament participants for practice rounds prior to the event. A motion was made to allow Practice rounds by participants at a 15.00$ twilight rate. The motion passed. I handed out a current rate structure and advised Board members to study them as at our next meeting we will be discussing our recommendations for next years fees. The meeting was then adjourned. • •
