Any Business Board Members or Guests Wish To Bring Before The Board VII. Announcements/Adjournment ************************************************************«*«*********«* L CHAIRMAN'S REPORT Mr. Cooper complimented Gordy Crockett on the fine job that he is doing in the course maintenance, comparing the fine shape our courses were in in comparison to many of the others in the valley. There was also a discussion of closing access roads at Purple Sage to prevent cars from driving orrto the greens. Mr. Cooper presented copies of bills submitted to the City from Dr. Wilbur Waterman for $277 and $344 for glass replacement. It was the Boards understanding that these bill could be submitted to the City, but that the City did not assume responsibility for the damage. It was to be the responsibility of the individual golfer. The mayor asked whether there was anything that could be done to help reduce the damage. Several suggestions were made - extending the fencing, moving the tee closer to Tenth Street, shorten the hole by as much as 30 yards, or move the green closer to Tenth Street. The Board agreed to continue looking into the options. Mr. Cooper read a letter given to Mrs. Navis by a resident of Logan Street, Mr. Hopper. The letter presented the resident's complaint as to the City's maintenance of the Fairview Course. They requested the City repair the sagging upper cable and damaged lower netting on the fence, the removal of twenty dead trees along Logan Street, east of Tenth, that the City inform golfers of their responsibility with regard to property damage (windows and vehicles) and personal injury to the residents. A discussion followed. It was indicated that all of the trees along Logan Street were alive and had green foliage on them. They do have several dead limbs and need to be trimmed. That will be done as soon as the City's bucket truck is repaired. The top cable will also be repaired when the truck is working. Hopefully, with the screen repaired, and the trees trimmed so that they can fill in, the number of errant balls can be reduced. It was also indicated that there I S a notice posted to golfers regarding their responsibility for property damage. L • PAGE 2 At this point, Mrs. Cheri Hart entered the room and presented Mr. Cooper with several estimates for window replacement at her S. Kimball home ranging from $1000 to $5000. Mr. Cooper stated that his understanding was that the City assumes no responsibility for personal property damage. She indicated that she had spoken to the Mayor and he "looked it up", that because the course was publicly owned rather than private, the City was, in fact, liable for the damages. Mrs. Hart indicated that the mayor had indicated also that if the Board did not take action and pay the bills, she could file a claim in caurt and that the Mayor would assist her in the suit. Mr. Cooper thanked Mrs. Hart and told her that the matter would be taken up with the Mayor directly. II. REPQRT FROM JOHN WATSON John reported there were no major problems at Purple Sage, except that play had been slow due to inclement weather. Mr. Watson indicate that the Caldwell Firefighters had approached him about having their summer fund raising tournament at Purple Sage this year. After discussion, a motion was made and seconded that the Caldwelf Firefighters be granted permission for their tournament at Purple Sage on Saturday, September 16. The motion was unanimously passed. III. REPORT FROM LENNY STROUP Mr. Stroup indicated that the Caldwell Firefighter's Tournament had previously been held at Fairview and that this represented a loss of revenue for the course. He also mentioned that the Father/Son Tournament and the Three-Man Scramble at Broadmore were not going to be held this year. Mr. Stroup asked whether or not he could be given authoriz�tion to take a July tournament date and pick up one or the other of those events for the Fairview Course. Mr. Stroup asked for a July 22 - 23 date for this new event. It was confirmed that their was not a conflict with Purple Sage on those dates. It was moved by Bill Moad and seconded by Shirley Akagi that the new tournament and the July dates be approved. The Board voted unanimously to pass the motion. fV. REPORT FROM GORDY CROCKETT The replacement parts for the bathrooms at Fairview have not yet arrived, but they will be repaired as soon as possible. Fairview Course has been fertilized, spraying for dandetions at Purple Sage has been delayed because of rain. Rain has also delayed work on the lady's tees at Purple Sage. Mr. Crockett indicated that they were going to try to put a fence up along #2 (Purple Sage) due to the fact that, once again, there was a car driven up on the #2 green. V. REPORT FROM DENNIS CROOKS Mr. Crooks, representing Planning and Zoning, stated that as part of the City . ' i ! , I PAG E 3 transportation planning committee was considering putting a sidewalk on Logan Street from 10th Avenue to Sixteenth Avenue. The school superintendent, Darrell Deide was asked by the committee to evaluate pedestrian needs for school children in the district. In a questionnaire sent to all the school principals, the Logan Street section was the number one concern. Planning and Zoning is looking into placing a sidewalk or an asphalt strip on the North (golf course) side of Logan. If this were to be done, there would certainly have to be a substantial fence, at least six feet tafl, place along that stretch of sidewalk. Mr. Crooks indicated that he was not looking for any commitment or dECision for the Baard at this time, but simply wanted to present it for their consideration. He thanked the Board for their time and consideration VI. NEW BUSINESS Shirley Akagi asked whether or not it would be possible to extend the patio area at Fairview approximately 8 feet. Lenny Stroup asked whether or not the $1500 Community Improvement funds were available this year. A motion was made by Mrs. Akagi and seconded by Mrs. Navis that the Board look into the funds availability and the possibility of extending the patio area. The motion passed unanimously. Bill Moad asked for an update on the sprinkler project time line. Mr. Crockett indicated that the Mayor was putting together the bid package. That package would then be presented for bids. There would be a waiting period following bid selection, and hopefully construction could begin in August 1995. Meeting adjourned at 9:05 am
