Meeting was called to order by Zach. Roll was taken. Minutes were read. Dan
moved to accept the minutes as read. Lorraine seconded the motion. Motion
carried.
The following agenda was discussed:
NEW BUSINESS
Mayor Nancolas addressed the board concerning the Idaho Press Tribune article
that came out on February 8th 2012. Mayor Nancolas made it clear no property has
been sold, only a question had been asked. Discussion and questions followed. If
anyone has further questions Mayor Nancolas made it clear his door was open.
KEN REPORT:
1. Trees that have been removed were rotting. The pine trees are dying due to age.
We have started thinning them out to try and save the rest. 25 trees have been
cut so far and we could lose more. We are trying to save the healthy ones. Won't
move tees until they start growing. Temperature needs to be warmer for the tees
to start growing. Haven't been able to cut cups yet they are still frozen.
LENNY STROUP REPORT:
1. Revenue seems to be a little better. A few season passes, trail fees and cart
storage have been purchased.
2. Lenny presented 4 suggestions for possible changing the course if needed in the
future. All are available at Fairview Golf Course for anyone who is interested.
JOHN WATSON REPORT:
1. Season pass sales are getting off to a slower start. We need to take in
consideration the new golf courses and everyone competing for golfers looking
for the best deal.
2. Idaho Statesman card was discussed. With the card golfers received a 2 for 1
deal. This is based on the posted rate. Dan moved the posted rate be $13.00 &
$15.00 instead of a special rate. Larry seconded the motion. Motion carried.
Middleton High School has requested to hold a cross country meet in
September at 4:00 on a weekday. It was noted that we charged a fee of
$200.00 in the past.
ADVERTISING & MARKETING
David Clark addressed the board on marketing the courses. David offered to
build and donate a Facebook page for each golf course. These pages will
showcase our courses. Dan made a motion to accept this offer. Sheryl seconded
the motion. Motion carried. David will work with Lenny & John and get this up
and going.
