Okay, it's 4:30. Let's call the golf commission meeting for order. Let the record show that the the meeting is being video and audio taped and be posted to the YouTube account for the city. First item on the agenda is the minutes from last meeting. Motion
approved to the last meeting. >> Yes, I favor say I. >> Uh just an update on the feasibility study was still waiting for claim, I guess. man stay.
Um, did Dan did Dan say anything for our update? >> No, not okay. Your update. Um, the only thing I really wanted to go over was the pump house situation. So, there's some good, bad, and obviously full of ugly. Um,
we replaced the pipe. Contractors replaced the pipe going out into Crystal Lake. That's that's a good thing. They ripped out the old corrugated steel pipe that was way down um under earth. Ripped that out. Put new plastic pipe in there. Put a new big cage screen out the
outside. When they excavated underneath the pump house building, which is where the pipe goes down under under call it 6 to 8 feet of cement and then down into earth, where that old corrugated steel pipe made it up to our 48 in wet well,
which was also corrugated steel, which is underneath the pump house building, underneath cast iron, underneath the roof, underneath the pumps. That corrugated wet weld is corroded as well. So yeah, they brought
a new pipe in. The problem is sediment and stuff is still coming into the wet well where our pumps go down, suck the water up, which is supposed to be clean, screen water, and then shoot it out. So I met with one contractor, pretty scary
quote on that. We're meeting another contractor Wednesday to try to figure out a way for a permanent band-aid kind of thing. Um the idea again is that imagine a pipe this big it's 10 ft deep and it's
literally sunk right into the ground and technology of the day or low bid whatever they did they literally just back filled soil up against it. So metal rots rocks and stuff like this have just been falling down into the bottom of our wet well. Our pumps have been sucking it
up and that's what's blocking our entire irrigation system in addition to that rock pipe up there. So, big bike fixed, problem coming in. Um, we'll see. End result right now is that we're back on city water, which means you can hand
water greens, you can handle RTS. That's all the water we have. Um, we need rain. So, you dig deeper, it gets uglier, but you'll see uh we'll see Wednesday when I meet with this next contract, what he says. Um, so that's the water situation.
Everything else is pretty standard issue. a question. >> Sure. >> Um, no, I was just wondering are these contractors with uh are they out of town or what? >> One was Lunberg, one's a professional pipe guy in Maine, but these are all basically
>> our engineers that the city uses and you guys were >> Yeah. Does our permitting allow us to do that also? >> It's all included. Mhm.
>> There's no way to filter a screen before that like to keep >> Well, so the thing is visualize it. Say this is the new pump coming or this is the new pipe coming in and then the foundation ends right here and then
down here they have like plywood put underground and then the wet well was dropped behind it. So like when I get I got down in the wet well and we were scooping basically 18 to 2 ft of sediment out there with buckets hoisting it up. >> We get down to the ground and then you
look underneath where this new pipe comes in and sand and stuff is just coming in from the lake. So one option they said was rip your roof off, come down with a torch, cut off the entire metal deck above said wet well and then just put a brand new
plastic sleeve inside. problem is our wet well is 48 in. A plastic sleeve is 42 in. That's outside diameter. Inside diameter is 4 in. So now this wet well that was designed for these two pumps to pull a certain amount of water has
significantly less capacity. Beggars can't choose rather than this whole thing collapse. It's what we might have to do. Contacted a company about cement lining. That was exactly how much you thought it would be and it was a lot of
weird work. Um, we'll see. It's It's It was a It was a pump house that was set up to not be maintained. It's close to its end life expectancy. We fix the pipe coming in. We fix some more things. If we can get this wet well, let's say
it goes three, four, five, six years. Cool. Put a new pump right next to it down the road. Don't know it's underground. >> When they put the pipe in, they build the coffer dam, right? Just lay the pipe in and buried it.
>> Can they build a coffer dam around the current corrugated metal and then pour concrete around that? >> Well, the problem is everything's underneath our pump house. Naturally, this is the entire pump house. pipe is down under the middle of it.
So you have to take the whole roof off. You have to take the existing the the the cast iron pieces the size of this table and that's on top of it and then you go down to the earth 10 ft. So what's around it is all dirt. I mean you'd have to dig you you it would be
cheaper if you to excavate all that and pour around it. You you'd be better off putting it on next door. We're hoping to line it to buy ourselves x amount of years, go get a quote on a new pump house, bond it for 10 years, pay it off
is the idea. We'll see. >> Would you get a quote right now on a new pump house or >> we could It's going to be I mean the last time I got one was 305,000 and that was pre-COVID. So if I had just throw a number out because it's around say half
a million bond it over 10 years a year is >> yeah just how much money we're going to put into this one to fix >> well we've already bought the pipe we've already fixed the inside we've already fixed the outlet now it's just if we can somehow sleeve this for
>> I don't know 8 9 6 10 12 cool you're 75,000 into 3 4 five six years versus I'm guessing 500 >> price per year. >> Yeah. >> Yeah. And it would take you said how
long it took to fix the pipe >> to put a new compass in. >> Yeah. I would get both soon as I fix this one. >> Yep. >> And I would assume you would have to start the permitting again all that >> cuz now it's construction, right? This
is a fix, right? >> Yeah. Okay. >> All right. There's no correspondence, right? Commission members comments. You got anything? >> Are we all set with the license as always? That's all.
>> He's open. He's open. >> Okay. Looking forward to a good good golf season. >> Yeah. here. Thank you very much for opening your >> Yeah, that's exciting. >> Mother nature is dry out there. This is the dest I've seen it in the spring. Yeah, that's what they were saying. I
said it's dry, too. >> That's good. All right, let's review the financials. So, as of right now, we got $711,000 in revenues and we got 693 in expenses. However, the
expenses include the new equipment that's was purchased in couple of months and a new lease is in there. So, once I transfer some money, that will clear that up. And they had taken the 260 yet, but I'm
sure that'll be that's usually from should have taken it by now. >> Maybe I'll take it in April. >> So, right now we're still um still showing a positive number of uh about $18,000.
I'm sure that number will change as we move forward with the season and and transfer some more money in here. So, fairly close to last year's surplus. Any questions on financials?
>> Hearing none. Any motion? Make a motion to accept the financial present. >> Second. >> All in favor say I. >> I. Any oppos? So
the next meeting right now we got 511. that you want to do that her thing the same time or you want to do it a different day. >> There's a good chance I might not be here, right? >> This all bounces on me.
>> So the city entirely. So >> So do you want to do a special meeting next week? >> Can I do it next week? Yeah. >> Is is anybody Is everybody available next Tuesday? >> Tuesday. >> 21st. >> Yeah.
Um, I have the my golf. >> Um, long as we get a warm, we'll be fine. >> So, when I I'll book the book that >> we can't do Monday. No, >> Tuesday. On Tuesday, I can essentially have any
time, right? You said June. >> Was it you? >> Well, that was that was the 22nd. You're going to go back, right? That was 22nd of June. >> So So you're good. The 21st. >> Yeah, we can do it early.
>> Doesn't matter. I need Vinnie. >> We do need it. Really depends on Vinnie. We probably should have people available Wednesday, too, just in case Vinnie's not available Tuesday, you know? Like >> Yep. >> Yeah. It's all about >> Yeah. Tuesday, Wednesday, free.
Wednesday, Tuesday earlier. >> Okay. >> So, I'll come back to this as pending until somebody speaks to me. >> Yeah. >> Okay. >> Yep. >> And then we'll have a meeting on May 11th
