00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:22.800
Yeah. All right. Okay. It's 4:30. Let's call the golf commission meeting to order. Uh just let the minutes uh show that the meeting is being video and audio tape and will be posted to the city's YouTube account. First item on the agenda is the

2
00:00:22.800 --> 00:00:37.520
uh minutes of the minutes from the last meeting. >> Make a motion we accept the minutes of this uh draft. All >> in favor say I. >> I. Anybody opposed? >> Oh, business uh

3
00:00:37.520 --> 00:00:53.680
>> feasibility study was still I think we're in the process of meeting with the architects at some point. >> Sounds like reviewing plans uh by August 20th. >> Um and then meeting with them the end of August some point. Um the committee is

4
00:00:53.680 --> 00:01:09.840
going to meet again before we meet with the architect so we can review the plans. Um once we have the plans commission too um but um we're going to read those first and then be with the architects. So

5
00:01:09.840 --> 00:01:31.360
that just came out today. All right. Uh new business. Um nothing update Dan. Um, couple things. Uh, we're getting time already time of year to start a fall special to try to drive new members. I would like to try to continue

6
00:01:31.360 --> 00:01:47.600
to do that starting on August 24th or August 31st. Um, there's interest already out there. Um, and you know, as we talk about rates going into next year, we could obviously extend that to members as well to save money like we

7
00:01:47.600 --> 00:02:02.880
have in the past. Um, but yeah, I need to, you know, do what it's the 24th, 31st, doesn't matter to me and kind of get some people in here for the fall, get them locked in for next year. If that needs to be voted on or agreed

8
00:02:02.880 --> 00:02:19.280
upon or make a motion, install special Labor Day. Is that it? >> 31st is the Friday before Labor Day. >> Okay. 90 for the motion to do the fall special August

9
00:02:19.280 --> 00:02:37.040
31st. Second. Any further discussion? All in favor say I. >> I. Opposed. Motion carries. Just on the rates to if we are going to propose anything there how that's formulated, if we have some kind of projection back up

10
00:02:37.040 --> 00:02:51.440
of costs and what we're taking in and what we're what this is going to cover. Um I think that'd be helpful. Um so this plan to do that is we're doing it as we move along um in September October

11
00:02:51.440 --> 00:03:09.200
reports back in how we want taken in from season all the other sources um as well as the membership and then where where the costs are going talking about this in the in the abstract just in general for cities with

12
00:03:09.200 --> 00:03:24.879
costs that going up. your opinion. >> Um the other one other one issue that I want to talk about um golf lessons down the golf range. It's an increasing problem. I think I would put in my my

13
00:03:24.879 --> 00:03:41.280
mind that there's at least five other people giving golf lessons down the driving range. Um I understand it's public range. Um, however, I think it's a it's a the optics are terrible that none of those individuals are associated

14
00:03:41.280 --> 00:03:57.439
with a golf course or the city of Cardner. Um, I think the professionalism of a couple people down there is very poor where I have not been approached, I think, by a couple people. There's one individual in particular that literally is probably down there more than I am.

15
00:03:57.439 --> 00:04:14.799
And I have done a decent amount of lessons this year. Um, I don't know if this would go into a liability issue. Um, although I have had people come up to me already in in state that they are getting golf lessons at car golf course and ask if that's with me and that's

16
00:04:14.799 --> 00:04:30.240
nobody that I've heard of. Um, so, you know, I said this one individual in particular that's always down there. I don't know if this is something that should be uh brought up here or maybe with a city solicitor, if it is a an

17
00:04:30.240 --> 00:04:46.720
issue with someone that's not associated with the golf course being down there or what. Um the flyer that I did put up um for my for our lessons instruction stuff just kind of stated that anybody

18
00:04:46.720 --> 00:05:02.080
else giving lessons down there was not affiliated with us, was not affiliated with the city of Gardner. And I asked that anybody was down there um soliciting golf lessons to let us know. Um I don't believe that has happened. Um you know a couple of them are local

19
00:05:02.080 --> 00:05:17.680
couple of them are soliciting lessons through website with an attached business. Now whether or not listened on or not that's different um I don't know what your thoughts are on that. You know I understand it's public range can't

20
00:05:17.680 --> 00:05:34.479
control everything that goes on down there. However, you know it's kind of uh the optics are terrible. I'm not I'm not saying that I'm a better instructor or worse instructor than anybody that goes down there. That's not my point. Um obviously it is it is a little bit of an

21
00:05:34.479 --> 00:05:49.360
income source for me um throughout the year. >> What what can you do like what can you do as the health commission? Well, I think you know if someone's using um municipal property, they should have

22
00:05:49.360 --> 00:06:09.120
their own insurance like for instance if I wanted to use the band place, you know, city I think I think you're right. It could be alive in the kitchen or something. >> Yeah, just something happen within

23
00:06:09.120 --> 00:06:27.600
within a golf and you don't have to golf course. Um, so city should probably have that. >> Yeah. Can you just post up a business on municipal property?

24
00:06:27.600 --> 00:06:44.479
Oh, yeah. I kind of kind of equals and selling out of the trunk in the driving park. It's like it's kind of awkward. >> Yeah, that's buying a token, right? So they can use

25
00:06:44.479 --> 00:07:06.639
the range. >> Can they run a business? >> I don't know. You look very great. >> Yeah. I thought we'd approach it more like we get something formal.

26
00:07:06.639 --> 00:07:25.520
Is that something? >> Okay. >> Yeah. I'll CC you guys. I can't CC all you guys, but yourself as well. >> Oh, people down there. Yeah. >> Oh, absolutely. >> And more like individual oneonone or

27
00:07:25.520 --> 00:07:39.919
like groups? >> There's not groups. No, it's individual ones. >> Yeah. I would say that would be pretty well. >> But it's it's kind of we've been out there similarly at the same time. >> Yeah.

28
00:07:39.919 --> 00:07:56.720
>> Um I'm not a confrontational person. >> Right. by by nature. However, right seems to be somebody's teaching down there that they're absorbing more times down there with the token. So that they're tying up

29
00:07:56.720 --> 00:08:35.680
the range where you may not be able to play because zero time focus poison rais. when they're buying. >> Yeah, we don't we don't have two times

30
00:08:35.680 --> 00:09:16.800
manage. I don't know what they're required to call balls. They're different balls. So, but I don't know where that line is. Start the email see if there's anything put in place going

31
00:09:16.800 --> 00:09:34.399
into next year. I can reach out to these individuals if he is easy. That's all. That's all I have. Thank you. Any other questions? >> Um, we're anticipating our last two

32
00:09:34.399 --> 00:09:50.320
pieces of equipment being delivered next week. Um, our 300galon sprayer and our Triplex T and collar G model. Um, but we also anticipating that for 3 months. So, but it's it sounds pretty legit. Um the other thing we're going to get done in

33
00:09:50.320 --> 00:10:05.360
the next couple weeks and we've already ordered it um is we're going to replace that range net on the right. So there it's it's all one continuous run of cables and with any netting that's attached to a continuous cable. When one

34
00:10:05.360 --> 00:10:22.640
cable fails, it's all done now. So it's starting to rip and pull and pull. So what we're going to do is we're going to take it all out. Take the cables out. Take the old netting out. It's half ripped. 3/4 ripped. and we're going to put it back up in sections so that as one section down lower gets used a lot

35
00:10:22.640 --> 00:10:38.720
more a lot more. If that fails in the next 5 6 8 10 12 years we can pull that section out, put it in and go. But um it's it's right around $9,000 which I thought by today's standards was crazy affordable um to do that right side

36
00:10:38.720 --> 00:10:54.959
wall. Um, so it's something that we can look into maybe down further down that that bigger part of the range further down the end or just Yeah. Yeah. They got room lift in there. So we're shutting down range for a few

37
00:10:54.959 --> 00:11:14.160
days and do it. But um pieces of reinvestment. So that's about it. It's raining a lot free water. Um, do they make like So it's kind of a pain

38
00:11:14.160 --> 00:11:31.040
to go get the tokens. They make one or you can just like tap them. >> Yeah. So you get the balls out. >> We had the option of using a credit card. We replaced that what 2 years ago. The new the new one. It wasn't an option

39
00:11:31.040 --> 00:11:51.440
for the credit card. Um I don't I don't really know why. I was concerned more about not functioning properly. Um I know we can't put cash on there.

40
00:11:51.440 --> 00:12:08.839
>> No, no, there there there is there is a credit card option on there. I don't know. I think that's one thing to talk about is is if that goes down, is it all disabled? I don't know. versus just the old tried and true put in there with you

41
00:12:09.600 --> 00:12:28.160
or something. I think that most of them are >> sell. Yeah. >> Yeah. Take some foot traffic, >> right? And if there was

42
00:12:28.160 --> 00:12:46.399
too, right? Across the street, right? Yeah. Yeah. Any other questions? Um,

43
00:12:46.399 --> 00:13:02.720
can everyone speak about the 13 and I guess natural grid and that stage? >> They tell us they tell us something different. That's horrible answer, but like I've asked every guy in that crew and they

44
00:13:02.720 --> 00:13:18.959
all go, I don't know. This is this is all my next guy further over to the right. He says, I don't even know. I just do this part right here. Now, is that staging on our property or is it going to be a property? >> Right. Right.

45
00:13:18.959 --> 00:13:36.000
>> It's kind of like our property. I believe what it is. >> It's like if you have a tree in front of your yard and you think that's your tree, your yard. They measure certain feet off the middle of the of the street. That's their street. You're their yard, their tree. Whoever wants to

46
00:13:36.000 --> 00:13:51.839
take my garage, they can take my garage. >> Correct. That is not your garage. >> Yeah. I think we probably >> Yeah, but right away for electricity the last time I checked in with the girl contact is

47
00:13:51.839 --> 00:14:07.600
they're going to come back to that site probably within a couple weeks put up metal poles high tension poles that's the whole purpose we're doing it all the way up and down where that's going I don't know it's

48
00:14:07.600 --> 00:14:24.160
going closer to the old ones I'm not going to say put that thing in the I'm going to guess at some point they're going to remove all that stuff and we're going to have access to that >> on the back side of the tree again. No idea.

49
00:14:24.160 --> 00:14:41.440
>> No idea. If I had to guess, I would guess the actual process itself probably goes pretty quickly. just the necessity of, hey, we'll drop these two old wooden holes, replace it with a nice single steel one, but like we got to make that turn around fast cuz it's electricity.

50
00:14:41.440 --> 00:15:01.040
So, when it probably starts to happen, it goes quickly, but they're setting up to be able to do it, right? They're going to make sure they're ready to go when it's time to go, but it's going to be long and ugly and drawn out. And I bet this doesn't help. It was a swamp before, now it's wet. So

51
00:15:01.040 --> 00:15:29.720
I I don't know. Not a great answer, but it's National Grid. They're in charge. >> Yeah. My guess is probably going to be at least um that plans there. I know the reason there was a year ago

52
00:15:33.360 --> 00:15:52.399
took it out because they said go in there. Um there become a hazard. We don't talk about it. We don't think about the tree itself

53
00:15:52.399 --> 00:16:10.240
cuz it used to lay out there. That's the whole point. If we left it right where it is right now to where it goes, >> you go in there, you hit it, you grab the club, you just don't find it, you just drop it. >> Yeah. >> Yes. Absolutely.

54
00:16:10.240 --> 00:16:25.360
>> Yeah. >> Right now, I understand especially with women, a lot of the balls roll that way and a lot of men's ball roll that way, too. So I'm indifferent whether it's on either side of the I guess shooting more bush bushes and not the green line but a

55
00:16:25.360 --> 00:16:45.880
lot of the trees you guys kind of play it but see at least some things for a while and we know what happens when they pick up for a while anyway

56
00:16:56.639 --> 00:17:17.199
Seriously thing I prayed for I never got and I got all that question high school team last year talking about how the team were like expanding into the 30s and absorbing the practice. being in

57
00:17:17.199 --> 00:17:35.120
class and we put a lot of big schooling in their cars 13 to 12 players through school. Um half their range time a couple times a week. Um they're not allowed to practice on the weekends

58
00:17:35.120 --> 00:17:50.880
and you know masters obviously will still take the president in the week and that that was fine. It's just a matter of sheer number of people um quantity. >> Yeah. And you know, I I put that forth through months ago and >> they were all fine with it. >> They were all fine with it, including

59
00:17:50.880 --> 00:18:22.160
the school that had 35 kids on the team. >> Okay, that's fine. >> I suppose it was alcame it became a supervision issue. Yeah, >> with that team particularly the weekend issue too. So we kind of had

60
00:18:22.160 --> 00:18:53.280
to just create a system that made everybody level which was really close to what three teams were already doing anyways just team I have all I have all four schedules.

61
00:18:53.280 --> 00:19:13.760
So, I'm going to put them in the calendar. See if there any conflicts. Make sure nothing's make sure there's still availability. Have them move matches if they need to. All right. Um, I have one more thing for I

62
00:19:13.760 --> 00:19:40.360
discussed before and feel really strongly about the uh cuffs on the lack of controls down there about it. talking they're going to they're going to get destroyed by those.

63
00:19:40.640 --> 00:20:28.559
I mean I have to find a person that's that's their job. They're going to be changing the whole place. That's the practice there for two decades. Congratulations to the new champions. Right. >> Amy, is this include last week?

64
00:20:28.559 --> 00:20:48.240
>> Um, the answer was last week, not today. >> Okay. Not not the one I just gave you. >> Correct. >> Okay. So this is probably just through three weeks in July. >> Yes. I think did that give you 28 today?

65
00:20:48.240 --> 00:21:19.000
>> Yep. >> Okay. >> All right. So the revenue of the 3 weeks of July is $148,000. Expenses are at 93,000. All this is pretty much over there. So, right now we're at $55,000.

66
00:21:26.000 --> 00:21:50.640
Um Amy, next time could you print out the uh end of the year uh final financial for the next meeting? >> Sure. >> Okay. Thank you. >> So any questions on financials

67
00:21:50.640 --> 00:22:20.640
to accept financial second? >> All in favor say I. Um next meeting August 24th that is that one of the dates that the meeting I think so but she was trying to do in

68
00:22:20.640 --> 00:22:44.200
the morning like early afternoon before our time or at least it wasn't the meeting with the arch. I think it was the meeting with four meeting. Okay. So, I think that was like 10 or something. Okay. Anybody else?

69
00:22:47.120 --> 00:23:07.000
Need a motion to motion. Second. Say hi. >> Thank you. >> 24th >> of August or September? >> August.
