'R <br />Y ~ <br />Page 2 <br />Minutes of Meeting <br />n <br />LJ <br />ITEM 6: A status report on construction progress, work completed <br />and work anticipated was presented by Jay Riviere. <br />Mr. Riviere summarized his report by stating that <br />grassing and seeding could begin in 30 days and if <br />proper care was taken and weather continued to be <br />favorable that a December 1987 opening is a good <br />possibility. <br />ITEM 7 The committee, City Staff and Jay Riviere openly <br />discussed the hiring of a Greenskeeper and/or Golf <br />Professional and the timing. Robert Herrera presented a <br />draft job description for a Pro/Manager. <br />Discussion was held about hiring a super Manager/Pro <br />with a strong knowledge of keeping records, maintenance <br />operations, grassing, and possibly letting this <br />individual hire a greenskeeper. <br />Dave Brady asked how we could support a $100,000 <br />individual prior to having a good income on revenues <br />from the Golf Course. <br />• Rudy Wheeler suggested that we look for a current <br />assistant pro and hire this person at current rate and <br />let him grow based on the fact that he will be the Pro <br />and provide him with incentives where he can see down <br />the road that he can make an increased salary or bonus <br />as the course grows and matures. Open discussion was <br />held and it was decided the job description presented by <br />Robert Herrera was a good one but it should be added <br />that the individual sought should have 5 to 6 years <br />experience as an Assistant Pro and should know the <br />grasses in the La Porte geographical region. The Board <br />agreed to assist in the review process and that the City <br />Manager would make the final selection of the Golf <br />Course Manager. <br />ITEM Rude Wheeler said that based on discussions with private <br />citizens that it might be a good idea to open the <br />driving range and putting green as soon as possible as a <br />teaser to develop interest in the course. Jay Riviere <br />said he would check this out with the Contractor. <br />ITEM 9: Dick Hays asked it if was possible to build a pitch and <br />putt area. Jay Riviere said he would pursue with Carter <br />Golf. <br /> <br />
