~, MINUTES OF THE FEBRUARY 18, 1988 MEETING PAGE 3 Joel also informed the Board that the bids have been received and opened for the parking lot/ entrance road to the golf course. We received good bids for concrete and Staff recommended to Council and Council has accepted the concrete paving. Base bid on the concrete was $136,000.00. Next item brought up was the status on the club house. The plans and specifications were put out for bid on Tuesday and it seems we are going to have a large number of contractors picking up packets. This should mean that we will get some real good bids. Status of the cart storage/maintenance buildings - specifications have been completed and we will be getting with contractors to discuss these. These should go out for bids around the last of this month (February). At this point Dr. Wheeler brought up a question about used equipment for the course to start out with. Joel explained that Staff had searched for used equipment and that there is none to be had. He said that we did purchase two (2) used/rebuilt walk behind greens mowers. TOURNAMENT/ANNUAL FEES Alex said he felt that we should schedule as many tournaments as we possibly can. If this starts to interfere with our regular players, then we can cut back. The Board agreed that Alex was in full charge of any and all tournaments and he was to use his discretion. Some tournaments discussed were charity, Rotary, etc. Annual fees - Alex felt that we should have a sign up sheet/questionnaire for players after the course is open, to see how they feel about an annual fee. David at this point brought up the possibility of "Charter Members". Dr. Wheeler felt this would be to the advantage of the golfers instead of having to pay for green fees, especially for people who play 2-3 times a week. The annual fee was discussed by each member of the Board and in general each felt the same way; that an annual fee might be to the benefit of the golf course and its players. No final decision was made on this matter. • A committee was made up of Alex Osmond, David Brady and Dr. Ruede Wheeler to do some research of other courses and come up with some recommendation for "Charter Membership" and annual fees. A questionnaire made up and mailed out by Joel was also suggested, this would give citizen input on the subject.
