City Manager John Joerns, Director of Parks & Recreation Stan Sherwood, CIP Manager Pat O'Mally, Jay Riviere and Bruce Latel of Riviere-Marr, Inc. 2. Jay Riviere discussed the status on the golf course construction. The first phase of earthmoving moved 58,330 cubic yards ('7,000 cubic yards per day being moved). Hy June 20, dirt should be moved on northside of Weems. Shaping can be done in most weather conditions and should not slow process down. Areas still needing clearing are practice area 5.5 acres, ditch by clubhouse 1.5 acres, and southside is cleared. Dirt allocated for driving range is 9900 cubic yards. The 3" crown was reduced to 1-1/2" on driving range making a 1 to 1- 1/2~ slope so water still gets off fast making a savings of 2,000 cu.yds. which is a $2,500.00 savings. Drain piping and 5 catch basins can be eliminated without sacrificing quality of golf course • and will not affect drainage. This will save $11,052.00 making a net savings of $13,652.00 to put back into budget from driving range. Lake "A" is complete and Lake "B" should be finished by this evening. The lakes average 9.5 feet deep. While shaping northside and moving dirt on southside, the irrigation can be started. Culverts should be put in today. southside has 85,000 cu.yds. and will be moved in 18 working days. September and October are good growing months. By seeding with bermuda and overseeding with rye there would be a possibility of the course opening in December. Greens Superintendent should be on board three (3) months in advance. Thirty (30) days before opening, crews need to be on board. Pro needs some knowledge of how to run a business. Hob Herrera suggested that Jay Riviere provide some feedback at next meeting in regards to type of personnel, maintenance, pro, greenskeeper etc. 3. John Joerns explained that they were examining cost of Carter taking over City work. He talked to Carter about the different techniques on earthmoving, shaping around the greens and tees, ie; change methodolgy or work as originally scheduled such as the drains. The City will make recommendations to the committee for decisions on items in the contract or money saving cuts. L~
