ITEM N0. 2: A motion was made by Jack Humphrey and seconded by Richard Hayes to approve the minutes of the April 28, 1988• Minutes were approved as presented. TTE~i N0._3: STATUS OF GOLF COURSE/CLUBHOUSE/MAINTENANCE/CART STORAGE BUILDINGS. Dennis H. reported that nearly all of the greens are grassed over, with only a few little spots, here and there. He said they had just finished top-dressing for the first time that morning (Thursday). The entire course was fertilized approximately two (2) weeks ago and they would be fertilizing again next week. The fairways are coming in good and may not need any replanting of grass. No. 16, which he thought might have to be replanted, is doing good and grassing over. No. 4 is coming along real good also. Replanting might have to be along the slopes, but that is something he will have to wait and see. Dennis H. said he felt like we were going to lose a couple of trees on the left side of No. 1. He also said the course was draining real good and he was very pleased with it. The driving range will be available when the temporary building/office is moved in. Joel said the temporary building should be in next week (1st week of June). We will then need to get temporary water, etc. Joel told the Board that a Change Order has been issued to Allgood Construction for the site work around the maintenance and cart storage building, they are to start this afternoon. • GOLF COURSE ADVISORY BOARD MEETING MINUTES OF MAY 26, 19$8 PAGE 2 The Letter to Proceed for the maintenance and cart storage buildings will be going out so construction can began next Wednesday, June 1, 1988• The contracts and final documents have all been done and construction should also start Wednesday, on the clubhouse.
