ITEM N0. 2: A motion was rude by Dennis Dunham and seconded by
Richard Hayes to approve the minutes of the May 26, 1988
meeting. r4inutes were approved as presented.
ITEf4 N0. ~: REVIEHi STATUS OF GOLF' COURSE.
Alex reported that everything was going smoothly and
that they were starting to get into the roughs. He said
that Dennis Hlavaty had the crew organized and they are
keeping the fairways and greens mowed and they were all
shaping up. Alex said the rough areas were the next
priority, getting them cleaned up, sprayed, etc. As
soon as they can get the areas cleaned, get some of the
bad areas fixed up and the cart storage building is
completed and carts are delivered, Alex feels that
everything will be in step for opening the golf course.
Dennis Hlavaty told the Board that they had top-dressed
the greens last week, some of them are real smooth while
others are still rough, but in time they will all be
ready. Dennis Hlavaty said he felt like the big tree on
the right of ~~10 was going to be lost, so it will need
to come down. Dennis Dunham asked who's responsibility
it was to replace trees, etc. that are lost/die at the
course. Joel said that we will work with the Parks &
Receration Dept. this fall and winter to transplant
trees. John Joerns also told the Board that land had
been set aside at Northwest Park for a tree farm.

GOLF COURSE ADVISORY BOARD MEETING
MItdUTES OF JUNE 23, 1988

Joel informed the Board that Trident Construction has
come back in and repaired the cart paths that were
defective. The south end of the paths that was
considered the most critical has been replaced, without
any damage to the drainage situation.
The clubhouse foundation is poured and they are going up
with the framing construction right now. The cart
storage building foundation was poured last week, the
maintenance building foundation was poured this
morning. The time table for these buildings is around
the 15th-20th of July, and all seems to be on schedule.
The golf carts were completed Monday and they are
waiting for our ok for shipment.

Alex told the Board that he would prefer to have
facilities at the course before opening the "driving
range". The portable building has been moved in for the
temporary office/pro shop and when it has been checked
out and the electricity is on, then it would be feasible
to open the "driving range", a date of July 15th was
targeted for this. There will be a charge for using the
range and this fee will be set by Alex.
Richard Hayes asked if there has been any decisions
about securing the course a little more in regards to
fencing? Joel told him that the gates for across the
front entrance have been ordered, these will be put in
after the gas line is placed. Additional fencing on the
4Jharton-4Jeems side will be done with a gate for the
larger pieces of equipment to go through. The fencing
will be barb-wire or chain link if the budget will
allow.
•
ITEM N0. 4: RFP FOR CONCESSIONAIRE FOR CLUBHOUSE.
Joel informed the Board that the "RFP" for the
Concessionaire would be going out within the next week
for the Bay Forest clubhouse. They will be expected to
supply food, beverage,and concession items for the golf
course. They will also provide all equipment for
cooking, along with a freezer, refrigerator, ice
machines (2), hand sink, stainless steel tables,
matching tables and chairs to accommondate a minimum of
60 people. They will also provide insurance (i.e.
6Jorker's Compensation, comprehensive general liability,
comprehensive automobile liability). See attached copy
of the proposal for all the specifics.

lwlembers of the Board are concerned that we have a "First
Class" course and they certainly want the clubhouse to
have the same type of handling. Concern was to the type
of concessionaire that we might end up with and if the
City would have any control over this; if at a later
date the concessionaire was not living up to his/her
standards; will we have the right to terminate them,
etc. They want all standards to meet those of the golf
course and to have a type of clubhouse we could all be
proud of.
