Manager’s Report:

Golf Carts: Will Lancaster updated the board on his findings of purchasing new carts.

Monday the 12th Harold from Superior Golf Carts will be bringing some carts for Will to look at.

No decision has been made on what we will do with purchasing new carts.

Membership and Line of credit: We have received payment for about half the membership from last year.

There was another 10K applied to line of credit which brings the balance to $20k.

All bills are paid except for the concrete on #2 that has not been submitted yet.

Superintendents Report:

Equipment: Jay Erickson reported that we made 3 purchases this year for mowers.

1. John Deere back up fairway mower for 1900.00 will need a little bit of work but should be fine for quite a while as a backup.

2. Scott picked up a tee/greens mower for 3400.00 online.

Very nice piece of equipment for the money it will replace Our tee mower.

3. Toro sidewinder We picked this one up for 2500.00. This is for surrounds.

The idea is that the heads can be moved from side to side so you don’t break down the edges as You mow the surrounds.

This mower was a great buy for the money.

4. Scott was able to sell 3 pieces of Our old equipment which will go against Our new purchases.

We basically updated what we thought would take Us 2 years and about 20,000 for roughly 8500.00 in 1 year.

Old Business:

Memorial committee: Gary O’Connor has volunteered to head a memorial committee and will ask some members of the golf course to be on the committee with him. The committee will meet with people who want to donate money and help organize the memorials they wish to give to the golf course. Memorial for Jim Stee will be handled by the memorial committee.

New Business:

Pond on 15 proposal – This has been tabled until a committee comes forward with plans and costs for putting in a pond.

Club storage: Jay Erickson will talk with Terry Buck about the cost. Terry has volunteered his labor and Tim Crone will do wiring. We will have to raise the money for materials. Will Lancaster will send out an email to see if there is enough interest to move forward. All the money will need to be raised before the project is started.

Tournaments: Jay Erickson has been approached by some of the membership about different pricing for members that play in tournaments. It was brought up that since members pay the same amount that one idea might be to take a percentage of the fee and deposit in a improvement fund for golf course projects.

Back entry door: It was discussed that the back door is to be locked and only one who can access the club through that door is Will Lancaster. Todd Lexvold will address this with Will Lancaster.

Benches: There was also discussion on the benches on the front nine. They are in dire need of painting and fixing. We will pull the benches from the front nine until we decide how we want to pursue the replacement of them.

Next Meeting:

Sunday May 16th, 6:00 at ZGC

Adjournment: 11:00

Roger Archer motioned to close the meeting and was seconded by Shirley Buck.
