Jill\nKovacs stated that the process had not reached that stage, everything is still very preliminary and\nany corrections are still only thoughts.

He stated that\nhe would like to redirect the Rules back to Karen Willis, and would like to supply a note and copy to\nthe City Attorney.

Absent: Commissioner\nSandr\u00e9 Swanson. Also present were Interim General Manger Dale Lillard and\nGolf Services Manager Matt Plumlee.\n2.\nAGENDA ITEMS:\n2-A\nApproval of the Marshal Program and Benefits. (Action Item)\nChair Wood reported that representatives from the Marshal Program, Golf Commission\nand Management met to discuss the proposed changes to the Marshal benefits. The\nmeeting resulted in a reduction of the proposed cart fee of $10 to $7. Also it was agreed\nupon that Marshal's would be allowed to play golf one time on the weekend provided\nthat they are playing with a paying threesome and the Marshal does not make the\nreservation. The program will be reviewed in three to six months and if the financial\nclimate at the Complex has improved the benefits will be increased. There was some\nconfusion regarding the rate a customer playing with a marshal will pay for a golf cart.\nThe rate will be the applicable rate at the time of play and based on the age of the player.\nThe same benefits will be included in the management practice for the employee benefits.\nThe following changes were made to the Management Practice's footnote: \"The\naforementioned benefits shall apply to all persons eligible to receive complimentary\ngreen fees, including, but not limited to employees, volunteers, Golf Commissioners, City\nCouncil Members, PGA/LPGA and other VIP guests.\" The motion was made\nby\nSecretary Sullwold to accept the Volunteer Marshal Work Program Management Practice\n#7 with the modifications discussed.

{"body": "GolfCommission", "date": "2007-04-04", "page": 2, "text": "2-B\nApproval of the Chuck Corica Golf Complex Policy Changes. (Action Item)\nThe Golf Commission reviewed the following policy changes:\n1.\n30/21 day advance reservations (res/non).\n2.\n9-hole rate on weekdays at anytime on the Jack Clark Course.\n3.\nService club members charged according to residency when playing in\nclub events.\nPolicy number one would allow City of Alameda Preferential Starting Time\nholders to call and make reservations 30 days in advance and all other customers\nthe ability to call 21 days in advance. The benefits of extending the time is that\ncustomers can call to reserve a tee time further in advance and make plans\naccordingly. The question was raised regarding how many times the system\nallows a customer to book during the 30/21 time frame. The Golf Services\nManager stated that the current computer system is unable to restrict the number\nof tee times a customer can book, although the Preferential Starting Time policy\nstates that a member can book one weekday and one weekend time or two\nweekday times a week. Secretary Sullwold made the motion to accept the policy\nchanging the advance reservation period to 30 days for Preferential Starting Time\nholders and 21 days for all other customers. Commissioner Gammell seconded\nthe motion. The Golf Commission passed the motion unanimously. The new\npolicy will be effective May 1, 2007. Policy number two would allow customers\nto pay for and play 9-holes of golf at anytime Monday through Friday on the Jack\nClark Golf Course. The Golf Services Manager stated that the problem with\nallowing the 9-hole rate all day as opposed to the first 2 hours of the day which is\nthe current policy is that there is no way to monitor the golfers to ensure that they\ndo only play 9-holes and not 18. Commissioner Gammell made the motion to not\nchange the 9-hole rate policy and continue to allow only play the first 2 hours of\nthe day. Secretary Sullwold seconded the motion. The Golf Commission passed\nthe motion unanimously. The third policy for review would be to have the service\nclub members pay the appropriate fee according to residency when playing\nin\nclub events. The current policy is that service club members pay the age\nappropriate resident rate when playing in group events. There has been a problem\nin establishing whether a player is a senior or not and it was suggested that the\ngolf starters check identification for all players when they check in. It was stated\nthat the Service Clubs bring a large number of golfers to play at the Complex on a\nregular basis and they should be rewarded by paying a reduced rate.\nCommissioner Gammell made the motion to set a policy stating All service clubs\nmembers shall be charged the \"Resident\" (according to age) rates when playing in\nclub events. Secretary Sullwold seconded the motion.

It was mentioned that since there was\nnot a representative from the Development Services Department the item was\ntabled to a future meeting when a representative could be present.\n2-D\nDiscussion on the Commissioner Reports Format and a Briefing Package for\nFuture Golf Commissioners.\nChair Wood suggested that the current Commissioner Reports be reviewed and that the\nCommission begin to used the \"Old Business\" as an area where pending issues be listed\nso that they will be revisited in the future and not forgotten. The Interim General Manger\nsuggested that an item be placed on the agenda called \"Items for Next Agenda', that way\nthe Commission can discuss items they would like to see on future agendas.\nCommissioner Gammell stated that the Commissioner Reports are a good way to ensure\nthat areas of the Complex are reviewed on a monthly basis. Chair Wood also mentioned\nthat there should be a packet put together for new Golf Commissioners to brief them on\nthe role and goals of the Golf Commission. Chair Wood would like to form a committee\nto compose a briefing packet for future Golf Commission members. The Interim General\nManager mentioned that there is a similar packet for the Recreation and Parks\nCommission and will bring a copy of it for the Commissioners to review. It was\nmentioned that the area between #17 green and #18 tee on the Earl Fry Golf Course\nis\ndangerous and a sign should be placed in the area warning the group that players are\nteeing off above them. Chair Wood suggested that a master plan be designed for tree\nplanting on the golf courses to help in some of the dangerous teeing areas. It was also\nmentioned that the tee sign on #6 of the Jack Clark Golf Course is missing. A contractor\ndoing work on the fence in the area broke the sign. Also the tee sign on #14 of the Earl\nFry Golf Course has orange paint indicating the forward tees and it should be red. The\nSuperintendent will order a replacement sign and get some red paint from the company to\nfix the color. Vice Chair Gaul asked that the Golf Commission explore the possibilities\nof using modular buildings for the banquet facility. Chair Wood stated that a committee\nto review the item would consist of Vice Chair Gaul as the committee Chair, Chair Wood\nand Commissioner Gammell as members.
