GolfCommission | 2005-06-15 | 3 | seems to be the small trees that are dying. The General Manager replied that the Complex has always had problems with starter trees due to the reclaimed water quality. The suggestion was made to remove the dead trees. The materials for the practice putting area have been on order for a few months and the last time the General Manager spoke to the vendor he stated that he was not happy with the quality of the material after returning from an installation in Texas. The vendor is now suggesting that a material needing topdressing be used. This is not the surface we wanted to install due to the fact that it gets compacted and tends to run faster than a grass green. The management is now trying to renegotiate to find another product. The suggestion was made to put a grass green in the area. The parking lot is being striped this week. In reference to the fire tower at the entrance, it is anticipated that it will cost around $14,000 to have a hazardous materials report done at the site. Bob Han of the Public Works Department has estimated that it could cost upwards of $100,000 to remove the tower. Commissioner Wood met with the Acting City Manager to discuss the cleaning up of the building and integrating it into the entrance. The area has many utilities housed at the site. The burden of cost for either removal or renovation of the tower will likely be placed on the Golf Enterprise Fund after the land is conveyed to the Golf Department from the Fire Department. The question was asked if there was any liability in keeping the building. The General Manager stated that the building would not be inhabited and would basically be a monument to look at. More research needs to be done to determine whether it is more feasible to tear the building down or renovate it. The new bunker has been constructed at the new practice area and the hope is to open the entire area once the practice green is completed. 4-D Beautification Program by Mrs. Norma Arnerich.
