GolfCommission | 2006-09-20 | 2 | 2006 there are 143 Miracle League Organizations across the country. The field is constructed of a cushioned rubberized material and is flat throughout, the dugouts are wheelchair accessible and there is an accessible restroom. Currently there are 41 completed rubberized fields and 61 fields under construction. The league is looking for land in Alameda to construct a field and was interested in the land on the Golf Complex near the cross-airport roadway behind #5 green and #6 tee on the Jack Clark Course. The Miracle League requested that the Golf Commission consider endorsing the league as the first step towards approval. The Golf Commission made a motion to endorse the Miracle League as an organization unanimously. The Golf Commission directed the General Manager to research the process necessary for assisting the Miracle League. 3-C Discussion on Change in Venue and Time for the Golf Commission Regular Meetings. (Action Item) The General Manager stated that the suggestion was made at a previous meeting to change the time and venue for the monthly regular Golf Commission meeting. The suggestion was to have the meeting in the restaurant, Jim's on the Course, or in the Ladies Lounge at the Golf Complex. The meetings would continue to be on the third Wednesday of the month although would start at 5:30 p.m. It was stated that having the meetings at City Hall makes it a more formal atmosphere. The Golf Commission approved changing the venue and time of the regular meetings to the Ladies Lounge at 5:30 p.m. for a trial period until the end of the year. After the trial period the item will be placed on the agenda for final approval. 3-D Approval of Agenda and Golf Commission Recommendation for the Special Joint meeting with the Alameda City Council. (Action Item) The General Manager passed out a draft agenda for the joint meeting for the Golf Commissioners review. The General Manager would like to have each Golf Commissioner give a report. The Golf Commission decided to postpone approval of the agenda and recommendation until after the next work session. Also decided was to postpone the Special Joint Meeting to a later date to allow the Golf Commission to be better prepared. The Golf Commission needs to prioritize what the main concerns are facing the clubhouse development. It was mentioned that a lot of time and money has been spent on the Clubhouse Project and nothing has come out of it. The Golf Commission needs to find out from City Council how much money and what projects can be accomplished since the Clubhouse Project is no longer deemed feasible. The Golf Commission would like to present a recommendation to City Council asking for a decrease in the concessions the Golf Fund makes to the General Fund. The additional revenue could be used to help the Golf Complex fund the clubhouse and other necessary Capital Improvement Projects (CIP's). It was suggested to have another work session meeting with the Golf Commission prior to the joint meeting to discuss the recommendation. Chair Gammell asked Commissioner Schmitz and Commissioner Sullwold to compose the recommendation for review at the work session. Page 2 of 5 | GolfCommission/2006-09-20.pdf |
