GolfCommission | 2006-10-18 | 2 | The Nominations for Golf Commission Board positions for 2007 were approved by the Golf Commission unanimously. 3-B Approval of Junior Golf Tees. (Action Item) The General Manager stated that during a conversation with Mrs. Arnerich, the idea of placing new tee blocks on the 18-hole courses for the junior golfers was mentioned. The San Ramon Golf Club has such tees and they are a success. The tees are placed in the fairway approximately 100 yards from the green for the par 3 holes, 150 yards from the green for par 4 holes and 200 yards from the green for par 5 holes. The Junior Tees work well to acclimate the juniors to the championship course from the par 3 course and helps with the pace of play. The General Manager suggested the Junior Tees be placed on the Jack Clark Course for a trial period and a final decision be made at a later date. The Golf Commission decided to call the tees the Family Tees. The Commission approved placing the Family Tees on the Jack Clark Course for a trial period unanimously. 3-C Discussion on Special Joint Meeting with Alameda City Council. Chair Gammell stated that at the last work session it was decided a meeting would be scheduled between the City of Alameda's Chief Financial Officer, the General Manager and Commissioner Schmitz to discuss the joint meeting. The meeting will be held on Tuesday, October 24, 2006. The General Manager stated that the main concern at the work session focused on the affordability of the clubhouse project. Commissioner Schmitz and Commissioner Sullwold are going to compose a statement to be read at the Joint Meeting generally recommending that the revenues earned at the Chuck Corica Golf Complex should be reinvested into the Complex for repairs and upgrades. Also mentioned was the need for another work session to discuss a priority list of facility improvements. The next work session will be held on Wednesday, November 1, 2006 at 3:00 PM. Also at the last work session the Golf Commission directed the General Manager to research the purchase of a temporary tent structure to serve as a banquet facility for the 2007 golf season. Vice Chair Wood has been looking at structures made by Creative Tent International a company from Arizona. It has been determined that a structure 40 ft by 80 ft with the lowest point being 8 ft, would accommodate 200 people at a sit down dining event. The General Manager handed out a drawing of the structure and maps showing the different areas of the Complex where the structure could be placed. The cost is approximately $30,000, which does not include the site preparation. The structure has the ability to be equipped with a Heating, Ventilation and Air Conditioning (HVAC) System for an additional cost. A structure of this size would need a 12 ton system and would run around $15,000 if purchased through Creative Tent International. It was mentioned that an HVAC system might not be necessary in Alameda due to the climate, although it would allow for winter functions if there were heating. The General Manager mentioned that the Chardonnay Golf Club in Napa has a similar structure and he would like to go and take a look at it in the near future. The structure can be made out of different qualities of surface, with the highest quality providing the most durability and there is a pleated interior liner that can be purchased to hide the inside structure beams. The structures with more openings all the way around are more attractive. Commissioner Wood proceeded to review the structure location Page 2 of 5 | GolfCommission/2006-10-18.pdf |
