GolfCommission | 2010-11-17 | 2 | and Park Fund [budget], which I thought was only appropriate. One of the arguments I made to City Council was that we've been getting regular reports from Matt about the trees here at the Golf Complex, and what other trees might be better and what research we've been doing as to which trees should be replaced, and so I reported that to Council, I said that I'm not sure this is even really necessary. Do you know, John, if we have a master map of trees on the Golf Complex?" John Vest stated: "We found one book that was updated in 1996, that Matt came across, that's the only book that I've seen. I looked through a ton of maps in there. It was obviously a while ago, but it doesn't seem that detailed. We're still digging around for more of that stuff." Chair Sullwold asked, "Is Matt creating some of this stuff on his own?" Norma Arnerich stated: "I can't remember the year, but they had a company come out, and actually put a mark on each tree, and each tree had a number." Chair Sullwold stated: "But it does seem to me that, I don't know, the words that kept coming up from Ann Marie, "well, we're going to have to do this eventually.' And I kept thinking, well, I'm not really sure we're going to have to do this eventually, and I certainly don't think we should start from scratch. They finally decided this company is going to do it, it's just not going to come out of the Golf Enterprise Fund. And they took down my name and number to talk to me about it, and obviously whatever book we have we should be able to give them so that they don't have to reinvent the wheel on this." Norma Arnerich: "I would say that the superintendent knows a lot about what trees should be planted out here, and I certainly feel that whatever study is done, he should be consulted. I've talked to him many times, and he seems to know pretty well what would work out here and what won't." Chair Sullwold: "Which is exactly how the mission was described for this consultant that they wanted to pay the $8,000 for, so I didn't quite understand it." John Vest: "It was a study of what trees would work out here." Chair Sullwold: "Survey all the trees and do some sort of map and do a study as to what trees ought to be planted to replace those that are here that are more tolerant of recycled water, and then this extremely badly phrased item about the sloughs, that didn't make any logical sense to me. The guy was very nice, I met him after the meeting, but nevertheless, I managed to convince them not to charge us for that." 4 ORAL REPORTS 4-A Golf Complex Maintenance activities report by John Vest John Vest said that the recent storm last month caused many tree branches to fall, so Kemper is having a tree crew come out on the 29th to remove three dead pine trees, and to clean up the loose branches. Jason, the new maintenance mechanic has serviced all the equipment and has found ways to rebuild old equipment with parts sitting around. A couple of memorial trees have been replanted. Matt is going to aerify all 36 holes with a small tine; he is not going to do a big aerification until possibly springtime. - 2 - Golf Commission Minutes - Wednesday, November 17, 2010 | GolfCommission/2010-11-17.pdf |
