They really padded it, in my opinion, and in the opinion of Leon McNair of Wadsworth. He thinks it's outrageously high. To the extent that there's a contract entered into that may be revisited, and if they stick to their guns and refuse to provide their services for anything less than what they've offered, we have other irons in the fire. Other companies are interested. Is that what you needed to know?" Bob Sullwold stated: "Let me add to that. I think this Executive Director thing -- Jane stood up to do that because there was some concern expressed, the question you raised legitimately, who's going to be the point person in charge and so she stood up to do that. But I think that if she got somebody, look at retired people who have business experience, who would be equally well qualified to take on such a role." Chair Sullwold stated: "I was volunteering not because I want the job, but because I just think they need to hear we have people ready, willing and able to step up and do it, and I am ready, willing and able.

Bob Sullwold stated: "In terms of the November rounds and revenue, they're down and as to profitability, the Kemper numbers, the more reliable numbers, in my opinion, show that for the first four months of our fiscal, the net profit for operation from Kemper was $457,185 It would be nice if Kemper numbers could be reconciled with the numbers provided by the City finance department, and on such things as revenue, just the total amount of greens fees, the Kemper numbers and City numbers don't match, but Kemper says they made $457,000. What we were handed tonight -- I always look at the number with the asterisk -- cash balance at the end of November was $727,000. 6. ORAL COMMUNICATIONS, NON-AGENDA (Public Comment) Bob Sullwold stated: "It has come to attention that there are some who apparently believe that Joe and Tony and Jane are in this Mif thing for their own gain, that they - 7- - Golf Commission Minutes - Wednesday, December 15, 2010 | GolfCommission/2010-12-15.pdf |
