GolfCommission | 2011-02-23 | 4 | Chair Sullwold asked: "Do you know if Public Works is supposed to do this for us, or do we get charged if they come out and do this? I've never quite understood what the Public Works Slough Runoff project budget item is all about." Dale Lillard: "They maintain and they control the perimeter and the water that goes out of five.' Matt Wisely: "They maintain the pumping system on the pond on five. Everything else is us." Chair Sullwold: "And that's the main collection pond for the drainage?' Matt Wisely: "And they have full control over that, so when I call them, they come out and drain it.' Matt Wisely: "We're continuing our in-house tree trimming and skirting. We finished the tee project on 13; it should be ready and open by the end of the first week in March. Right now we're training the grass down to get it to tee height. We took some of that sod that we took off the tee and filled the bunker on five fairway south, so now it's a grass bunker in the fairway. We also repaired some portions of two fairway on the north with some excess sod where grass was not growing. No major trees have come down except the one left of 18 north. Future maintenance activies will include semi-annual aerification of greens on the north on March 15th and 16th As far as staff, we lost our mechanic. He had a friend that was also a mechanic, so we hired him for less than we were paying him. We had them both on property for two weeks, so Jason could train Matt on reels and things like that. Matt stepped right in and is continuing to keep us going on equipment." Chair Sullwold: "Tell me about the decision the build the new tee on 13, because it came as a real surprise to everybody that all of a sudden you were building a new tee. Why was that picked and what was the reason for it?" Matt Wisely: "We chose 13 tee because initially it's an area that's always been settling. There was a bare area right in the middle of it where we tried to grow grass, but couldn't. We had a couple of weeks in January when the weather was nice and we had an opportunity to go out there and level it off. That's all we were planning on doing. It evolved into making it bigger so we could get more tee space out of it and made the tee longer. It was something John and I had discussed. We were actually going to sod some portions of four tee on the north in the back that does not like to grow. We've been fertilizing it and it's started to come back. So, we decided to move to do something else that was a highly visible area and it was something that really needed to get done. Chair Sullwold: "Do you know how much it cost?" Matt Wisely: "It cost the price of the sod which was $2,300 and it was all done in house." Matt Wisely: "We had a 120 new batteries delivered to start putting in the carts. I'm not sure if EZ-Go is going to install them or if we are going to do them" 4-B Beautification Program and Junior Golf Club by Mrs. Norma Arnerich Norma Arnerich: "I noticed two new benches out on the course and I understand they were pretty inexpensive and we had decided that all new benches would be uniform for people to donate. Do those last very long?" Matt Wisely: "I wasn't 4 off Commission Minutes - -Wednesday, February 23, 2011 | GolfCommission/2011-02-23.pdf |
