GolfCommission | 2011-12-13 | 2 | edged again for the kikuyu grass. They have two more memorial trees to plant on the north course; one going next to Fry # 15 green and the second site is yet to be determined. The sod nursery is ready to have sod put down and it is leveled. A new mechanic has been hired, and has many years of experience. Chair Sullwold asked what plans, if any, there are to improve drainage this winter. Matt stated there is no plan at this time for the sloughs as they do not have the capability. Chair Sullwold also asked if he had any idea what the cost would be to rent the equipment to dredge the sloughs. Matt stated that it is not the right time of year to do this. Moreover, there are permits to be obtained, and he doesn't know the cost of the equipment rental. He also stated that the sloughs are low at this time. Some new drains have been added, but it is not significant. When asked what role Public Works plays in maintaining the sloughs, Matt said its responsibility is solely to make sure the throughways are clear. They come out a couple of times a year to check this, which includes the throughway from the front of Fry # 16 north to the pond adjacent to the maintenance shop, and the one from Harbor Bay Parkway to Clark # 17. Chair Sullwold asked Matt whether, in his opinion, there was an amount of money that would enable the course to weather a winter better than last year in terms of drainage. Matt stated that any amount of money could be beneficial, but he does not have an estimate as to how much per square foot it would cost to dredge a pond. Matt stated that since October, they have been working proactively to clear drains and make sure all of the catch basins are clear. Ed Downing asked if the problem was getting the water out of the sloughs to wherever it drains, or is the problem getting the water off the course into the slough, and Matt responsed that is off the course into the slough. Ed also asked about staked trees that no longer require stakes, and Matt said they were working on removing them. 4-B Golf Shop and Driving Range activities report by John Vest John Vest stated that 93 rounds were played in the Thanksgiving Day shotguns, somewhat below expectations because of threatening weather that morning.
