Mr. Logan stated that they are about 90 days behind schedule, due some to the dirt import, as the dirt has to go through a screening process. Some nests have been located near hole 7, which stopped construction within 150 feet of the nests, but, hopefully by next week, they will be given the okay to proceed. The storm drainage is complete through seven holes. The anticipated plan is to be through hole no. 14 by the end of the year, which leaves 4 holes left into next year, weather dependent. Cart paths and irrigation will begin within the next two weeks, and will hopefully be completed by October. Mr. Logan stated that a survey was required, which he presented to the golf commission, and will be emailed to golfers for feedback. The kikiyu overplanting is improving the condition of the North Course. Ron Carlson entered at this time.

AGENDA ITEMS 5-A Presentation on Jim's on the Course Proposal Tom Geanekos stated that their restaurant in Alameda has been opened since 1960 and has been at the golf course since 2006. Revenues at that time were around $580,000 per year, and last year, revenues were $1.5 million, with limited resources. Mr. Geanekos stated that he is looking for the golf commission's approval along with their trust, and this expansion will compliment the construction project of Greenway's. Due to the age of the building, it is economically impossible to tear down the old building and construct a new one. He stated that these improvements hopefully will attract new customers and golfers to play the new S… | GolfCommission/2015-07-14.pdf |
GolfCommission/2015-07-14.pdf,3 | GolfCommission | 2015-07-14 | 3 | Mr. Geanekos stated that they have been making improvements, which includes both the restrooms, and several items in the kitchen, which include the fire system and the exhaust system. Griddles, deep fryers, ranges and freezers have been replaced and updated. In the snack area, new refrigeration has been installed. In the dining room, chairs and bar stools have been replaced. More work needs to be done in the kitchen, which includes new electrical and plumbing, and a banquet prep area. In the main dining room, flooring will be replaced along with new tables. In the bar area, televisions will be replaced, and tables and chairs will be replaced outside the bar area. At this time, Mr. Geanekos walked through the plans for the improvements, which was attached to the agenda. Amy Wooldridge stated that from the City's perspective, as they have been working together on this for quite some time, with this proposal, they've met with Greenway and both Greenway and the City have given their stamp of approval. She stated that Jim's lease with the City is up December 2015, so they are in active negotiations at this time. The goal is to have that lease to the City Council by November 2015. The lease will include a third party lease between Greenway and Jim's on the Course. All the on course food and beverage will remain with Jim's, but Greenway will be working with Tom on training staff to make sure that all services and staff are on par with the golfer's needs. Vice-Chair Blatt asked about tournaments with awards presentations that need to be held indoors, would the site lines and audio be sufficient, and Mr. Geanekos stated that they are looking to solve this issue. Bob Wood asked Amy Wooldridge if the City had put their stamp of approval on the lease parameters, and she responded that they are still negotiating the lease parameters, but the City has put their stamp of approval on the concept of the exterior enclosed patio, as a way to serve the golf tournaments and expand seating at the same time. Mr. Wood then asked about t… | GolfCommission/2015-07-14.pdf |

Vice-Chair Blatt asked that what they are asking of the Golf Commission at this time is to approve the concept of a patio enclosure to accommodate more seating for the city to move forward with the lease negotiations. Ms. Wooldridge agreed, and stated that this is quite different than the previous concepts of a banquet facility. Norma Arnerich stated that she feels that the golf commission should move forward with their approval of the concept, and trusts that the City's departments will do their due diligence Vice-Chair Bev Blatt made a motion that the golf commission approve going forward with further study to this concept of an enclosed patio to facilitate lease negotiations and planning that is subject to conformance of all building codes and requirements of the City.
