The meeting was called to order at 7:35 p.m. by Vice President Dan

Zubradt both notified us they could not attend the meeting. Alternate
Member Steve Jouard was given voting status and was appointed acting

Agenda Review: No changes to the printed agenda. i
Minutes: The minutes of the last regular meeting of June 24, 1987 were
approved unanimously, as submitted on a motion by John Drescher,
seconded by Tom Skillman.
Citizen Participation:
Jean Haggard, President of the City Park Nine Women's Golf
Association, spoke to the Board. She asked that we allow their
organization to continue with their Lunches next year when the
Clubhouse renovation is completed; that we trim a large tree on the
#5 ladies tee box as it greatly interfers with play; and wanted to
tell the Board that City Park Nine is in beautiful shape.
Cliff Buckley of SouthRidge Greens introduced their new Golf
Professional Kent Heusinkveld. He replaces Bill Zech who resigned
July 31. Kent was Assistant Pro in Loveland for many years and has
worked the last few years for Downs Golf Supply Company of Denver.
Kent plans on attending Golf Board meetings representing SouthRidge.
Board members welcomed him.
John Drescher suggested we also mail an agenda and minutes to the
management of Link-N-Greens Golf Course. Staff agreed.
City Park Nine Projects
Staff previously distributed a report to the Board regarding the status
of the City Park Nine Clubhouse renovation and Maintenance/Golf Car
Storage Building projects. The revised final estimated total cost for
the project is $315,000, which is an increase of $25,000 over the
estimated preliminary costs of $290,000. The new building will now
cost $140,000 rather than $125,000 and the renovation of the Clubhouse
will cost $175,000 instead of $165,000. Many factors contributed to
the 8.6 percent cost increase. For example, the $125,000 figure was a
number provided by Facilities several years ago based solely on the
size of the metal building (40' x 80') and did not include elements
specific to our needs or conditions. Site improvements, new electrical
service and a transformer, new water service, a fire access road, gas
service extension, telephone lines, etc. were the main causes for the
increase. With regards to the Clubhouse renovation, the $10,000
increase was primarily due to additional requirements by the Health

Department in the concession area, additional electrical improvements,
additional air conditioning units, and a security/lighting system.
Consultant Dave Lingle was present to answer questions. He showed the
Board the various plans. If City Council approves all the financing on
September 1, we could actually start the renovation work the last week
of September, pending bids, and expect completion by mid -February.
After much discussion, the Board, on a motion by Irv,1ilson, seconded
by John Drescher voted unanimously to approve the increase in the costs
of projects and recommend approval by City Council.
SouthRidge Surcharge
Staff informed the Board that management will probably be recommending
the implementation of a new surcharge at SouthRidge to help pay for the
construction debt. We will most likely add at least $1.00 to 9-hales
of golf and $2.00 to 18-holes of golf, plus $1.00 for each golf car
rental at SouthRidge only. This surcharge should generate roughly
$100,000 per year, and would be applicable only during the period of
the debt. Mr. Buckley fully agrees with this concept.
1988 Proposed Budget and Financial Statements
Staff previously distributed the 1988 Golf Fund proposed budget and
financial statements. Jerry P. Brown fully reviewed all the documents
and answered questions. There were no objections to the budget as
presented.
1988 Fees and Charges Schedule
Staff previously distributed a report on the proposed 1988 fees and
charges. The structure is exactly what the Board agreed on earlier
this year so there were no objections. After brief discussion, the
Board, on a motion by Tom Skillman, seconded by Iry Wilson, voted
unanimously to approve the proposed 1988 fees and charges schedule as
presented by staff, and recommend adoption by City Council.
September Board Meeting
The Board agreed to hold the annual dinner meeting this year in
September rather than June or July. Staff suggested we meet in
September at Link-N-Greens Golf Course and inspect their facilities,
including playing 9-holes of golf. We then can adjourn to the Charco
Broiler Restaurant for dinner. Board members unanimously agreed.
Other Business
Neil Johnson updated the Board on the status of the potential water
shortage due to the drainage of Warren Lake and our options. He
