All Board members were present. Agenda Review: No changes to the printed agenda. Minutes: The minutes of the Regular meeting of May 20, 1987 were approved unanimously as submitted on a motion by John Drescher, seconded by Iry Wilson. Citizen Participation: No citizen participation. City Park Nine Project Jerry P. Brown updated the Board on the status of the project. Mick Aller and Dave Lingle of Aller-Lingle Architects discussed details of the project. The Board unanimously approved four specific items as follows: 1) Exposed ceiling; 2) Salvage existing wooden paneling and reinstall as a wainscot; 3) Color scheme and the match of colors for both buildings; 4) Redevelop patio as an alternate to the base bid, finishing with golf cleat concrete surface. Jerry commended Aller-Lingle for their extra efforts thus far on this project. Junior Golf Concerns At the last meeting, Dan Preble raised several questions regarding our Junior Golf program as well as scheduling for Junior High School Golf. Dan met with Bill Metier to discuss the issues. Dan wants to maintain three tee times after team cuts. Bill would like to require all kids to attend one free clinic that he would provide on rules and etiquette. All Board members agree that only one Junior High School per day should practice at any one golf course. Bill and Dan will provide a written recommendation to the Board at a later date. Jerry said the high schools want to play their matches on Saturdays rather than Thursdays. This means we charge them $2.00 per player or $10 per team, whichever is greater. He would like to discourage them from Saturday play and raise the fees to 50 percent of established green fees. Dick Zubradt noted that the schools don't want to take kids out of school on Thursdays for golf and if we charged more on Saturday they would still have to play any way. After much discussion, it was agreed to let the high schools golf on Saturday afternoons this fall to see if there are any conflicts and keep the currently established fees. Jerry will meet with Poudre R-1 Athletic Director Ron McClary to discuss the situation. Golf Board Minutes June 24, 1987 Page Two Collindale Men's Golf Association Request At the last meeting, the Collindale Men's golf Association again requested reconsideration to allow them guaranteed tee times for Tuesday and Wednesday evening leagues. Staff has been clearly opposed to this request. The Board asked staff to meet with the CMGA to discuss potential options. Jerry met with CMGA President Jeff Boulter and they developed a statement. The statement was distributed to Board members tonight. Staff remains opposed to any special privilege for the CMGA, and suggested they pay normal tournament rates if they want to reserve the course. Jeff basically thinks that the men's group should maintain the current method of 'first come, first serve' which he feels has been 95 percent successful. July Board Meeting Jerry asked Board members if they would like to have their annual dinner meeting next month at EPIC in conjunction with the Parks and Recreation Board. There was no positive responses to this suggestion. The Board instead decided to have dinner at a local restaurant. Staff will check out the options. Committee Appointments President Zubradt wants to create a Collindale beautification and enhancement committee made up of women's and men's association golfers, Board members and staff. Dan Preble will head up the committee. Other Business - Jerry informed the Board that Horsetooth Road adjacent to Collindale will be completed this summer. There will be no sidewalk on the golf course. We will coordinate this project with our Collindale parking lot resurfacing project. - Jerry distributed examples of scorecards by Sports Score Company of Oregon. They want to provide us a one-year supply free of charge. They sell the advertising. Jerry wants to try this company as an experiment. There were no objections. - Neil Johnson discussed the rye grass experiment and Bill Metier mentioned the goose relocation program. - Dave Sadler has been honored by the Golf Course Superintendents Association of America as a Certified Golf Course Superintendent. He had to work very hard to achieve this title.
