Agenda Review: No changes to the printed agenda. Minutes: The minutes of the last regular meeting of November 19, 1986, were approved unanimously, as submitted. Citizen Participation: No citizen participation. Election of Officers for 1987 As per Board By-laws, election of officers occurs at the January regular meeting. President Dick Zubradt was unanimously re-elected Board President for 1987. Secretary Dan Preble was unanimously elected Vice President. Roger Sample was unanimously elected Board Secretary. Collindale Snack Bar Concession Agreement Staff previously provided Board members with a written report and recommendation from the Collindale Snack Bar Concession Review Committee. The Committee, composed of Golf Board members Dan Preble and John Drescher, Collindale Women's Golf Association Representative Mary Pagel, Collindale Men's Golf Association President Jeff Boulter, Opal Dick from the Purchasing and Risk Management Office, and Jerry P. Brown from staff, unanimously recommended that the agreement for the Snack Bar Concession at Collindale be awarded to Derek Cordova for 1987 and an option for 1988. Derek has been the contracted concessionaire since 1983, winning the bids every two years. He will continue to pay the Golf Fund 18 percent of gross sales, or a guaranteed annual minimum of $10,000, whichever is greater. The Committee also recommended that the Golf Board and staff strongly support Derek in his monitoring of illegal beer or alcoholic beverages on the Golf Course, and authorize him to make sure the liquor laws are fully enforced. After some brief discussion, the Board voted unanimously (7:0) to recommend to the Purchasing Office, Director of Parks and Recreation, and eventually to the City Manager, that the agreement with Derek Cordova as Collindale Snack Bar Concessionaire for 1987 and 1988 be approved. The motion was made by Iry Wilson, seconded by John Drescher. Reserved Tee Time Equitability Discussion Jerry P. Brown discussed the history of this item. A citizen has complained that he cannot get reserved tee times for his private tournament prior to 11:00 a.m. on Saturdays, and he does not feel it is r Golf Board Minutes January 21, 1987 Page Two fair that the Collindale Men's Golf Association does get 8:00 a.m. Saturday tee times for their tournaments. Essentially, the CMGA has six to eight (6-8) tournaments per year that start at 8:00 a.m. They have roughly 30 to 60 golfers per event, which puts them all off the tee between 9:30 to 10:00 a.m. Also to note, the Collindale Women's Golf Association Reserves Thursday mornings each week during the season for Ladies Day as well. No other regular group has any guaranteed tee times. Jerry reviewed the pros and cons of the existing policy and raised the question of equitability. The Martinez and Elks Tournaments were also discussed. Jeff Boulter, President of the Collindale Men's Golf Association, addressed the issue. He said that in return for the special tee times, the CMGA has provided special services and projects to Collindale, including painting of the clubhouse interior, finishing the waxed snack bar floor, bought and paid for championship plaques on the walls of the clubhouse, repainted course shelters, original purchase of clubhouse furniture, built and paid for the practice green, etc. The CMGA also hosts two to three banquets per year providing revenue to the concessionaire and City, not to mention breakfasts/lunches on Saturdays and support of the Golf Pro Shop. The CMGA administers the Collindale handicap system for all men golfers, and the organization is open to all men golfers. In 1987 the CMGA plans to measure and mark all holes with 150 to 200 yard markers. Essentially, the Men's Association is more than a one-time tournament. Board members discussed this issue thoroughly. There was support for both viewpoints, but it was agreed upon that at this time the Collindale Men's and Women's Golf Associations should continue to receive this special privilege and that no other private or commercial tournament be granted special tee times in violation of existing tournament policies. Jeff brought up a proposal for some reserved tee times in the evenings for league play for the CMGA. Jerry P. Brown vehemently opposed the idea stating it would provide an exclusive privilege for only a few golfers at the expense of all other golfers during a prime time of the day. Currently all golfers have an equal opportunity to reserve tee times. We don't need a country club atmosphere, and staff will not even consider it. This is not the same as tournaments which are open to everyone. Other Business Jerry received the December Revenue and expenditure reports today. We ended 1986 with 115 percent revenues and around 95 percent expenditures. We set all-time records in virtually every revenue and play category in 1986. Golf Board Minutes January 21, 1987 Page Three - Staff will prepare an annual report for the Board and try to have it ready for the February meeting. - Jerry stated we ended 1986 with enough funds to probably purchase outright the new golf cars for Collindale for 1987 rather than lease/purchase them as we originally budgeted. There were no objections from Board members to proceed with a cash purchase, if appropriate. - Dick Zubradt said the high school golf season starts with their first match on August 17. The meeting was adjourned at 8:43 p.m. Respectfully submitted, Dan Preble, Board Secretary Meeting Attendance Board Members Staff Guests Dick Zubradt Jerry P.
