FORT COLLINS PARKS AND RECREATION DEPARTMENT
GOLF ADVISORY BOARD
MINUTES: Regular meeting: March 18, 1981
The meeting was called to order at 7:30 P.M. by Chairman Ron Sisson.
Board member Zech and alternate member Bohmont are both out of town. City Park
Nine Pro, Jim Greer, is attending P.G.A. School in Iowa.
The minutes of the meeting of February 18, 1981 were unanimously approved as
presented.
The Board received a resignation letter from Jim Nance due to work and schooling
requirement conflicts. His resignation was accepted, with regrets, and Chairman
Sisson appointed Vice Chairwoman Mosser as Acting Secretary.
Introductions were made of the five visiting Golf Board members from the City of
Longmont; as well as introducing Fort Collins people to them.
The 1980 Annual Report was received and filed.
C.S.U. Golf Team PrODosals
The Board reviewed information received from Carol Ward and Ed Pease, C.S.U. Women's
and Men's Golf Coaches, asking for expense breaks, etc. (This item was continued
from the Board meeting of February 18, 1981). Staff recommended a charge of $300
and 5 cards per team, as well as approval of the 'Scratch & Scramble' tournament
for the Women's Team, to be run like last year's tournament. After discussion,
Tom Skillman moved, seconded by Karen Mosser, to accept the staff recommendation.
Motion passed unanimously.
Pineridge
Jim Mitchell gave an update, including discussions with Jim Bailey of the P.G.A.,
as well as potential public/private funding concepts, similar to those in South
Denver and in Florida. He is expecting some new data soon. There is lots of
hard work ahead, and we may want to schedule a joint meeting with the Parks and
Recreation Advisory Board concerning funding for new recreation facilities and
Pineridge.
Collindale W.G.A. InterCity Tournament
The Board reviewed a written request from Gladys Johnson of the Collindale Women's
Golf Association concerning their proposal for their May 14th InterCity Golf
Tournament with other Northern Colorado Women's Golf Association Clubs. After
discussion, on a motion by Jim Mitchell, seconded by Tom Skillman, the Board
unanimously voted to eliminate "out -of -city" fees for the tournament, as well as
allow Collindale members to play in the tournament using their membership card
rather than paying green fees. (All other golfers to pay normal green fees).
The Board then, on a motion by Karen Mosser, seconded by Carl Kansala, voted 3:2
to authorize a shotgun start at 9:00 A.M.
The Board then stated that any tournament to be held in the future on either
course will require all regular fees, if an event closes the course. The Board
will consider any special requests, if the event falls on a regular ladies' day.
Memberships
There was some discussion on the recent raising of membership fees. City
Attorney, Lucia Liley, suggested to staff that changing the name from
"Membership" to "Annual Pass" or "Yearly Pass" might be appropriate. The
Board will continue to discuss this and all other fee matters, and it was
agreed upon to investigate the following:
1) Fees should be discussed during budget meetings early in the year.
2) Membership dates revert to January lst to December 31st, rather
than April 1st to March 31st.
3) Potentially a limit on the number of uses a membership can have (a
punch card system?) in one year, etc.
Other Business
- Jerry P. Brown told the Board about a County Health Department inspection
made at the Collindale Concession area. There were 22 violations, which we
will take care of in order to open by this Saturday.
- H. R. Phillips told the Board that Earl Wilkinson suggested that the Board
give another report to Council on some new ideas for Pineridge. The Council
may try to help us with financing.
- Jerry told the Board about the Parks Bond issue on the April 7th election;
and passed out monthly financial reports, as well as the Spring Recreation
Program Brochure.
- Karen spoke about potential City Park Nine lunches problems?
- The Board then held a "round table" type discussion with the people from
Longmont, regarding their vs. our method of operations, as well as mutual
concerns. It was a very good discussion period.
The meeting was adjourned at 9:21 P.M.
