In short, got drunk and stupid on my 23rd birthday.Spent night jn 'ail and paid $50 fine for public intoxication. One of those stupid college things... Are you presently serving on a City board or commission? ❑ Yes XNo If so, which one? Why do you want to become a member of this particular board or commission? I learned how to golf when I was _10 years old. So for the past 25+ years I have maintained an interest in and passion for golf. I also have a strong sense of community and eniov contributing my time and talents where they may be useful By serving on the golf board, I hope to (1) help fill a need and (2) contribute to the city's greater good. Briefly explain what you believe are the three most important issues facing this board or commission, and how do you believe this board or commission should address each issue? 1) Water conservation. We live in a semi-arid desert. Balancing the rational use of water against economic factors (e.a., bringing in revenue from golf versus agriculture) is a controversial issue I'm not sure I have all the answers as to how water should be used or allocated for city golf courses. but I'd like to be a part of those discussions. And. I believe the board should be fully aware of the economic research beino done in this area. be aware of the communities priorities and concerns, and lend a thoughtful ear to people who do not nerescary si mnnrt the hnard'c ngpnda 2) Competitive pricing. Golf is getting to be a reasonably expensive hobby. Given the demand for oolf in the area this would tend to indicate that the city could continue to raise golf-related fees until demand dwindled. As a public good and service. however, the board needs to balance the line between usino golf as a revenue-grating function (for the city) versus a cost-recovering civic good Balancing the budget forecasting for the future. and also assessing the current economic climate are all things the board should do to serve its rnnstih ipn qy 3) _ Customer Service. Patrons of the city courses want a pleasant and memorable Golf experience Consumers can spend their money manly places and I do not believe they should frequent the city courses j�ct because the green fees are c_liahtly cheaper than private courses. Keeping the customer in mind is something that needs to be done at both the course level and the board level Beino empathetic considerate and proactive towards UnIfars (and their"needs") makes gond ;AnSp for the.
