CALL TO ORDER:
Chair, J.V. Arredondo called the meeting to order at 6:01 p.m.
II. ROLL CALL OF MEMBERS:
The recording secretary called roll and announced that a quorum was present.
III. DISCUSSION AND POSSIBLE ACTION ON GOLF BUDGET AND IMPLEMENTATION OF THE
NGF IMPROVEMENTS PLAN:
Dan Whitworth presented the Staffs plan to finance the golf courses improvements. Discussion
included current vs. projected revenues and expenditures for both Municipal courses including
the savings from improvements to be completed in-house. Quality control issues were also
addressed. New carts are budgeted to solve that usage and maintenance problem. The
proposed increase of golf fees was discussed in detail. Clarification was given that the purpose
of the fee increase is to supplement revenue so the surcharge funds could be used to make
appropriate improvements. Splitting the Bond 2004 request into two smaller sections was also
considered.
(Due to a prior obligation, Dan Whitworth left at 6:35 p.m. David Ondrias and Chris Semtner
responded to the continued discussion.)
Ray Falcon stated the Greens Committee needs to send a strong message of support for this
proposal to the Council and to request the improvements commence as soon as possible. Ray
Falcon then made a motion to accept the proposal as presented, including the suggested fee
increases, full improvements and to encourage Staff to continue looking for additional funding
sources. Carl Vaughn seconded. The motion unanimously passed.
IX. ADJOURNMENT:
As there was no further agenda business, J.V. Arredondo made a motion to adjourn the meeting
at 7:15 p.m. Ray Falcon seconded. The motion passed.
