Golf Course Advisory Board Minutes <br />May 20 2013 <br />Page 2 of 4 <br />maintenance with turf rolled down into the bunkers and minimal vertical <br />sand flashing. The bunkers will be contoured to allow easy access on the <br />side away from the hole and a steeper face towards the hole. Western <br />Golf reminded the Board that the work planned for September/October <br />will coincide with a busy playing schedule if weather permits and revenue <br />may be affected due to the use of temporary greens and extensive ground <br />under repair. WGP accepts that budget constraints force the project to <br />proceed in annual stages but asked that work in 2014 be expedited as <br />much as possible to minimize future disruption of play. Joe Stevens will <br />work with WGP on the revenue problem. Phelps will provide Joe with the <br />presentation on the bunker project for display at the June 7 Open House. <br />The Board approved in principle the use of sod as an alternative base <br />liner. Phelps will provide WGP with contacts on courses in the Pacific <br />Northwest so WGP can confirm bunker maintainability with this technique. <br />b. Work on the Clubhouse was completed on schedule despite the multiple <br />change orders. With the additional work, costs went over budget and will <br />be presented to council for approval of the over-run. The Board <br />commended Allan Gill and the Clubhouse Staff for making this happen <br />and working through the disruption. The Punch List is now complete <br />including fixing the cart path drain. The Men’s Club will provide a new <br />desk for the handicapping computer and will provide a picture to WGP so <br />that its location can be finalized. The Ladies League requests that the <br />League Corkboard be re-hung in the Ladies Restroom. The booster <br />pump by the 18th green has been tested satisfactorily with some minor <br />issues to be resolved by Rainbird: a software upgrade is needed to <br />coordinate the operation of the booster pump with the main pump and <br />cooling of the electronics in the pump house will be improved. <br />c. The Open House is confirmed for 6:00 to 7:30pm on June 7. This will <br />include course tours on the new golf carts. <br />d. So far, 10 of the 80 new trees have died and will be removed and replaced <br />by Chris Lichty. This is a typical failure rate for Colorado. More trees may <br />be found to be dying once the deciduous trees start to leaf. Tom Deany <br />suggested that a tree be planted to obscure the 5th green from the 4th <br />fairway to avoid confusing 1st time golfers. <br />e. Action Items from April 15 Meeting: all closed except for two: <br /> Do we need a Building Code Safety Audit of the Maintenance Shed? <br />Action: Joe Outstanding from April Meeting <br /> Organize the comparative inspection of other courses as soon as <br />snow melts. Action: Joe Outstanding from April Meeting <br /> <br />Item V. WGP Update <br />a. Clubhouse Progress: The new furniture should be delivered and put in <br />place by May 31. All railings will be painted in taupe and the back deck <br />will be epoxy painted. <br />b. The board commented that despite the recent rains, last year’s <br />maintenance on the drains was proving successful. WGP was <br />4
