L Ctyof Louisville Golf Course Advisory Board Minutes September 15 2014 Page 3 of 7 COLORADO • SINCE 1878 o The rough will be slit seeded and overseeded with rye and bluegrass where necessary o The irrigation installation is not yet complete. All main lines have been installed but work has not yet started on the laterals on holes 1, 2 and 3. A minor problem on the computer control system is being fixed. The booster pump is fully operational. o The bridges are still in fabrication but are due for delivery and installation shortly. It was not possible to complete the fabrication on -site, so a large crane is needed to position the entire bridge structures on holes 6, 10 and 17. This will require some repair work as this is liable to cause damage to the playing surface. Due to the missing bridge, work on the back tee on hole 17 has not started. o Due to a new State regulation regarding recycled water, a valve is being installed to close the pipe that can discharge pond water into the creek. o A minor change has been approved. Instead of the last target area being used as a nursery green, a dedicated nursery green will be built at the back of the driving range. This was proposed by David so that use of the driving range will not be affected when the nursery is being worked on. The nursery green will be increased in area to 5,000 sq. ft. and have a reduced root zone depth of 3 inches. These costs balance out so no overall cost increase is incurred. o The Board suggested that we should start planning for potential uses for the golf course when it is closed for play due to weather in the winter of 2015/2016. David's experience at Vail is very useful in this area and he noted that greens and tees should be roped off. Potential issues for the upcoming winter include more trespassing when LU is not present, potential damage to the new grass by geese etc.. o It was noted that the changes to yardage will require the purchase of new tee markets and the Board discussed the potential for volunteers (such as the Ladies League) to plant flowers to enhance the tee markers. The Board will consider creating a list for other volunteer opportunities. o Staff will get a formal schedule update from Landscapes Unlimited on Wed Sep 17. • Add Alternates: We still plan to lay the water and sewer line to the Restroom by hole 15 but final costing is not yet available. Kevin Norby is working on some concepts for the restroom structure for when we are able to fund that. • Cost is still on target. Payments totaling $3.1M have been made to LU to date. FEMA has approved, at regional level, their contribution of $2.6M for the renovation work plus $325K for the grow -in period. Based on this, we PARKS AND RECREATION DEPARTMENT • 749 MAIN STREET • LOUISVILLE, Co 80027 (303) 335-4735 • FAX (303) 335.4738 www.Iouisvil leco.gov PARKS RECREATION SENIOR SERVICES 4 OPEN SPACE FORESTRY TRAILS GOLF
