11: City Um Louisville COLORADO • SINCE 1878 COAL CREEK GOLF COURSE GOLF COURSE RECOVERY PROJECT UPDATE November 15, 2014 • All 18 greens have been seeded with bent grass. Every green except #1 and #2 has been mowed. Fourteen of 18 greens have turf covers. Holes #16, 17, 14 and 18 are not currently covered but have hardened -off and are in very good condition. • All 3 bridges destroyed by the flood have been replaced. Approaches to the bridge and finish work has not been completed. • #14 fairway is prepped but not yet seeded and 20% of the punch bowl green still needs seeding. • Four sand traps need drainage pipes connected and minor finish work as does the practice chipping area and drainage pipe on holes #3, 4 and 5. • Work on the Dillon Road underpass has not been completed and will need further coordination with the Federal Highway Administration. • Trees will be planted in spring 2015 including 38 trees on the berm between hole #16 and US Highway 36. The cost of the 38 trees and the berm is funded by CDOT. • Landscapes Unlimited (LU) is currently under contract, with the City, to maintain the golf course during the grow -in period and continues to coordinate work with City Parks and Recreation Department staff. David Dean has been selected as the new Golf Course Superintendent and is working alongside LU as we transition from grow -in to maintenance and re- opening. • City staff will be making a recommendation to City Council in December 2014 on awarding a contract for a Food & Beverage Concessionaire beginning spring 2015. • As construction winds down, it is really important for the public to stay off the golf course for personal safety, to avoid damage to the new turf, and to give us every opportunity to promote grow -in and a grand re- opening in spring 2015. • The City anticipates hiring a Head Golf Professional and a Marketing and Promotions Coordinator in the first quarter of 2015. 1 6
