Golf Course Advisory Board Minutes February 9 2015 Page 3 of 4 Parks and Recreation Department · 749 Main Street · Louisville, CO 80027 (303) 335-4735 · FAX (303) 335-4738 www.louisvilleco.gov Parks Recreation Senior Services Open Space Forestry Trails Golf equipment will be using during the grow-in period to avoid damage due to rocks etc. and the City-owned equipment is expected to be delivered in May/June. Further equipment can be got on loan from L.L Johnson if needed. o A favorable deal has been negotiated on golf carts from EASY-GO on a five- year lease. These will use brushless AC motors that are 15% more energy efficient and will have longer life. These carts will recharge their batteries when coasting or going downhill. There is a 4 year warranty on the carts which covers a battery check and free replacement, if required, at the end of the warranty period. The carts will be customized for Coal Creek with decals and fitted with coolers and sand bottles. They will include a GPS system at no cost to the city, being paid for by advertisements. The GPS will be able to track carts for pace of play but will not prevent carts being driven into restricted areas. Food can be ordered using the GPS. The contract for the cart lease will be submitted for signature in March for delivery in late May, early June. o Bicycle carts are still under consideration although the hill on holes 15 and 16 may make them unrealistic. o David B will work on clubhouse inventory with expected stocking date of June. o Geese remain a problem. The painted barrels, supposed to scare the geese, are ineffective. A robotic “goosinator” ground-based drone has been used from time to time, along with David’s dog, to scare away the geese. o So far, FEMA has reimbursed the City $1.4M, around 70% of the expected reimbursement. A new contact has been designated by FEMA. He lives locally and has suggested that additional FEMA funding may be considered to cover some of the remaining replacement irrigation controllers. o The Board noted that work on the Dillon underpass bridge is scheduled for May/June. Public Works will coordinate this to avoid interruption of golf course work. o The two air conditioners on the clubhouse roof are failing and it is planned to replace them with a single central unit. It was pointed out that Boulder Metal (owners are Men’s Club members) had taken care of the units in the past and may be able to repair them at significantly less cost. o A computer is planned for the basement to enter inventory numbers and track maintenance on the golf carts. The clubhouse will be linked to the City Fiber network. o The floors in the maintenance facility will be redone. o There was a brief discussion of volunteer opportunities. This will be discussed again at the next Board Meeting.
