David Baril has met with the following groups so far: - Food and Beverage Concessionaire — has spoken with Sarah Jarman and her partner, Isaac, regarding the seating layout, for example. They have a standing meeting every week to go over goals. - Course Superintendent — has met with David Dean several times to review the status of the course and will continue to work closely with him - Men's League and Women's League Presidents and members • Ken Gambon emphasized that David Baril should use the advisory board however he needs to — we are all eager to achieve success together • David Baril also stated that with regards to marketing efforts, he was eager to craft a communications piece so that the area golfers know what is going on; Ken Gambon reminded everyone that the communication to the non - golfers was very important as well. • Ken Gambon asked about the timing of the programs that David Baril may want to put in place; David stated that his first priority was to lock down pricing but he has already signed up the course for the Colorado Junior Golf Association (CJGA) and anticipates a junior golf program at Coal Creek. • Lisa Norgard and Cory Nickerson offered to help get information into Louisville elementary to high schools' children's hands from. Lisa noted that BVSD's last day of school is May 29th, so any information must get to the students the week before, ideally May 22nd. David said he expects to have pricing and programs ready for distribution by the end of April or beginning of May. • Joe Stevens reminded the board about the outstanding liability in the form of golfer "credits" which amount to approximately about $43,000. This represents rounds of golf, gift cards and /or merchandise credit which were not consumed prior to the floods. Credits purchased at the Coal Creek Clubhouse during Western Golf's management period will be redeemable after the course reopens and will be set to expire on the (third) anniversary of its original purchase date. For example, credits originally purchased on March 1, 2013 will expire on March 1, 2016 after the course re- opens, allowing consumers to come in and redeem their credits. • Perry Nelson asked about competitive pricing and if David Baril and Joe Stevens were looking at the current pricing of nearby courses, such as Indian Peaks. Perry stated he has heard from his community that there is a desire to have special pricing for ladies and seniors, for example. David Baril stated that it will be a little while before they can see where the real demand is for that kind of pricing., We will, however, have dynamic pricing, which will serve some of this demand. Dynamic pricing will be variable pricing based on PARKS AND RECREATION DEPARTMENT • 749 MAIN STREET • LOUISVILLE, CO 80027 (303) 335 -4735 • FAX (303) 335 -4738 www.Iouisvilleco.gov PARKS RECREATION SENIOR SERVICES OPEN SPACE FORESTRY TRAILS GOLF
