I U Cityof Louisville Golf Course Advisory Board Minutes March 18, 2015 Page 6 of 7 COLORADO • SINCE 1878 are updated frequently. He was eager to share any information with the community; however, he also stated that if the City's new website and other marketing efforts are well done, we may not need to use the "Friends of Coal Creek" Facebook page in the future. Ken reminded everyone that the Facebook page was initiated with the administrator oversight by a City employee (IT) and was needed since Western Golf was doing a poor job of communications with the Louisville community. • It was determined that no action was required at this time. 7. Board Recommendations of Needed Capital Improvements (2016 - 2020) • Joe Stevens stated that 90% of what was contained in the Golf Course Improvement Plan presented by the GCAB in 2011/12 has been accomplished in the recent rebuilding efforts. • Lisa Norgard asked if golf carts will be allowed in the parking lots; David Baril suggested that that it was his intention to allow the carts in the parking lot, but this was pending a response from the insurance company. Ken pointed out that many golf course in the surrounding area allow carts in the parking lots like Indian Peaks, Heritage Westmoor, Buffalo Run, Ute Creek, etc. and that we should find out who carries their insurance and what kind of `riders' they have if any. • Perry Nelson and Lisa Norgard inquired about upgrades to the club house such as painting; Joe Stevens talked about how the lack of or deferred maintenance on the club house by Western and a lot of the budget that had been set aside in the past went to the ADA improvements that were required; David Baril stated that he plans on getting a quote for painting. He talked about researching a kind of "faux wood" paint job to match the mining theme throughout the course. • David Dean talked about eventual capital improvements in the maintenance facility to the 1) chemical storage and 2) covered storage for the new course mowing equipment as the maintenance building is not large enough to hold all the new equipment. Cory Nickerson asked if the chemical storage was ventilated and up to code and David affirmed it was and that some of the codes were grandfathered. Joe Stevens pointed out that for longer term chemical storage needs, the golf course could use the new facility building that is currently under construction on Dillon road at the Colorado Technology Center. . • Lisa Norgard asked if the course needed new cart paths and Ken Gambon added that there were several areas that had `informal' dirt paths and maintenance roads on hole 7 behind the back tee, 12 green to 13 tee, between the Himalaya green and the creek and also on the dirt road out of the maintenance yard to the 18th hole.
