David B agreed to position an additional (existing) cooler on the driving range. o The Dillon underpass will be completely usable by the time of the re- opening. At present, there is a deep hole next to the cart -path on the south side but LU is filling the void with stones picked from the fairways, taking care to protect the utility lines in that area. Work on fixing the fagade of the bridge is delayed due to the Federal Highway processes with work expected to begin in November. o The range ball dispenser will be moved to the lower level of the clubhouse. It will dispense balls electronically according to 1) a PIN number purchased in the clubhouse 2) a pre -paid card or 3) a regular credit card. This is designed to reduce pro shop workload, improve business controls and accounting and provide ease of use for customers. c. Update on "The Mine" restaurant schedule and plans: The concessionaire continues to work diligently and enthusiastically to be open at the Grand Re- opening. To achieve maximum impact there are no plans for limited activity beforehand. Several issues have come up during inspection of the clubhouse: the floor needs to be sealed in the food prep area, a grease pit needs to be added in the basement, some plumbing issues must be fixed and some access issues must be addressed. Staff have budget to take care of these problems as part of the start -up expenses. The concessionaire is working with the architect to improve the ambiance of the dining area to attract non - golfing usage. The liquor license is fully in place. A food cart will be positioned at the clubhouse to serve golfers after the 9th and 13th holes with more than the usual basic fare but still in a fast -serve manner. The recent rains showed up yet another severe leak in the clubhouse roof. The City Maintenance team is working to correct and it is expected that this will be covered, at least in part, by the warranty from the recent repair. d. Staking for the tree planting along HWY 36 and other areas of the course will be done in the first week of May. e. Joe undertook to schedule the next public meeting and tour of the course for an evening in the first or second weeks of May. The clubhouse will not be open to the public but it was suggested that "The Mine" be invited to provide refreshments on a cash -bar basis in an outside environment. A further sneak - preview was proposed once the golf carts are on site in mid June. f. Mats may be used initially as the range continues to `grow -in' and will be used on the driving range in winter or in wet weather in summer.
