Citvot Louisville Golf Course Advisory Board Minutes July 18, 2016 Page 2 of 4 COLORADO • SINCE 1878 run quite successfully, especially after only one (1) year after the re -opening. These tournaments include the 2nd Annual Louisville Chamber of Commerce Spaghetti Open (which was held in July) & 2nd Couples Scramble over the past weekend, which had 64 participants and they are planning to have more tournaments. For example, there are upcoming tournaments for Monarch High, Peerless Tire, Border Wars, Rally for the Cure and the 1st Louisville Open sponsored by Louisville Realty Associates (August 12). Financial Update: per the net position, we are in a good position. Capital improvements ($298K) represent the maintenance barn and more and $251K accounts for paving and chemical storage and possibly a pole barn (per David Dean). Joe Stevens discussed the staff's intent to present construction plans in front of the Board of Adjustment in order to obtain a PUD variance. Joe expressed issues with the flood maps not being accurate (re -drawn since the floods). Dennis Maloney suggested that the new maps may not be approved yet. David Deane reported that we lost another decoder and Rainbird is adding more power to the LDI to address this. Still monitoring. Water is on the left side of Hole #1 and they are addressing the drainage but otherwise the irrigation system seems to work well but the drains need a line added. Ken asked if there are leaks on the lines but David Dean reported 120 PSI holding steady (which is very robust) and functions well. David Deane reported on the 4th of July fireworks event. There was lots of clean up and while there were few issues to report, there was a low flying mortar (un -used firework) which exploded under a lawn mower one of the staff was riding at the time, but no one was injured. No incidents reported by the police department. Cory asked if the number of visitors was lower this year, and Joe confirmed while they don't have a concrete means of tracking numbers, there did seem to be fewer people in attendance probably because the holiday was a 3 day weekend this year. Perry asked about the neighbors living on the course with regards to the complaint of vegetation and David Dean said that nothing other than the neighbor on Hole #1, which was already discussed previously. Joe explained there were a few complaints near the 15th Hole regarding a request for the City to mow, but it turns out this area is not golf course but rather it is Open Space (known as Avista Open Space) and once Joe explained this to the 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
