Golf Course Advisory Board Minutes October 17 2016 Page 4 of 5 I ` Cityoj Louisville COLORADO - SINCE 1878 fund balance to cover the big-ticket items at some point in the future or a loan or bond be taken out to cover them. Joe commented that our current fee schedule puts us at the upper end of pricing compared to surrounding courses so there was no plan to increase fees to 2017. Weekends are well -booked so revenue growth needs to come from better filling weekday tee -times. The Board welcomed the existence of the Monthly Dashboard and commented that some work would be needed to make it a useful set of measurements. b) GCAB/Staff Sub -Committee Strategy Development Plans/Schedule: Perry updated the Board on the work of the Strategy sub -Committee. The team is happy with the Vision and Mission Statements and is now focusing on a growth scenario rather than on maintaining the status -quo. Perry commented that we are making no progress on actions to create growth — other than Ginger's sterling efforts in marketing. He questioned why we had not done anything about considering options for an all-weather training facility that would create business in bad weather conditions. Joe stated that he could not see an adequate return on investment for this project although no details were discussed. The next step is to create a Strengths/Weaknesses Analysis (SWOT) and Dennis suggested this would be a good topic to discuss at a Council Study Session. It is important that progress is made on this during the quiet winter months and have specific proposals to implement in the 2017 golf season. Joe will get us on the calendar for a February/March date. 8. Proposed Agenda Items for Next Meeting Ken proposed that we continue to keep the same topics on the next agenda for the November 21 2016 meeting including an update on the 2017 budget. 10. Adjourn There being no further business, the meeting was adjourned at 8:30pm. The motion to adjourn was proposed by Sandy Stewart and seconded by Lisa Norgard. Secretary's Note: as a strong proponent of term limits for Boards, I feel that by resigning at the end of this year, I give City Council the opportunity to bring in fresh blood. I have been on the Board since its inception and am very grateful that I was given the opportunity. The past 6 years have been rewarding, sometimes frustrating but always fun. I am proud of what we achieved together and look forward to watching from a safe distance as you advance Coal Creek Golf Course to the next level of success.
