Nomination: Haines Second: Public Comments — None Staff Updates Recreation and Senior Center Updates Kathy Martin and Nathan Mosely commented on the Recreation and Senior Center Dashboard. Mosely noted that Martin and her team had done a phenomenal job, given the facility was closed for 109 days due to Covid-19, and was limited to 10-25% capacity for much of the rest of the time. Even though there was a 64% decrease in visits, expenses were well -managed, with emphasis placed on safety and service. Although there was a net operating deficit of 1.3 million dollars, after transfers -in there was a $223,000 net fund balance to assist with future purchases and operations. As Covid-19 will still cause challenges going forward, budgeting will be flexible and managed conservatively. Kathy Martin remained optimistic, highlighting positive results such as the over 100 meals per day served at the Senior Center curbside pickup site and the fact that numbers from the Boulder County Health Department appear to be improving. Golf Course Update Nathan Mosely and David Baril reported on what they considered to be a blockbuster year for the golf course, given the situation, which included more than 30 days lost to Covid-19. Marketing Update Brett Nickerson suggested that an incentive plan similar to that of the Golf Course be implemented to draw users back to the Recreation and Senior Center. Ginger Cross agreed and has already been thinking along those lines. She also reported on plans to have a warm opening for the new Grill at Coal Creek and activities that will stress our wonderful local amenities, including the Recreation and Senior Center, our parks and open spaces.
