Recreation Advisory Board <br />Minutes <br />June 24, 2024 <br />Page 4 of 5 <br />• Sandra Grow is doing an excellent job as the horticulturalist at the Golf <br />Course. Lisa will get a card to thank her on behalf of the RAB. <br />Dick continues to look at sources of revenue to finance construction of a new <br />clubhouse. <br />• One possibility would be to finance the construction with revenue generated <br />by the Golf Course. This might work if the City would pay for other capital <br />improvements and equipment. <br />• Once constructed, a new clubhouse could generate additional revenue with <br />room rentals for meetings and event banquets, as well as additional income <br />from a larger restaurant. <br />• RAB members would appreciate updates from the City Manager's office <br />regarding the status of planning and funding for a new clubhouse or <br />clubhouse renovation. Adam Blackmore will be at the next meeting, and RAB <br />members will ask him for an update. <br />Board Updates <br />Outdoor Rec Amenities <br />Lisa reported that the subcommittee met in June and will meet in August. <br />The subcommittee will send a Memo to council with recommendations. <br />These recommendations match the recommendations that the RAB sent to <br />Council. <br />Dick reported that David Baril hired a new ranger, Bill Hempen, who is a <br />soccer coach. Dick suggested that the RAB invite Bill to a meeting to <br />provide information regarding soccer/multipurpose fields. <br />Kathy reported that the Open Space Advisory Board is considering a pump <br />track. She recommended coordination with the Rec Advisory Board and the <br />Outdoor Rec Subcommittee. <br />There is no plan to paint pickleball lines on the tennis court at Mission Green <br />Park. The court is close to houses.
