Motion: Lisa Norgard Second: Michele Van Pelt Staff Updates Marshall Fire Updates for Recreation Center and Golf Course David Dean reported on the damage to the golf course. • Numerous trees have been identified as damaged and hazardous. Contractors have been hired to remove the trees, and this work should be finished within a couple of weeks. A volunteer group has offered to plant trees in the burned area. David would like to see diversity in the types of trees that are selected. • There was also damage to native grass areas and to some areas of bluegrass The bluegrass may come back on its own. If it doesn't, it will be necessary to plant more grass. Hydroseeding and mulching will be used to avoid runoff and erosion problems. • Some equipment was damaged, but nothing major. • Board members asked if it would be possible to water more, to help create a fire break. David informed us that the golf course does not have water rights from the end of October until the spring runoff. It might be possible to purchase or lease water rights, but it is very expensive in Colorado. • Board members asked if the landscape repair is covered by insurance. This an ongoing, uncertain process. FEMA may cover the cost, but if not, maybe the insurance will cover it. David Baril reported that the clubhouse suffered some fire damage. • The south deck was on fire twice, but suffered relatively minimal damage. The drywall had to be removed to inspect whether or not the structure is sound. He is still waiting for the final results from the inspection. • There was smoke damage in the interior of the clubhouse. ServPro was hired as the fire mitigation contractor and did an excellent job of cleaning. The pro shop donated all soft goods to the free store. • The range mat was damaged, and a new mat has been ordered. The damaged mat might be used as a target landing area. • An inspection of the roof is scheduled. The pavilion roof is damaged and will need to be replaced. 3
