Report on Ground Water Recharge Project

Mr. Smith explained that by building recharge ponds on City owned property near the water treatment facility, the City could then get credits for groundwater recharge with the use of effluent discharge from the wastewater facility.

Report on Transwestern, Bridges and Driving Range

Mr. Schwind briefed Committee members on the monies of $130,000 Transwestern submitted to City for golf course improvements. Mr. Schwind stated that the City Manager has asked to look in to the feasibility of adding lights to the driving range with the funding. Feedback and direction was sought from the Golf Course Advisory Committee.

Golf Course Manager, Bob Bauer stated that he did a study and contacted three other courses up in the valley that had lighted driving ranges and only one was successful. Additional financial issues included extending staff hours and adding security for safety of the employees. Mr. Bauer expressed after looking at the numbers, he doesn’t feel putting that much money into lights and the cost of staffing would be economically feasible.

Member Ramsdell moved to disapprove of using the funds from Transwestern for driving range lights and use towards another improvement to the golf course. Member Petreshock seconded, discussion ensued.
Member Ramsdell motioned a recommendation to not use the funds for lights at the driving range. Four members were in agreement with one member who abstained.

Mr. Schwind then gave a brief summary in regards to bridges at the golf course.


UNFINISHED BUSINESS
