Committees
Greens: The manufacturer changed the design of the recently purchased
sprinklers. This change is causing a dry area or "donut effect" around
the sprinkler. Ray is working with the manufacturer. SID water supply is very
low. There is a concern that we will not receive enough water for the course,
and our wells are not adequate to supplement. Ray is negotiating with SID for
2002. Short staffed and inexperienced employees continue to be a problem for
the maintenance department.
The Green Committee would like the Golf Committee to place a
flyer on how to care for the course in each golf cart during outside tournaments.
Brooks would like to see marshals give more instruction to individuals on course
rules and etiquette.
The Board discussed having signs or markers on all par 3's.
Tennis: The Committee sent a survey to its tennis members on proposed improvements to the tennis facility and requested their opinions on the drafted plans. The Committee is requesting the Board to consider Tennis Memberships. This class of membership would include pool and dining privileges. The Board is in favor of the idea and recommended that the Tennis Committee and Membership Committee develop a program to present to the Board for a By-Law change.
House: The stone table for the Terrace Atrium has been delivered, installation of the golf channel is progressing.
Membership: A New Members Dinner is scheduled for Thursday,
June 14 and a Prospective Member Brunch has been scheduled for Sunday, July
22, 2001. Social/F&B: A Casual Dinner Dance is scheduled for Friday, June
15, 2001.
Pool: Requesting that the Snack
Bar remain open until 7:00 p.m. on Tuesday and Thursday evenings for Swim Team

Motions
Story's Requests
Safety nets which were installed in 1995-96 for the tennis and driving range
areas need to be replaced immediately. Story is requesting $4,500 in addition
to his C.I.F. budget for the replacement of the nets. Gemmer motioned to approve
the additional funds from C.I.F. Forristall seconded. The motion carried.
Asphalt: Buildings & Grounds will research re-paving the
drive to the Maintenance yard and report to the Board.
Sand Traps: Forristall motioned to allot $7,000 in order to
continue the sandtrap renovation project started several years ago. It was discussed
that the advise from Green Supt. Story was that the cost of materials has risen
sharply since the budget was approved but that the increase in anticipated expenditures
covered the same "scope of work" that was contemplated at budget time.
The allowance if approved would keep on schedule to complete the
project by the end of next year; if not approved, completion of the trap renovation
program will probably take another year. Olsen seconded. 3-yes / 7-no. Funding
disapproved.
Tree Program: Story is requesting $25,000 to continue with the
tree program October - December 2001. The current contract with Arbor Care expires
October 2001. It is not yet determined if Arbor Care will be the company contracted
to proceed with the program. Forristall motioned to decline the request. Fell
seconded. The motion carried.
Board of Directors Group Picture: Varady motioned to have one
group picture of the Board of Directors taken versus individual pictures. French
seconded. Bond and Koch opposed. The motion carried.
2001 C.I.F.: Koch motioned to suspend the $25.00 C.I.F. dues
commencing July 2001 through the end of the year. Gemmer seconded, the motion
carried. A notice will be sent with the July statement. A separate mailing is
not necessary.
Maritime Academy Request: A foursome of golf including carts
for their fundraiser in July 2001. Forristall motioned to approve, French seconded.

Non Resident Member Program: A request for a program to reduce
fees and waive the food and beverage minimum spending to accommodate members
who temporarily move out of the area. The Board forwarded the request to the
Membership Committee for recommendation.

borrow Club supplies be at the discretion and approval of the Department Manager.
Forristall motioned to approve, Varady seconded. The motion carried.
