GVCC Liability Insurance - Representative, Keith Schuler
Mr. Schuler gave an overview of the Club's liability insurance. Bids

Board appoint an Insurance Sub-Committee to review our coverages and deductibles. Bardizbanian
will contact Club members who are in the insurance industry to form this
committee.
Long Range Planning Committee - John Sconza
Sconza requested $8,000.00 for a preliminary study to verify the requirements
of an additional pump station on the G.V. Conduit. Update the estimated
costs to design, bid and construct a water service consisting of a dedicated
pump and pipeline form the Solano Projects, Green Valley Conduit to the
GVCC.
Olsen motion to approve $8,000 from the Long Range Funds, Fell seconded.
Frisbie amended the motion to have the study expanded to the GV Homeowners. The
amendment failed due to a lack of a second. The original motion carried. Sconza
is hoping to have the report in December.
Committees
Greens: Receiving bridge permits is ongoing. It is unlikely to get
the bridge repairs completed this year as the Fish & Game permit states
no repair after October 15, 2003.
Power to the water well pump is temporarily delayed as the Club is corresponding
with a homeowner on options from P.G.E. regarding a location for the transformer.
Golf: The committee responded to the Board request for a recommendation
of a penalty for driving range misuse.
Signs at the driving range stating: "Anyone intentionally hitting balls
out of the driving range boundaries will be subject to penalty. 1st
Violation: 30 days loss of driving range privileges. 2nd Violation:
1 year loss of driving range privileges."
Dress Code: The committee suggests signs be placed on all club holders
at the range and at the pick up point of range balls.
Brooks motioned to approve, French seconded. The motion carried.
The committee also stated not to revise the recently updated dress code policy.

has reopened. The committee supports all the Tennis Pro's tournaments. Court(s)
will be available for member play during tournaments. The committee
is requesting a 24 hour reservation notice.

the Board and supports the concept of financing the purchase of a membership. The
committee is still waiting for a response on a Corporate Class of Membership
from the Club's attorney.

Membership Sales
The finance committee feels that the price of a membership is the motivating
factor and suggested lowering the minimum to $20,000 and the transfer fee
to $12,000 for a six month period of time. Fell motioned to approve,
Wilson seconded.
After a lengthy discussion, Justus amended the motion to lower the minimum
asking price to $15,000 and the transfer fee to $12,500 for six months; effective
