Committee Reports

Membership: Significant Other Policy. The committee discussed the various aspects of allowing member privileges to significant others. The committee does not have a problem with the concept subject to the By-Laws Committee providing the wording to amend our current By-Laws.
The Board will have the by-laws committee research the issue.

By-Laws: The Board requested the committee to amend the by-law wording regarding delinquent accounts to put to a member vote.

Golf: Several seniors signed a letter regarding their concerns on the new flag system. The committee will respond to their concerns.

Green: The new mats for the driving range were discussed. The committee members reviewed the samples provided and hit balls to test the various mats. The committee members, as well as most of the responses from members, indicated that the second mat appeared to be the best. These mats are also the least expensive. The committee authorized Ray to purchase the mats since this expense was included in Phase 1 of the 2008 CIF Budget. Ray was able to purchase the mats for less than budgeted.
The Kirby yardage markers need replacement. Ray requests approval to proceed with replacing the 200 yd, 150 yd and 100 yd markers. Estimated cost for the markers is $6,000. It was proposed that these funds come from the CIF funds not used for the driving range mats. Fisher motioned to approve, Tauber seconded. The motion carried.

House: Wallpaper for the Oakroom and Foyer have been ordered. The welting on the lounge chairs is being repaired. The cost for the repairs is being paid by the furniture company.

Tennis: The courts continue to be active. The Mission Solano Tournament will include the use of the tennis facility.

Pool & Fitness: The committee feels that the children’s play area is in disrepair and outdated. The possibility of removing the swing and play structure and replacing the sand with grass so that we could place more eating tables was raised and was met with enthusiasm. The amount of shade in the pool area is limited because often all of the umbrellas are occupied. The committee would like to address this deficit and will work on a proposal for constructing a shade structure that could be integrated with the remodeled children’s play area. These three projects will likely be the top priorities for capital improvements that will be proposed to the Board in August.
The committee would like to reduce the number of Sunday evening pool barbeques to two themed barbeque dinners. The Board agreed.

Waslohn motioned to adjourn, Gerhardt seconded. The motion carried. 7:33 p.m.

Respectfully Submitted,
Trey Curtola, Secretary
