Bank balance was reported close to $12K with the latest deposit coming in, with weekend beer sales and green fees and cart rentals have been up and fair, respectively. The subsidy shows about $8K behind the budget (green fees and punch passes were combined as one budget line item), but in reality, when looking at the combined items, Board should reflect $3K over on budget as ahead on green fees. Washer and dryer were replaced and doing well revenue wise, as well as reporting a $5K expense on 2 used mowers (one yet undelivered). Frank’s grandson has been employed for limited assistance. 1 Professional services and security on budget show a large change on the subsidy for auditing, and noting the large expense, along with a question on ‘contract labor’. Events are way down and per subsidy report, Mr. Pedroza shows subsidy is $16K over for this point in time. Building maintenance expenditures have been high due to HVAC, ice machine and walk-in cooler, and that new ice machine is needed. Labor Day tournament planning is still up in the air due to no inmate labor and unknown pandemic guidelines for that future timeline, and limited RV spaces at MPC facility. Golf and Social Club to meet and address Labor Day tournament logistics. 6. Information/Discussion, Reporting and possible Decision or Direction pertaining to aspects presented in the periodic standing report from staff regarding maintenance of the golf course MPC facility, equipment and water delivery system. Pablo Moulinet (SV Electric) looked at back 9 watering delivery/irrigation issues, he suggested a variable control module that regulates motor start-up was installed to protect hard start-ups of pump and that to replace $3-5 K if not fixed then the panel boards that communicate with pedestals would need replaced and he would help by donating labor. Number 9 green trying to grow grass there and golf course really misses DOC crew. Holes 11 & 12 are very dry with little water reaching green, with 14 retaining water. 7. Information/Discussion and possible Decision or Direction regarding MPC Administrative Action Plan to improve the course and overall condition of the facilities. Main issues identified were irrigation and green mowing. And general course conditions to include fairways were discussed by Board. Course use and general lack of care by non- regular golfers with a suggestion to rope-off on 13 by Ruben Robles. 8.

Bee removal was a recent task, no hall rentals are scheduled. The Board briefly discussed bar reopening schedule or guidelines, social guidelines are being implemented for golf course and cart use. Ruben Robles reported fishing incidents, children playing on the greens with subsequent unsavory contact with the parents, children playing soccer on 14, and a family picnic on 13 green; that hole now has a game camera. The situation seems to be getting better and there seems to be more order at the RV Park. Tachi Durazo asked for MPC staff to talk to the HOA on the recurring issues. Staff will be instructed to be a bit more vigilant with new faces (new golf course users) and will be looking to closely enforce the facility rules, as all but 1 cart is operational. 9.

The MPC Golf Chair reported entity does not have any new or current reports from Larry Moss for the 3rd quarter, and Luis Pedroza relayed a message to the Board that he still does not have September numbers from Mr. Moss to do his report.

The tee tops were planted with most of the fairways receiving seed, and member noted that a meeting needed to be had, as all meetings were informal. Tachi Durazo noted that the action plan is still awaited from Mr. Forrest, and how these actions done need to be prioritized. Weed control and condition of the greens needs to be prioritized per Mr. Durazo, and green repairs for 6 & 9 was given also as a priority item by Bosco Selchow with ideas for these repairs that included harvesting the putting green, or a sod farm. David Arzate mentions we need a list of priorities and accountability for these tasks, as greens are getting worse. Group talked in general about smaller general problems at the golf course.

The Board discussed lowering the RV Park rate from $350 to $270, both plus taxes. Bosco Selchow is interested in better competing (from a price perspective) with the private RV Parking, who is the major competitor and as they have garnered the wall project contractors as tenants. Access to the private RV Park was briefly discussed with the possibility of Mr. Foreman providing access to the private concern (later in meeting the Foreman suspicion was confirmed to be inaccurate), and that according to the City it cannot provide access as it is not a road and not up to development standards.

Information/Update with a possible Discussion/Decision on current events, updates or concerns at the golf course since the October, 2019 meeting.
