APPROVAL OF MINUTES FROM September 26, 2025 APPROVAL OF MINUTES FROM September 26, 2025 MEETING MOTION BY: Commissioner Ozog SECONDED BY: Commissioner Coldiron RESULT: Unanimous D. STANDING REPORTS 1. Financial – Noel Allen – Manager Allen provided several financial updates. October revenues were up 4%, with golf revenue increasing by 11% and food revenue down 7%. The goal is to turn food sales around in the coming months. Operating expenses rose 16%, or just under $98,000, primarily due to higher administrative service charges and insurance costs, which increased by $100,000 for the year. Grounds expenses were also higher due to materials such as sand, seed, and fertilizer, as well as the timing of utility payments. Golf expenses increased for similar timing reasons. Reserve 22 expenses rose due to the cost of goods sold and utility payments. Operating profit for the month remains strong at just under $380,000, and net profit was $208,000 better than the same period last year. Last year’s figures included the locker room and bathroom remodel expenses. Year-to-date, revenues are up $31,000, while operating expenses have increased 3%, or approximately $180,000, an area that will need to be closely managed moving forward. Most of the capital projects were executed for the year with the exception of the installation of the new security system will begin soon. The Village Board recently approved the $106,000 expenditure. The full plan will be implemented in response to the recent theft incident. The $100,000 transfer to the Park District for Panfish Park was completed in October. The Recreation Fund ended September with $3.317 million in cash. Typically, cash reserves increase from May through October and then begin to draw down over the remainder of the year to cover payroll and operating expenses. 2. Manager’s Report A. Golf – Mike Campbell – Director Campbell provided an update on golf operations. September was a busy month, with 12 total outings, including three large events. The Senior Open drew 80 participants, and a Super Senior Open will be added next year. Staffing levels remain strong, particularly after shifting to hire more retirees. Merchandise sales increased by $5,000, with Vince now overseeing this area. B. Reserve 22 – David Manseau - Food and Beverage Director Manseau provided several updates. Sales were soft in September, which provided an opportunity to observe and assess current operations and review the menu mix with Chef Tom. Happy Hour was reintroduced after a long hiatus, and the October new menu launch has begun and was well received. Additional Happy Hour promotions are planned in the coming months. The Thanksgiving menu has been finalized following careful research to ensure competitive pricing, with several appealing add-ons and appetizers and additional kids’ menu selections. Page 3 of 27  Recreation 3 October 31, 2025 A new “Bar Snacks” category has been introduced to help drive bar traffic. Flatbread offerings have also been broadened, and the team will continue to monitor restaurant trends and guest feedback. Manseau noted plans to update approximately 17 menu items and enhance the restaurant’s social media presence. On the beverage side, a detailed pricing review identified opportunities for improvement. On the banquet front, revenues were down, and the team is using this time to analyze performance, develop new strategies, and focus on long-term growth. The approach will shift from primarily inbound to a more proactive, outbound sales strategy. Trustee Thompson inquired about the banquet quote process and how incoming calls are handled. Manseau explained that calls are answered within the first three rings and routed to Liz, who manages the banquet calendar and provides quotes. If Liz is unavailable, calls are returned within 24 hours. Incoming calls are directed through the main line based on the caller’s menu selection. He added that the team also receives walk-in inquiries and has improved its ability to manage them effectively. Manager Allen noted that Manseau brings strong banquet experience and understands both the sales process and customer service expectations. Manseau added that the goal is to become less reliant on inbound inquiries and to build a stronger outbound sales strategy, which is currently limited. Trustee Thompson emphasized the importance of outreach to local churches and funeral homes and stressed the need for prompt, professional responses to inbound calls to help secure bookings. Allen concluded that the team is actively developing strategies to strengthen banquet sales, with support from various departments across the Village. C. Grounds – Andrew Cross - Superintendent Cross provided several updates: September was a busy month that concluded with a period of moderate drought. Turf loss posed a challenge, as dry conditions made it difficult for new seed to take hold; however, growth has since improved. Tree trimming continued throughout September and will remain ongoing. Pond treatments were completed in October, and the plan is to treat all ponds next year using the current vendor. The team also completed several minor irrigation repairs and continues to address equipment maintenance as aging machinery requires attention. Cross added that he has been working with F&B Director Manseau to familiarize him with golf course operations. 3. Trustee Liaison – Steve Thompson – Trustee Thompson provided several updates: The Village is currently in the middle of the budget process, with the first reading scheduled for November 10. Construction on the Starbucks site has begun, and progress is anticipated soon on the east side of the hotel project. Meredith Hannah noted that the EPA has approved the remediation plan with the developer. Work on the west side of the project has stalled due to the government shutdown and delays in receiving grant funding. Street improvements throughout the Village are underway, and lead service line replacements will continue into next year. Additionally, Meredith mentioned that the Village is seeking volunteers for the Fourth of July committee. Page 4 of 27  Recreation 4 October 31, 2025 E. OLD BUSINESS – None F. NEW BUSINESS 1. 2026 Rate Proposal – Manager Allen provided an overview of the rate review process, explaining that staff conducted a 2025 rate analysis to help develop the proposed 2026 rates. Trevor Hollowed collected rate data from surrounding golf courses and gathered information on their potential future rate adjustments, along with insights from industry publications. Rates were then evaluated in relation to the current budget. Allen noted two new considerations for 2025 that will continue in 2026. The first involves the addition of GolfNow to help fill last-minute tee times. GolfNow has a new model allowing bookings only one day in advance. The platform collects payment directly from the customer through one barter tee time. The agreement is currently on a month-to-month basis, and staff is assessing its effectiveness. Early results show additional bookings coming through the platform. While the preference remains for golfers to book directly through our website, this limited partnership allows us to test a third-party booking option for filling last-minute openings. If GolfNow does not generate enough revenue from this arrangement, they may terminate the agreement as well. The second consideration is the introduction of a proportionate rate structure. Currently, the course uses a three-tier pricing model: • Non-residents receive no discount. • VIP golfers (non-residents who pay a fee) receive a 20% discount. • Residents currently have no standardized discount. Staff is proposing a 25% discount for residents under the new structure. A market analysis found that the course ranks in the top third for pricing among comparable facilities. For 2026 rates, staff recommends Model C, which includes a $2.00 increase on weekend rates and a $1.00 increase on weekday rates, along with the proportionate rate structure. Manager Allen stated that these adjustments will help offset rising costs and inflation while keeping revenues aligned with budget targets. Trustee Thompson emphasized the importance of keeping resident rates affordable, and Noel added that the resident discount should be clearly presented when rates are brought before the Village Board. Resident junior rates will also decrease for 9-hole play. Commissioner Slowinski motioned to approve Model C rate structure, and Commissioner Coldiron seconded. Commissioners Ozog, Slowinski, Coldiron, Quoss and Coconate voted in favor, and the motion passed unanimously in support of Model C rates. G.

Manager's Report - October 2025 Page 15 of 27  22 “Committed to Excellence since 1967” Manager’s Report for OCTOBER 2025 Submitted by Noel Allen, General Manager October 2025 was warmer and drier than typical. Looking at October observations from O’Hare, the average temperature was 58.1°F, 4.1°F above normal, and precipitation was 2.67” which is 0.76” below normal. We experienced frost delays on six days in October, one more than in October 2024. Carts were grounded two out of 31 days for a 94% availability rate. We still remained in a moderate drought status per the National Drought Monitor as of October 28. GOLF Rounds played were down 2% for the month, and are down 2% for the year. Green Fee revenue was flat for the month, and is up 3% for the year. Driving Range revenue was down 10% for the month, and is up 6% for the year. Motor Car revenue was down 5% for the month, and is down 4% for the year. Pro Shop sales were up 46% for the month, and are up 9% for the year. Overall Golf revenues were flat for the month, and are up 2% for the year. Page 16 of 27 In October, rounds played were 8,227, only 157 behind last year and 870 behind our best October in 1999. We have only played 8,000 or more rounds in the month of October nine times in our 59-year history. The weather as measured by golf playable hours this October was 2% better than last year, and 13% better than a normal year. Mother Nature continued providing tailwinds in October with better conditions on four of seven days of the week, including Friday, Saturday, and Sunday’s, where demand is at the highest. With rounds played down 2% this month and capacity rounds up 2%, utilization decreased slightly this month, something we will continue to monitor in November and into the spring when the new season begins. Carts were affected twice this month due to weather, compared to one day last October. The Village Links hosted the 26th Links Cup Matches, which this year pitted a team of ten qualifying amateurs against ten Golf Staff members. The event follows the Ryder Cup format, and it is contested over two days. The team of Village Links amateurs earned a decisive victory, avenging last year’s loss. Since its inaugural event in 1999, the Golf Staff has won 17 cups, and the amateurs have captured nine cups. Golf staff also hosted the annual Fall Scramble, which saw 19 teams of four players competing in gross and net flights, one more team than last year’s event. New to the calendar in Director of Golf Mike Campbell’s first year, was a travel Pro-Am run by the Village Links that saw five teams compete in Las Vegas in three rounds of competitive golf with prizes and gifts. The event received rave reviews and will be considered again next year, with details, including the location, still to be determined. There were no golf outings hosted in October. High School golf ended their seasons early in the month. The Swingin’ Set Ladies Golf League conducted their annual Fall Luncheon and 9-hole scramble. As has been tradition, staff was invited to join the ladies in their season-ending celebration and member lunch meeting. With October comes the necessary practice of greens aeration, which relieves compaction and controls organic matter or thatch, resulting in healthier, stronger turf that drains better, develops stronger root systems, and better tolerates foot traffic. We attempted to continue our new practice from last year, closing nine holes each day to allow the Grounds staff to complete the process quickly, and without golfer disruption. Unfortunately, Mother Nature did not cooperate resulting in a hybrid return to our old practice of setting up temporary greens for players to use while aerating the normal putting green. Page 17 of 27 RESERVE 22 Reserve 22 revenues were unfortunately down again this month, but not by much (-0.6%) with poor Halloween Day revenues squandering our first chance in a while to beat last year’s October results. Restaurant, bar, and concessions were down 6.3%; however, banquets rebounded nicely from last month and were up 16.6%. This month’s total Reserve 22 revenues were the 3rd highest since Reserve 22 opened and were down only $1.4K from last year, and $20.7K short of our record setting October in 2022. Reserve 22’s management team was very busy adding Happy Hour and new Bar Snacks to the menu, as well as a phased in approach to our new upcoming menu, scheduled to launch in early November, which is adding about 15 new items and improving some current items as well. In October 2025, we hosted 21 events across all spaces – a decrease of three events compared to October 2024. Our Banquet Sales team met in October and is working on identifying where most of our leads are generated and for ways to increase total numbers. Ideas like a proposed wedding walk, including developing preferred partner vendors, to attract smaller weddings as well as ancillary wedding parties were discussed as well as targeting funeral homes and churches to build on our Memorial business. With the Arboretum Holiday Lights festival about to begin, we will also be looking for ways to attract groups to Reserve 22 for dinner before or after their event. Restaurant Manager Kim Kramarczyk prepared and hosted our now annual free Family Pumpkin Carving event on the Banquet Patio. The somewhat messy tradition was enjoyed by many local families for the 2-hour fun fest. We will soon be preparing again for another free family event, our Holiday Cookie Decorating, planned for December. Reserve 22 staff is also preparing for the upcoming holidays and will again offer the popular Thanksgiving Buffet and take-out. Pricing and selections have increased and we are tracking nicely with reservations already. Page 18 of 27 Marketing Specialist Julie Rusin has been collaborating closely with Golf Course Superintendent Andrew Cross and the Reserve 22 team to bring back the popular Holiday Pop-Up Bar, continuing to build on the growing success of the past seven seasons. Since its debut in 2019 (with a pause in 2020 due to COVID- 19), December food revenues have steadily increased year after year. Julie’s ever-expanding holiday décor has become a major draw, delighting regular guests and attracting new visitors alike. Last year, Julie introduced an exciting Winter Wonderland extension through January and February, which resulted in record-breaking January revenues. This season, we’re looking forward to enhancing both themes even further, with more visits from Santa in December, additional Princess Elsa appearances in January and February, and a few additional surprise family-friendly guests to keep the magic alive all winter long. Page 19 of 27 KEY METRICS Year-to-date comparisons to targeted budget numbers were again mixed, with gains in all golf categories but still missing in food and total revenues. Unfortunately, we are now $16K below target budget for total revenue, whereas last year through the same time period, we were $698K over target. Food revenues are now trailing target by $335K for the year. Of note, targets were raised for 2025 by over $783K in total revenue, $328K of which was in food revenues. All revenues, however, including food, remain near record highs.

October is always a very busy month for grounds, as they start the month with a big push to aerify greens. Greens aeration was delayed on the second day this year due to heavy rains, but was able to be completed by the end of the week. Grounds crews continued with tree trimming on the course which is work that will be ongoing. In anticipation of aerifying all surfaces this fall, the grounds crew trimmed around sprinklers throughout the property, but unfortunately, just as green aeration was delayed due to rain, tee and fairway aerification was delayed due to dry conditions. Assistant Golf Course Superintendents Mike Ludwig and Matt Dutkiewicz collaborated with the Village of Glen Ellyn IT department to install new Wi-Fi access points throughout the Clubhouse. Mike and Matt led a team in September and October, pulling new wires and installing the new hardware, resulting in much improved speed and security of the new system. Grounds 1. Greens were aerified and sand top-dressed, adding around 100 TONS of sand to the greens 2. Fairways and tee aerification postponed due to dry conditions 3. Bunkers raked as needed, time permitted 4. Filled all tee divots weekly 5. 12 irrigation repairs 6. Sprinkler heads trimmed 7. Removed woody plants around ponds and treated to prevent regrowth 8.
