Chairman Malouf called the October 14, 2021 meeting of the Budget Committee to order
at 8:07 p.m. Motion to accept the minutes of the September 28, 2021 and October 7,
2021 meetings of the Budget Committee was made by Mr. Podurgiel, seconded by
Chairman Caulfield and approved by a vote of 4-0.
Mr. Nixon presented the financial information including year end projections. 2021
Revenues are predicted to be $1,293,593.50, slightly more than $200,000 over
budgeted Revenues. Expenses appear to be $1,196.652.91, approximately $110,000 0ver
budgeted expenses. The Cash on Hand and anticipated Revenues are adequate to handle
the increased expenses in 2021.
Mr. Nixon led a discussion concerning a proposed budget for 2022 and adjustments
suggested to the same. Mr. Svab and Mr. Kundahl led a discussion of the proposed
capital projects to be considered in 2022 identifying the capital projects they
recommend be funded in the 2022 budget. After considering the same the members of
the Budget Committee concluded the cash surplus built up through the 2020 season to
be added to by a positive Revenue in excess of Expenses surplus at the end of the 2021
season, justify increasing the expense side of the budget in 2022 to include a number of
necessary capital projects such that, the 2022 budget will show an operating loss to be
offset by withdrawals from the cash surplus.
At 8:50 a.m. Mr. Malouf moved that the Budget Committee move to go into executive
session to discuss adjustments to the compensation for the maintenance and clubhouse
staffs including Mr. Svab and Mr. Kundahl and their assistants. Mr. Svab and Mr.
Kundahl both agreed that such discussion could take place in executive session. The
motion was seconded by Mr. Podurgiel and approved by a vote of 4-0.
At 9:38 a.m. Mr. Malouf made a motion to return to regular session noting that no votes
were taken during the executive session. This was seconded by Mr. Caulfield and
approved by a 4-0 vote.
The Budget Committee requested Messrs. Madeira and Nixon to put together the
proposed budget as adjusted in the discussions of October 14, 2021 and to arrange to
have the same available for distribution to the members of the Golf Course Authority
prior to the Authority meeting scheduled for October 20, 2021.
A motion to approve the proposed budget as recommended by the Budget Committee
for presentation to the full Authority was made by Mr. Driscoll, seconded by Mr.
Caulfield and approved by a vote of 4-0.
A motion to adjourn the Budget Committee meeting at 9:40 a.m. was made by Mr.
Malouf, seconded by Mr. Podurgiel and approved by a vote of 4-0.
