Further discussion on a golf simulator, food and beverage and winter activities with additional information from Tom Beaudry a. Beaudry looked into pricing and the cost of one simulator is around 30K-35K depending on the features selected. For winter activities, programming could be put together. Beaudry suggested addressing these topics at a later time once it has been decided what capital expenditures for next year will be in order, to plan accordingly. 3. Golf Course Cash Flow Statement – Prepared by City Finance a. Puetz reviewed the cash flow statement, described the differences between Kemper and City financial statements and pointed out that the needed irrigation system will need to be addressed as the existing projected cash flow will not cover it. Financing options will likely need to be explored. 4. Standing agenda items: a. Profit/Loss – Budget/Actual Statement a. Beaudry stated the range opened on March 29th. The new range ball system is in place and the machine has already paid for itself. b. Year over year the numbers look good. This might be due to some people waiting last year to get season passes which might mean it’s too early to make a good comparison. Golf Course Committee Meeting 1 May 10, 2021  b. General Manager/Golf Pro – report a. Beaudry mentioned the new cooler and tap system that will be fully installed soon. The tap system will give cost savings and the new cooler was really needed. b. The Course got 3 new hires with the job fair. c. The patio was made more level which will help with safety. d. Kolbe asked why a bucket of balls must be used same day. Beaudry stated that it is related to the software. Loomis stated they can look into having the codes not expire for a few days. Beaudry also stated that golfers could instead get a fob with range tokens that would not expire same day. c. Superintendent – Grounds/Maintenance report a. Dodge stated his crew is busy but that work on the course is going well. b. Kolbe and Sweeney have both received calls regarding difficulty in seeing flags on the course. Dodge will see what he can do about this. c. Hoag likes the way 3 north is with the ropes across. Kolbe would like to see ropes on 8 north. d. Dodge reported that over the winter, some of the annual blue grass died that was in low areas. Better drainage would help with this. d. General Manager top three concerns. a. Beaudry said his top three concerns are training staff, supply chain and consistent good weather. Loomis added that this is consistent with the Kemper Sports wide top three concerns which are staffing, securing/acquiring products and services and course care. e.
