5. Questions from Committee
Members
Harry Emerzian asked about the second
green and its settlement problems. Steve
told the committee that the second green is a priority for repair along with
greens 12 and 15. Golf course staff will be scheduling repair for all three
when funding and time permit.
Vic Calvo mentioned that the course is in
the best shape he has seen it in for many years and wanted to stress how
important it is to develop a plan to replace the water hazards in the ponds
with some sort of other type of hazard. Vic talked about how the reduction of
the water in the ponds has reduced the number of coots on the golf course.

in the Golf Course Conference Room. The February meeting will be held Tuesday, February 9. The meetings will
return to the third Tuesday of the month in March.
