Feb 24, 2026 Golf Course Advisory Committee

[00:00:04]

CALL TO ORDER. AWESOME. ALL RIGHT. JASON'S ARE INTRODUCED HIMSELF. I WAS GOING TO START OFF WITH THAT, BUT, YOU KNOW, WE'D LIKE TO WELCOME JASON FOR HIS FIRST OFFICIAL MEETING AND ALSO TAKEN THE ROLE AS VICE CHAIR. SO MUCH APPRECIATED ON THAT. THIS TIME WE'LL LOOK AT CITIZEN COMMENTS. AND THERE'S NOBODY WHO SIGNED UP THAT I WAS MADE AWARE OF. SO WE CAN KIND

[III. STAFF AND COUNCIL LIAISON REPORTS]

WELL, I HAVE NOTHING SPECIFIC OTHER THAN I'M LOOKING FORWARD TO NEW LEADERSHIP AND THE FULL COMMITTEE. AND AND THIS YEAR AHEAD WITH THE NEW SPRINKLER SYSTEM IN, YOU KNOW, IN THE HORIZON THERE. I THINK THAT OPENS UP A LOT OF OPPORTUNITIES AND POSSIBILITIES THAT I'M SURE THE COMMITTEE WILL BE EXPLORING. SO CONGRATULATIONS. YEAH. ANY QUESTIONS FOR OUR CITY COUNCILMAN? ANYBODY THAT BRINGS WE'LL GO TO GREG FOR OUR REPORT FROM OUR CITY STAFF. ALL. GOOD EVENING ALL ONCE AGAIN. OKAY. SO FOLLOWING UP ON JANUARY, I'LL TALK A LITTLE BIT ABOUT ROUNDS. AND YOU KNOW HOW BUSINESS IS RIGHT NOW. FEBRUARY IS PROBABLY MOST LIKELY GOING TO TURN OUT TO BE THE WARMEST IN HISTORY HERE IN AUSTIN IF NOT TOP THREE. SO THAT DEFINITELY HAS HELPED. THANK GOODNESS AGAIN FOR THE RAIN. I THINK IT WAS 2 OR 3 SATURDAYS AGO. IF WE HADN'T GOTTEN THAT, IT WAS GOING TO PUT A LOT MORE STRESS ON THE COURSE. SO THANKFULLY WE GOT THAT. THE REASON YOU'RE SEEING THE BRIGHT GREEN AGAIN THAT IS WINTER RYE AND THE RAIN WOKE UP SOME AREAS THAT THE RYE HADN'T POPPED YET OR WOKEN UP BECAUSE OF THE LACK OF MOISTURE. SO THAT THAT'S ALL WINTER RYE GRASS. THAT'S THE SEED BED THAT WE PRAY WILL KEEP COMING UP EVERY YEAR BECAUSE IT'S 4050 GRAND OVERSEED EVERY YEAR IF YOU WANT TO DO THAT.

WITH THAT BEING SAID, APRIL, DEPENDING ON MOTHER NATURE SOMETIME IN APRIL OR MAY, ALL THAT WILL DIE OUT. GO TO SLEEP. IT'LL JUST BE A SEED BED UNDERNEATH THE SOIL, AND THE BERMUDA WILL START WAKING UP. SOME OF IT'S TRYING TO WAKE UP A LITTLE BIT NOW BECAUSE IT'S BEEN SO WARM, BUT THAT'S GENERALLY A MAY OR JUNE TIME FRAME OR EXCUSE ME, PROBABLY APRIL MAY. ONCE THAT HAPPENS, THEN GEORGE AND I WILL KIND OF SEE, YOU KNOW, HOW WE'RE LOOKING FAIRWAY TEE BOX WISE. BECAUSE AGAIN, ALL THAT GRAIN RYE IS GOING AWAY. SO THEN IT ALSO ADDS COMPETITION WITH BERMUDA. BUT WHEN YOU HAVE A LOT OF BERMUDA AND YOU'RE HEALTHY THERE'S REALLY DOESN'T MATTER. YOU MAY HAVE SOME THIN AREAS, BUT IN OUR CASE WHERE WE DON'T HAVE A LOT OF BERMUDA BEING TEASED AND FAIRWAYS, THAT'S THE TIME THAT IT MAY GET KIND OF THIN. SO THE MORE RAIN WE HAVE, THE BETTER. YOU KNOW, LOOKING AT IT TEN TIMES A DAY LIKE I DO RIGHT NOW. THEY'RE SHOWING MAYBE NEXT TUESDAY, WEDNESDAY AND 8 TO 14 DAYS OUT.

WETTER THAN NORMAL. BUT WE ALL KNOW THAT CAN CHANGE ANY DAY. SO WITH THAT BEING SAID, THE ROUNDS FOR FEBRUARY ARE. WE'RE HAVING A GREAT FEBRUARY. LET ME PUT MY MIDDLE AGE, AS I CALL IT, READERS ON FEBRUARY, I'M UP 65% IN GROSS REVENUE OVER LAST FEBRUARY, AND 55% UP IN ROUNDS.

WE'RE GOING TO COME IN PROBABLY AT ABOUT 2600, GIVE OR TAKE ROUNDS FOR FEBRUARY, WHICH IS A GREAT NUMBER BECAUSE MY BUSIEST MONTHS IN THE GOLF INDUSTRY ARE MARCH THROUGH JUNE. SO KEEP THAT IN MIND, YOU KNOW? SO I GOT PROFESSIONALS. IF WE MAKE IT THROUGH THE WINTER WITH SOME DECENT BUSINESS AND DECENT WEATHER, WELL, THAT WE'RE JUST PRAYING FOR THE SPRING, THE DAYLIGHT SAVINGS TIME, IT'LL CHANGE MARCH 8TH. SO WHEN WE WAKE UP ON THE EIGHTH, THAT GIVES ME AN OPPORTUNITY WHICH OUR WEEKENDS NOW WHICH HAVE BEEN BOOKED TILL, YOU KNOW, FROM 730 TILL TWO THAT WILL BECOME FROM 730 TO 4. SO MARCH, APRIL, MAY, JUNE, THOSE FOUR

[00:05:08]

BUT UNKNOWNS, YOU KNOW, AT OUR COURSE BEING OLDER AND THEN THE IRRIGATION NOT BEING IT'S GOING TO BE IN THE PROCESS. BUT YOU KNOW SOME OF THOSE FACTORS CAN DETER ROUNDS. BUT WITH THAT BEING SAID, RIGHT NOW, YEAR TO DATE, WE'RE WE'RE 17% UP IN GROSS REVENUE AND 20% UP IN ROUNDS. SO MY 5% TO 10% IN ROUNDS RIGHT NOW STARTED OUT REALLY GOOD. NOW, YOU KNOW, WE HAVE SOME RECORD RAIN THIS SPRING THAT CAN CHANGE THINGS. BUT BUT I'M FEELING GOOD ABOUT IT. YOU KNOW NET EBITDA, NOI NET REVENUES. YOU KNOW AGAIN LAST YEAR WAS THE BEST YEAR WE'VE HAD HERE. AND 4 OR 5 YEARS PLUS, YOU KNOW WE LOST AROUND 350. RIGHT NOW I'M TO BUDGET. I'M WITH GROSS REVENUES AND AND EXPENSES. I'M A COUPLE HUNDRED GIVE OR TAKE. BUT THAT COUPLE HUNDRED KEEP IN MIND MY NUMBERS IN MARCH, APRIL, MAY, JUNE ARE GOING TO START KICKING UP ABOVE EXPENSES QUITE A BIT. SO I'LL BE GAINING NUMBERS. BACK OFF THAT. SO I STILL FEEL GOOD. YOU KNOW, IF WE HAVE A DECENT REST OF THE YEAR TO COME IN. DEFINITELY UNDER LAST YEAR.

WITH THAT BEING SAID, I'LL LEAD INTO AN IRRIGATION UPDATE AND I KNOW SOME OF THIS THAT I SAY IS REDUNDANT, BUT IT THIS IS OUR FOCUS RIGHT NOW AND THE KEYS IS GOING TO DRIVE THE FUTURE OF THE REBIRTH OF LAGO VISTA GOLF COURSE. PRECONSTRUCTION MEETING IN PERSON WILL BE PROBABLY SOMETIME NEXT WEEK. VICTOR'S GETTING. HE'S WAITING OUR PROJECT MANAGER ON A COUPLE PEOPLE TO GET BACK, BUT WE WILL DEFINITELY MEET IN PERSON NEXT WEEK. WORST CASE WEEK AFTER. AT THAT TIME, WE WILL SET A HARD DATE. AND THINGS WILL BEGIN. YOU KNOW, IN MY BEST OPINION BEFORE APRIL 1ST FOR SURE, WHICH IS WHAT WE'VE SAID ALL ALONG. SO IF THERE'S SOME BIG HICKEY OR IN SCHEDULE BECAUSE THE DIAMOND GOLF, I MEAN, EVEN IF IT STARTS IN THE FIRST WEEK IN APRIL, I'M NOT WORRIED ABOUT IT. WE'LL STILL FINISH IN THAT AUGUST TIMELINE. SO ALL THAT IS POSITIVE. AND THAT JUST GOES BACK TO KIND OF REITERATE WHAT I KEEP SAYING IN THE FALL, IT'LL GIVE GEORGE, OUR SUPERINTENDENT, AND I, YOU KNOW, SEPTEMBER, OCTOBER. SO TWO MONTHS WORTH OF PROPER IRRIGATION TO HAPPEN. BUT THAT'S REALLY NOT THE TIME THAT HE AND I NEED TO SEE IT, BECAUSE THE BERMUDA IS KIND OF GOING TO SLEEP AND THE RYE WILL POP THE END OF OCTOBER, BUT IT WILL GIVE US ENOUGH TIME TO MAKE SURE THE SYSTEM, EVERYTHING'S RUNNING PERFECT, AND WE'LL SEE IF IT DOES ANYTHING TO THE EXISTING BERMUDA FROM THE SUMMER TO MAKE ANYTHING SPREAD OR POP UP. SO THAT'S KIND OF HOW THAT STANDS.

AND AGAIN, BECAUSE OF THAT, THE TIMING OF EVERYTHING, MY GOAL NEXT YEAR, 2627 FISCAL, IS TO BASICALLY GET CLOSE TO BREAKING EVEN. IF NOT BREAKING EVEN. IT COULD GO A LITTLE RED, EVEN A LITTLE BLACK. AND THEN HAVING NEXT SPRING OF 27 WITH OUR NEW IRRIGATION SYSTEM, THAT'S WHEN ADVERTISING REBIRTH OF LAGO VISTA GOLF COURSE. EVERYTHING NEEDS TO BE PUT OUT THERE.

DON'T WANT TO BE PREMATURE WITH IT. SO I DON'T WANT I DON'T WANT TO DO ANYTHING IN THE FALL TO TELL THEM TO COME OUT IN THE WINTER. YOU KNOW, I WANT TO GET THAT RYE COLOR. AND THEN NEXT MARCH, APRIL, MAY, I'M, YOU KNOW, IN YOUR AVERAGE GOLFER AND YOUR GOLFING PUBLIC, THE MASTERS KIND OF KICKS OFF GOLF SEASON, WHICH IS USUALLY ANYWHERE FROM LATE MARCH TO APRIL. SO TIMING SHOULD BE GOOD. GRANTED, NO INTERRUPTIONS. AND THE PROJECT. WITH THAT BEING SAID, I'LL GO INTO YOU'VE HEARD ME. I THINK THE LAST MEETING I TOLD EVERYONE ABOUT PROJECT MUNI. PROJECT MUNI IS A PROGRAM THAT USGA, UNITED STATES GOLF ASSOCIATION HAS STARTED, BUT KEEPS GROWING TREMENDOUSLY. ALONG WITH TGA, TEXAS GOLF ASSOCIATION, AND THE USGA.

[00:10:08]

I PRETTY MUCH KNOW WHAT IT'S GOING TO BE, BUT I WANT TO USE MOST OF THE MONEY FOR TEE BOXES.

THE GREENS ARE UNDER CONTROL. GEORGE AND STAFF HAVE DONE A GREAT JOB. ALONG WITH MY MAGIC.

JUST KIDDING. SOMEWHAT. SO TEE BOXES IT. IT CAN BE A FAIRLY EXPENSIVE THING, BUT YOU CAN ALSO DO IT CERTAIN WAYS. OUR MAIN ISSUE IS WE DON'T HAVE VERY MANY OF THEM THAT ARE LEVEL. AND WHEN YOU'RE HITTING YOUR FIRST SHOT FROM A TEE BOX, REGARDLESS IF YOU'RE A BEGINNER OR A PROFESSIONAL, YOU SHOULDN'T BE STANDING LIKE THIS, THIS, THIS, THIS, OR LOOKING FOR A PLACE TO GET A FAIRLY LEVEL STANCE. SO WHEN WE GO THROUGH OUR MEETING NEXT WEEK, I WILL. TOM AND I ALREADY SPOKE ABOUT THAT TODAY, BUT I'LL PICK OUT THE ONES THAT ARE REALLY BAD BECAUSE AGAIN, IT WOULD BE GREAT TO GET 15 FROM THEM AND THE CITY SUPPORT IT. BUT STILL, 30 IS NOT A WHOLE LOT. WHEN YOU TALK ABOUT CERTAIN RENOVATIONS, BUT THE ONES THAT ARE REALLY BAD AND I CAN GET IT DONE TO WHERE WE BASICALLY JUST STRIP THE WHATEVER KIND OF GRASS OR WEEDS IS ON THERE OR NOT ON THERE, AND GET OFF THE OLD SAND, OLD DIRT, AND WE LEVEL EVERYTHING OUT, BUILD A BED, SORT IT, AND THEN WE'RE DONE. SO WE CAN WE CAN SAVE MONEY IN THE WAY WE DO IT. IT WON'T DO ALL EVERY TEE BOX, EVERY HOLE. BUT THE ONES THAT ARE REALLY BAD, WHICH THERE'S QUITE A FEW. THAT'S WHAT WE WOULD LIKE TO ADDRESS. SO THAT'S THAT'S WHERE WE'RE LOOKING TO KIND OF SPEND THE MONEY IF IT COMES TO FRUITION. OTHER THAN THAT LET'S SEE HERE. I MET WITH KEVIN SULLIVAN TODAY BRIEFLY REGARDING THE UPCOMING LIONS CLUB TOURNAMENT, WHICH WE'RE EXCITED. THEY'RE HAVING THAT AGAIN THIS YEAR. LAST YEAR, THEY DECIDED NOT TO HAVE IT WITH THE JUST TOO MUCH STUFF GOING ON AT THAT TIME. SO THAT WAS A GOOD THING. THIS THE END OF MARCH, MARCH 28TH, WE ARE GOING TO HAVE A DEMO DAY, TAILOR MADE DEMO DAY. THAT'S ON THE SATURDAY. THEY'LL BE OUT FOR 4 OR 5 HOURS. IF EVEN IF YOU DON'T NEED CLUBS OR YOU THINK YOU KNOW WHAT GOLF BALL YOU NEED TO PLAY WITH COME OUT.

IT'S VERY INFORMATIVE, VERY EDUCATIONAL. I WAS ON TYLER'S STAFF FOR 25 YEARS, AND I'VE BEEN WITH TAILOR MADE FOR ABOUT FIVE, AND THE GUYS THAT THAT RUN THEM AND DO IT, THEY'RE VERY EDUCATED AND YOU LEARN A LOT OF STUFF. YOU KNOW, IN THE OLD DAYS I COULD TELL SOMEONE THAT, YOU KNOW, LISTEN, YOU'RE HITTING A REGULAR SHAFT. HERE'S WHAT IT'S DOING TO YOUR BALL FLIGHT AND WHY. AND EXPLAIN IT TO THEM WHEN THEY NEEDED A STIFF OR IN MOST CASES, ESPECIALLY WITH MEN, BECAUSE OF EGOS, YOU'RE HITTING THE SHAFT. THAT'S WAY TOO STIFF FOR YOU.

LET ME PUT YOU IN THIS SHAFT. LET'S HIT SOME SHOTS, SEE WHAT IT DOES. BUT THIS IS FINE TUNED.

[00:15:01]

YEAH, NO, I'M SURE YOU HAVE. YOU'RE JUST BASICALLY ASKING WHEN THE NEW PIPES ARE LAID.

ARE WE HITTING THEM RIGHT THEN AND THERE? RIGHT. YEAH. ARE WE PRESSURIZING THAT HOLE AND STARTING TO WATER THOSE HEADS? AND WITH THE WHOLE NEW SYSTEM, SO ON AND SO FORTH. SO AND I CAN ELABORATE A LOT MORE IN DEPTH THAN I DID. BUT AS I SAID, IF I KNOW IT 100%, I WILL. BUT GEORGE KNOWS IT 100%. AND I'LL I'LL GET AN ANSWER FOR YOU IN THE MORNING. PERFECT. GOTTA HOLD IT DOWN. NO. IT'S ON. THIS IS ON. IT'S STAYED ON. YEAH. GOOD. YEAH. YOU MENTIONED SOMETHING ABOUT MATCHING GRANT. 15 K PLUS CITY. THAT'S CALLED. IT'S CALLED PROJECT MONEY. OKAY.

FOR MUNICIPAL, BUT IT'S CALLED PROJECT MONEY. IS THERE ANYTHING THAT CAN BE DONE TO KIND OF ASSURE THAT YOU GET THE RIGHT ANSWER ON THAT? OR DO YOU NEED ANY HELP GETTING THE MATCHING FUNDS? WELL, ON THAT, WHAT I WILL DO. AND WE'LL TURN TO JESS A LITTLE BIT HERE AS WELL. BUT THIS IS THE WAY I SEE IT. I'M MEETING WITH THEM. I WILL FIND OUT WITHIN PROBABLY NO MORE THAN A MONTH. I WOULD THINK IF THEY'RE GOING TO OFFER ME THE GRANT, I FEEL 90% PLUS THEY WILL BASED ON SOME 30 YEAR RELATIONSHIPS I'VE HAD WITH PEOPLE THAT ARE INVOLVED. AND THEN ONCE THEY OFFER THAT WITH THE REPORT, THEY'RE GOING TO GIVE ME, AND THEN WHAT GEORGE AND I WOULD LIKE TO USE THE MONEY FOR, THEN WE'LL PRESENT THAT TO, WE'LL PUT IT ON AN AGENDA AND PRESENT IT TO CITY COUNCIL. OBVIOUSLY WORKING ON THE BUDGET THIS YEAR FOR NEXT FISCAL YEAR, WHICH WE'RE STARTING MUCH EARLIER THIS YEAR, WHICH IS A GOOD THING. SO WE'RE NOT RUSHING IN MAY OR JUNE. THAT WOULD BE PART OF IT. AND THE GOLF BUDGET AS FAR AS SAY THEY GAVE ME 15. WELL THEN I'M GOING TO HAVE 15 K SITTING THERE AS WELL PRESENTED TO COUNCIL. THEY VOTE ON IT. JESS CAN ELABORATE MORE. WELL, AS GREG SAID EARLIER, THE COUNCIL HAS BEEN VERY SUPPORTIVE OF OF OF, YOU KNOW, MATCHING GRANTS AND I EXPECT THEY WOULD BE SUPPORTIVE OF THIS AND CERTAINLY I WILL BE ADVOCATING FOR THAT. BUT I DON'T HAVE ANY GREAT CONCERNS THAT THAT THEY WILL NOT AS, AS A GROUP APPROVE. THAT SHOULD. I THINK GAGE HAS

[00:20:08]

ALL RIGHT. THANKS, JESS. ANY OTHER QUESTIONS? IS IT A GRANT THAT IS LIKE A ONE TIME THING, OR IS IT SOMETHING THAT YOU CAN APPLY FOR ANNUALLY OR. GOOD QUESTION. I WOULD PROBABLY THINK THEY HAVE A TIME TENURE ON IT. LIKE IF I APPROACH THEM AND GET IT THIS YEAR AND I MAY NOT BE ABLE TO GO BACK FOR FIVE YEARS BECAUSE I WAS LOOKING AT THE NUMBERS FROM THE PAST 3 OR 4 AS GOLF BUSINESS, YOU KNOW, AGAIN, JUST TO REITERATE, JASON, YOU DIDN'T HEAR THIS LAST MEETING. THERE WAS 82 MILLION ROUNDS OF GOLF PLAYED IN 25, WHICH BEAT 24 BY 7%. SO IT BECAME THE GREATEST. SO NOW WHAT WE'RE DOING IN THE GOLF BUSINESS IS WE'RE ALL PROS.

WE'RE TALKING AND SAY, WELL, WE'RE GOING TO HAVE MORE GOLFERS THIS YEAR THAN LAST YEAR BECAUSE IT JUST KEEPS GOING UP. SO I SAW THE NUMBERS ON THE GRANTS GIVEN, AND I DON'T KNOW WHAT THE TOTAL DOLLAR IS, BUT, YOU KNOW, 3 OR 4 YEARS AGO IT WAS LIKE IN YOUR 50S, 60 GRAND PLUS. AND THEN LAST YEAR IT WAS LIKE 140 GRAND, WHICH TELLS ME, YOU KNOW, OKAY, THEY'RE HITTING X NUMBER. I MEAN, IF IT'S TEN GRAND, THEY'RE GIVING AND THEY'RE HITTING 14 COURSES. SO WITH ALL THE GOLF, I'M SURE THERE'S A TIMETABLE THAT THEY HAVE TO ABIDE BY. HEY, IF WE'RE GIVING YOU MONEY, WE THINK YOU'RE WORTHY OF IT. AND IT'S IT'S VALID THAT YOU NEED IT. AND AND THEN I READ SOME STORIES AND KIND OF I MEAN, THERE WAS EVEN PEOPLE THAT DON'T REALLY HAVE MUCH OR COURSES THAT DON'T HAVE MANY TURF ISSUES LIKE WE'VE HAD, YOU KNOW, FOR THE PAST 5 OR 6 YEARS. THEY HELP WITH EQUIPMENT. YOU KNOW, IF THEY GO TO A PLACE AND SAY, OH MY GOD, LOOK AT THIS EQUIPMENT. IT'S ANCIENT. THEY NEED HELP. WELL, THEY'LL GIVE THEM 15,000. THEN THEY SHOW PICTURES OF THEIR OLD STUFF AND PICTURES OF THEIR NEW STUFF. AND SO GREAT THING. SO BACK TO THE IRRIGATION. AND I MIGHT ASK THIS BEFORE AND JUST FORGOT. DOES THE IRRIGATION CONTRACT THAT DOES COVER THE NEW PUMP HOUSES OR IS THAT A SEPARATE ONE. SO THERE'S A CO BOND OKAY. AND THAT C-O BOND. THE MONEY IN IT COVERS EVERYTHING FROM EFFLUENT TO IRRIGATION TO PUMP HOUSE TO THE POND ON 14. BUT IS THAT ALL IN THIS DIAMOND GOLF CONTRACT OR IS THERE A SEPARATE CONTRACTS? GOLF IS DOING THE IRRIGATION PROJECT. OKAY. I'M PRETTY SURE THAT, YOU KNOW, LISTENING TO VICTOR AND ERNEST THAT THEY'RE GETTING MAYBE SOME PROPOSALS ON THE PUMP PART OF IT, BECAUSE IT'S JUST NOT NUMBER TWO, YOU KNOW. SO 14 IS ABOUT TO FALL ON THE AGAIN. YEAH, I'VE KNOWN THAT FOR THREE YEARS I KNOW, I KNOW THREE YEAR ANNIVERSARY. WE ALL KEEP JOKING. WE JUST GO THERE AND PUSH IT WITH ONE FINGER. IT'S FINALLY GOING TO JUST GO. BUT I CAN GET THAT EXACT ANSWER FOR YOU IN THE MORNING. I JUST DIDN'T KNOW IF THEY WERE DOING THAT OR WAS IT A SEPARATE, SEPARATE PROPOSAL THAT'S GOING OUT? PRETTY SURE IT'S SEPARATE. WHAT ABOUT THE CONNECTION FROM 17 TO 2? IS THAT A DIFFERENT DEAL TOO, OR IS THAT THEM? NO. WELL, THAT'S ALL PART OF IT. I KNOW IT'S ALL PART OF THE BOND, BUT IT HAS THAT PART IS THAT PART FALL UNDER THE IRRIGATION OR IS IT OUTSIDE? I WILL DOUBLE CHECK FOR YOU. OKAY. THAT'S FINE. YEAH. SO IT'S THE SAME. I CAN FIND THIS OUT TOMORROW MORNING. THAT'S FINE. AS I SAID, VICTOR, THE PROJECT MANAGER, IS VERY ON TOP OF IT. SO YEAH, I'LL FIND OUT FOR YOU AND LET YOU KNOW. THANK YOU. YEAH. YOU BET. AND THEN I'LL KIND OF GET A I LISTENED TO HIM AND HEAR HIM, BUT, YOU KNOW, THERE'S ALL THESE PIECES AND PARTS. THE TIME FRAME HAS TO COUNT LOGISTICALLY. KIND OF COME TOGETHER REALLY GOOD. I'M ON PROJECTS LIKE THAT TOO, WHERE IT'S ALL OVER THE PLACE. I HAVE A SMALL PIECE OF IT AND, YOU KNOW, CAN ONLY SPEAK FOR MY PART. ANY OTHER MAINTENANCE PLANNED? I MEAN, LIKE FOR POLLYANNA AND THAT KIND OF STUFF. ARE WE HAVING, LIKE, WHAT? FOR THE PIANO THAT'S ON THE GREENS OR LIKE THAT? HE PUT IT PRE-EMERGE DOWN. OKAY. I DIDN'T KNOW THAT. YEAH. NO, IT'S THAT'S FIVE P'S. PRIOR PLANNING PREVENTS POOR PERFORMANCE. ASK ANY OF MY THREE KIDS. THEY KNOW IT BY HEART. YOU CAN THROW IN A6P, BUT I'M NOT GOING TO GO OVER THAT. THE NO. HE PUT DOWN A PRE-EMERGE AND REGARDLESS, EVEN WHEN YOU PUT IT DOWN, YOU'RE GOING TO SEE SOME. OH YEAH, OF COURSE. AND THEN ONCE IT GETS WARM ENOUGH IT'LL IT'LL BE HISTORY. I WAS JUST CURIOUS. THEN HE'LL ALSO SPRAY POST-EMERGE FOR AREAS WHERE, YOU KNOW, IT'S KIND OF HURTING. SO YEAH, THAT'S FINE. I WAS JUST SAYING IF, IF IT HAD BEEN SCOUTED BEEN DONE YET. I MEAN, YOU SEE IT EVERY YEAR AT THE

[00:25:03]

YEAH. SO THAT'S GOOD. AND AGAIN THAT'S EVERYTHING FOCUS WISE IS ON THE GREENS. BUT THAT'S WHEN THINGS YOU KNOW I TALK ABOUT I TALK ABOUT REVENUES AND BREAKING EVEN AND GETTING IN THE BLACK. THOSE NUMBERS DEFINITELY HAVE TO BE THERE BECAUSE ONCE WE HAVE GRASS EVERYWHERE MEANING TEE BOXES AND FAIRWAYS, WELL, THEN THERE'S A LOT OF PRACTICES AGRONOMICALLY THAT WE'LL BE DOING, WHICH HAVEN'T BEEN DONE HERE SINCE GEORGE AND I HAVE BEEN DONE HERE, WHICH IS THREE YEARS. SO HE'S BEEN HERE ABOUT THREE AND A HALF. I'M ALMOST THREE. YEAH. SO ANY OTHER QUESTIONS FOR GREG? ON ONCE? I DON'T TWICE. OKAY. THANKS, GREG.

YEAH YOU BET. AND AGAIN HIT ME. REMIND ME TOMORROW MORNING I MEAN I'LL REMEMBER. BUT SHOOT ME AN EMAIL OR A TEXT. AND JASON, YOU DO THE SAME THING. THANK YOU. I DO WANT TO GO BACK TO A QUESTION TO JESSE OR JEFF. SORRY, IT'S THE COUNT. IS THE CITY EXPECTING US TO DO ALL OUR COMMUNICATION THROUGH THE CITY? EMAILS THAT WERE GIVEN TO US? IS THAT THEIR PREFERENCE? I GUESS, IS MY QUESTION. YES. OKAY. AND. SO YOU CAN YOU CAN USE THE PLACE ONE FOR ME, FOR EXAMPLE. OR YOU CAN USE JESS HALL AT LAGO VISTA, TEXAS. THAT'S FINE. I MEAN, I KNOW WE WERE JUST GIVING THOSE EMAIL ADDRESSES, AND I JUST WANTED TO SEE IF, YOU KNOW, MAKE EVERYBODY AWARE THAT I DO THINK THAT THAT'S THE PREFERENCE, THAT WHEN I SENT OUT ANY TYPE OF COMMUNICATION ABOUT OUR MEETINGS AND SO FORTH AND SO ON, THAT'S WHERE IT'S GOING TO COME.

SO IF YOU HAVEN'T SET UP THOSE ADDRESSES, PROBABLY NEED TO. SO DO YOU WANT ME TO JUST EMAIL YOU FOR THAT FOR THE CITY EMAIL ADDRESS. HAS ANYBODY HAD ANY ISSUES SETTING THAT UP AT ALL? OKAY. 30S AWAY AND I'LL GIVE IT TO YOU. IT'S IN AN ENVELOPE WITH YOUR NAME ON IT. OKAY.

ANYWAY, OVER AT THE YOU PROBABLY NEED TO READ IT. THE PRO SHOP. YEAH. OKAY. I'LL PROBABLY SEND, YOU KNOW, KIND OF DO IT BOTH FOR A COUPLE OF MONTHS TILL WE ALL GET USED TO IT. BUT THEN EVENTUALLY WE'LL, WE'LL WEAN OFF AND JUST KIND OF STICK TO THE CITY EMAILS THAT WE HAVE. SO. ALL RIGHT. THANKS. ALL RIGHT. THANKS, GREG. THANKS, GREG. GOOD EVENING. HALL I'M GOING TO DISBAND THE ROCK. SO WHEN EVERYONE WALKS OUT, IT WILL AUTOMATICALLY HAVE A GOOD

[IV.1. Approval of the February 3, 2026, Golf Course Advisory Committee Minutes.]

[IV.2. Consideration and possible action regarding GCAC 2026 work plan activities.]

BUT YOU KNOW, WE HOPE TO GET A LITTLE BIT OF FEEDBACK ON THAT. IT WAS IT TURNED OUT GOOD KIND OF LAST YEAR GAVE US, YOU KNOW, A LITTLE HOPE OF WHERE WHERE THINGS ARE GOING. SO I DID WANT TO BRING THAT UP THAT MICHAEL DID EMAIL ME YESTERDAY AND TOLD ME THAT. SO THAT'S WHERE HE'S AT ON THAT. OKAY. DO YOU HAVE ANY THING YOU WANT TO SAY ABOUT THE DECK? BECAUSE I KNOW THAT'S A BIG CHANGE THAT'S COMING WITH THEM. THEIR WHOLE SYSTEM IS KIND OF BRANCHING OUT O THE

[00:30:07]

EDAC IS ACTUALLY GOING THROUGH A TRANSITION RIGHT NOW TO THE EDC, ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT CORPORATION, CORRECT. FOR FOR A NUMBER OF REASONS. BUT FROM OUR STANDPOINT, IT'LL BE RELATIVELY TRANSPARENT. RIGHT. AND SO WE'RE SET UP TO MEET WITH THAT GROUP AT THEIR NEXT REGULAR MEETING ON MARCH 10TH. AND KIND OF JUMP START AGAIN. THE DISCUSSIONS WE WERE HAVING ABOUT HOW WE COULD PULL OUR PRIORITIES TOGETHER AND WORK WITH THEM, PROJECTS THAT ARE BOTH GOOD FOR THE ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT OF THE GENERAL COMMUNITY, AND ALSO TO THE BENEFIT OF THE GOLF COURSE. SO WE THINK THERE'S SOME REAL SYNERGY THERE. AND LIKE I SAID, WE'LL BE MEETING WITH THEM IN A FEW WEEKS TO GET THAT GOING AGAIN. ALSO, WE'RE GOING TO MARCH RIGHT SOME DAY IN MARCH, MARCH 10TH, I BELIEVE. I BELIEVE IT'S HOPEFULLY NOT THE 10TH TUESDAY. HOPEFULLY IT'S NOT THE 10TH, BUT WE'LL TALK ABOUT IT. THEN. JACK AND I ARE FOLLOWING UP ON ON OUR SUBTOPIC REGARDING HOW TO ESTABLISH FINANCIAL VALUE. WHAT IS FINANCIAL VALUE. AND WE'RE GOING TO BE MEETING THURSDAY WITH JESS AND THE MAYOR TO KIND OF TALK THROUGH SOME HIGH LEVEL QUESTIONS ON THAT, WHAT WE SHOULD CONSIDER. AND IN ESTABLISHING THAT VALUE, HOW WE SHOULD BUILD OUR METRICS AND AND THINGS LIKE THAT, AND JUST JUMP IN ANYTIME YOU WANT ON THIS. JESS HAD ADVISED ME THAT THE CITY IN GENERAL IS GOING TO BE LOOKING AT A PROJECT TO COME UP WITH A MORE SIMPLIFIED FORMATTING FOR FINANCIAL REPORTING, OKAY, WHICH WE KIND OF KICKED AROUND AS IT RELATED TO THE GOLF COURSE. AND SO EVENTUALLY WHAT WE TALKED TO JESS AND THE MAYOR ABOUT AND THE REST OF COUNCIL WILL WORK INTO THAT OVERALL PROJECT THE CITY IS DOING. I HOPE I DIDN'T GET OUT ON A LIMB TOO FAR WHEN I SAID THAT, THAT THE GCAC WOULD BE WILLING TO KIND OF SERVE AS A GUINEA PIG ON GOLF COURSE FINANCIALS AND HELP THE CITY COME UP WITH AN OVERALL SET OF PLANS FOR FINANCIAL REPORTING. SO THAT MEETING IS GOING TO HAPPEN ON THURSDAY. JESS, ANYTHING YOU WANT TO ADD ON THAT ONE? WELL, JUST ELABORATE A LITTLE BIT. THERE ARE SIGNIFICANT CHANGES IN THE WORKS THAT WILL IMPROVE THE THE USABILITY OF OUR FINANCIAL SYSTEM. SO THEY'RE WORKING ON A NEW CHART OF ACCOUNTS WHICH WILL BE PUT IN PLACE AND WORKING ON THE NEW SOFTWARE FOR OUR ACCOUNTING SYSTEM. AND SO THEY'RE REALLY GOING THROUGH CLEANING UP. AND AND THEY, YOU KNOW, THERE'S A AGREEMENT THAT IT'S A LITTLE DIFFICULT TO GET THE INFORMATION OUT SOMETIMES THAT WE WANT IN AN EASILY UNDERSTANDABLE FORMAT. SO I'M LOOKING FORWARD TO SIGNIFICANT CHANGES I DON'T KNOW WHAT. YOU KNOW. WE CAN DISCUSS WHAT THE COMMITTEE WANTS IN THE SHORT TERM WHILE THAT'S BEING DONE. SO THAT MAY TAKE SEVERAL MONTHS TO ACCOMPLISH THAT. THANK YOU.

I KNOW MIKE, HE'S KIND OF OUR PARKS AND RECS LIAISON ON THAT. SO WE'LL JUST KIND OF WAIT TILL HE COMES BACK NEXT, NEXT TIME TO SEE IF HE'S MADE ANY MEETINGS OVER THERE TO SEE IF THERE'S ANYTHING WE CAN PARTNER WITH ON THEM. SO SO THOSE ARE THE TWO COMMITTEES, JASON, THAT WE KIND OF LOOKED AT. WELL, ONE THAT'S NOW INCORPORATING ITSELF THAT WE SEE THAT THERE'S CROSSOVER AND WE WANT TO SEE IF THERE'S ANYTHING THAT WE CAN DO TO KIND OF PARTNER UP ON CERTAIN THINGS. LAST YEAR IT WAS THE PICKLEBALL NET AND ALL THAT THAT WE KIND OF WERE ALL ABOUT. AND SO THAT'S THE WHOLE REASON THAT WE HAVE THAT. SO THOSE ARE KIND OF OUR WORK PLAN ACTIVITIES FOR THE, FOR THE FOR THE SEASON. ONE THING THAT I DON'T KNOW IF Y'ALL SAW THE EMAIL, I KNOW WE TALKED LAST WEEK A LITTLE BIT ABOUT SOME ADVERTISEMENTS AND STUFF. GREG

[00:35:01]

ON PARTNERING WITH THE CHAMBER OF COMMERCE, WITH THAT, WITH HELPING GET, YOU KNOW, ADVERTISING, YOU KNOW, FOR THE HOLES AND THINGS LIKE THAT, TO MAYBE BRING IN SOME REVENUE.

AND SO THOSE ARE THE THINGS THAT I KNOW THAT I HAVE IN MY MIND. YES, JASON, WITH THE CHAMBER OF COMMERCE, I DON'T KNOW IF ANY OF YOU HAVE SEEN THE NEW NEWSPAPER THAT JUST CAME OUT A WEEK OR SO AGO. IT'S CALLED THE NORTH SHORE NAVIGATOR. IT ACTUALLY HAS JONESTOWN, LAGO VISTA AND POINT VENTURE. I JUST FOR THE BACK OF OUR MINDS, WHENEVER WE DO GET TO THAT POINT TO LOOK AT ADVERTISING OR PUTTING NOTIFICATIONS IN THERE, AWESOME.

ABSOLUTELY. WE TALKED ABOUT THAT TODAY. AS FAR AS WE JUST OH, I'M SORRY. WE JUST HAD OUR BIG TEE OFF PARTY AND WE WERE WE WERE GOING TO SUBMIT PHOTOS AND INFORMATION FOR THE NEWSPAPER TO PUBLICIZE THAT. SO PROMOTE THE WOMEN'S GOLF ASSOCIATION. AWESOME. I THINK SOME ONE OTHER THING THAT WE DID BRING UP WAS NOW YOU MADE ME JUST LOSE MY TRAIN OF THOUGHT WHEN YOU SAID THAT. NO, YOU'RE NO, NO, YOU'RE FINE. IT'LL COME BACK TO ME. WE'LL HAVE TO COME BACK TO IT IF I CAN COME BACK TO ME IN A MINUTE. ANY OTHER? YEAH, IT WAS ANY OTHER WORK PLAN? ACTIVITIES YOU FEEL LIKE WE NEED TO DISCUSS? YEAH. MIKE, THIS IS STILL MONTHS AWAY, BUT IT PROBABLY WOULDN'T BE A BAD IDEA FOR US IN THE BACK OF OUR HEAD TO BE THINKING ABOUT WHETHER WE WANT TO BE ORGANIZED AT A LEVEL WHERE WE CAN GIVE A WORK PLAN UPDATE TO COUNCIL IN JUNE OR JULY OR SOMETHING LIKE THAT. YES, I AGREE, WE'LL WORK ON THAT. WE'LL GET TOGETHER ON THAT. ANY HELP THAT WE CAN GET ON THAT, WE'LL, YOU KNOW, WE'LL HAVE TO PULL JASON AND WE MIGHT PULL YOU IN. AND USUALLY A LOT OF THINGS THAT THE CHAIR AND THE VICE CHAIR DO, BUT WE'RE GOING TO RELY ON GAGE AND WHOEVER ELSE WHO WANTS TO HELP OUT FOR US TO GET THAT, GET THAT HAPPY TO HELP WHERE I CAN. YEAH, I STILL REMEMBER I WAS GOING TO SAY, SO WE'LL MOVE ON ON THAT. ANY OTHER THING ON THE WORK, ON THE WORK PLAN ACTIVITIES? I WOULD LIKE TO JUST HAVE I MEANT TO PUT THIS ON THE AGENDA, BUT OPEN DISCUSSION. IS THERE ANY OPEN DISCUSSION ITEMS ANYBODY HAS THEY'D LIKE TO BRING UP, YOU KNOW, IDEAS FOR US TO TO MAYBE ADD TO THE WORK PLAN ACTIVITIES OR JUST, YOU KNOW, THINGS IN GENERAL THAT IN THE FUTURE WE MIGHT WANT TO ASK GREG OR WHATEVER THE CASE MAY BE. SINCE IT'S FULLY OPEN DISCUSSION, I AM WILLING TO HELP WHERE I CAN. I WORK AS MICHAEL DOES, BUT IF YOU GUYS NEED MY HELP ON ANY OF THESE THINGS, I CAN MAKE TIME TO TO HELP OUT IN ANY WAY.

THAT'S WHY I JOINED THIS IS TO HELP OUT AS MUCH AS POSSIBLE, BECAUSE I CARE ABOUT THE GOLF COURSE AND I CARE ABOUT WHERE WE'RE GOING. AND IF I CAN HELP IN ANY WAY. PLEASE DON'T HOLD BACK IN ASKING. IF I CAN'T, I'LL TELL YOU I CAN'T. I THINK ONE OF THE THINGS WE'RE GOING TO AT SOME POINT WANT TO DO AGAIN, AND I'M NOT SURE THE SOURCE OF ALL THE DATA LAST YEAR, BUT PROBABLY, YOU KNOW, HAVING COMPS TO ME IS ALWAYS THE BEST THING TO USE WITH THE COUNCIL, ETC. SO DELAWARE SPRINGS AND I THINK CRYSTAL FALLS ARE ALWAYS SORT OF THE TWO CLOSEST COMPS. SO AT SOME POINT GETTING THEIR LATEST INFORMATION. AND I THINK LARRY USED TO WORK MAYBE WITH GREG TO GET IT. I KNOW SUSIE I GOT I GOT A LOT OF IT. YEAH, YEAH. SO AT SOME POINT IT FEELS LIKE WE SHOULD PROBABLY AT LEAST GET UPDATED NUMBERS FOR SORT OF THE LATEST, MAYBE LIKE THE YEAR OF 2025. I REALLY THINK THE BEST TIME TO DO THAT IS WHEN THE IRRIGATION SYSTEM IS FINISHED. I MEAN, WE KNOW WHERE WE ARE RIGHT NOW IN RELATION TO ALL THESE OTHER GOLF COURSES. I MEAN, WE'VE GOT THE, THE, THE, THE RATES, AND WE HAVE EVERYTHING FROM THESE OTHER GOLF COURSES RIGHT NOW AND HOW MANY ROUNDS THEY DO AND EVERYTHING ELSE. ONCE OUR IRRIGATION SYSTEM GETS IN, THAT'S THE TIME TO LOOK AND SEE.

[00:40:02]

SO IF ANYTHING, IF HE CAME TO US AND HE SAID, WELL, YEAH, I'D LIKE TO GET THAT INFORMATION, YOU CAN ACTUALLY GO INTO CITY WEBSITES AND PULL THAT INFORMATION OFF THERE. I MEAN, THAT STUFF IS PUBLIC. SO BUT YEAH, THAT'S SOMETHING THAT LIKE I SAID, WE NEED TO ASK THAT IF WE WANT TO ASK HIM, CAN WE CAN WE DO THAT? YOU KNOW, THE ONE THING I DON'T EVER WANT TO DO IS STEP ON GREG'S TOES AS FAR AS WHAT HE'S TRYING TO ACCOMPLISH. I MEAN, WHEN, AFTER OUR MEETING LAST TIME, THAT'S WHAT I WAS GOING TO TALK ABOUT. IT JUST HIT ME. YOU KNOW, HE KIND OF THOUGHT WE WANTED TO GO OUT AND DO ADVERTISING, AND I WAS LIKE, IT WAS BROUGHT UP.

BUT WE WERE MAINLY TALKING ABOUT WANTING TO TELL PEOPLE WHAT THE IRRIGATION SYSTEM IS.

YOU KNOW, WHAT IT'S BEING USED FOR, THAT THERE'S THAT MISCONCEPTION OUT IN THE PUBLIC THAT THE CITY IS WASTING MONEY ON A GOLF COURSE WHEN IT'S LIKE, THAT'S NOT THE REALITY OF THE SITUATION. WE HAVE X AMOUNT OF WATER THAT WE HAVE TO DUMP FROM OUR EFFLUENT WATER SYSTEM, AND THAT'S WHERE THE IRRIGATION SYSTEM IS COMING IN, WHERE WE ARE NOT MEETING THOSE NEEDS. I MEAN, THOSE GOALS, THOSE GOALS, THOSE REQUIREMENTS. THANK YOU. THAT'S THE WORD I WAS LOOKING FOR REQUIREMENTS AT THIS TIME. I KNOW THAT THEY SHOT IT OUT AT THE CEDAR BREAKS UNTIL THEY WENT OVER THERE. AND THEN IT WAS THAT'S WHY YOU SEE NOW THEY'RE TRYING THEIR BEST TO GET WATER ON THE GOLF COURSE WHEREVER THEY CAN BECAUSE IT IS SOMETHING WE'RE NOT MEETING.

THOSE REQUIREMENTS AND THOSE REQUIREMENTS ARE YOU KNOW, THEY'RE THEY'RE BY LAW. THEY'RE YOU KNOW, THEY'RE OUR PERMIT WE HAVE WITH THEM. SO WE WERE KIND OF TALKING ABOUT THAT HOW WE CAN DO THAT. HOW CAN THE CITY HELP US SEND THAT INFORMATION OUT, WHETHER IT BE SOCIAL MEDIA, MAYBE THE NEWSPAPER? THAT'S WHAT I'M SAYING, SOMETHING LIKE THAT. WHEN WE START THE PROJECT, JUST THROW OUT. CORRECT. BUT THAT'S AGAIN, YOU KNOW, THAT'S I THINK THAT'S WHERE WE COME IN.

WE WE BRING IT TO JESS. YOU KNOW, IF SOMEBODY IF JESS WANTS TO GO WITH ONE OF OUR MEMBERS TO MEET WITH THE CITY MANAGER TO SEE WHAT WE CAN DO OR JUSTICE, LET'S GO DO IT ON HIS OWN. I THINK THAT'S WHERE WE COME IN. WE WANT TO SAY, HEY, THESE ARE OUR DESIRES. WHAT CAN WE DO? AND AND THEN WE KIND OF TAKE IT FROM THERE. I KNOW THAT IN THE PAST, SOME OF THE COMMITTEE MEMBERS WOULD GO STRAIGHT TO THE CITY MANAGER AND AND BE ABLE TO ASK THOSE QUESTIONS, AND I HAVE NO PROBLEM WITH THAT. BUT THEN AGAIN, I ALSO DON'T WANT TO CIRCUMVENT JESS AND HIS DUTIES AS WELL. SO I JUST THINK ANYTHING WE DO LIKE THAT WE NEED TO MAKE SURE THAT WE'RE WE'RE LETTING GREG AND JESS KNOW THAT THIS IS WHAT WE'RE WANTING TO, TO GO AND TRY TO DO. AND HERE'S THE HERE'S OUR REASON FOR IT. THAT RIGHT THERE, I THINK IS A BIG ONE. I DO THINK IT'S A MISCONCEPTION THAT, YOU KNOW, WE'VE TALKED ABOUT, I DON'T KNOW HOW MANY TIMES IN THIS MEETING ABOUT THAT BEING A MISCONCEPTION, BUT THERE'S THERE'S REALLY NO WAY FOR US HERE, SITTING HERE SAYING, WELL, LET'S GO DO IT. WE DON'T HAVE

[00:45:01]

I'M GLAD YOU MENTIONED THAT, BECAUSE IT WAS IN THE BACK OF MY MIND ABOUT TRYING TO GET THE WORD OUT ABOUT THE TIE IN WITH THE AFFLUENT, AND SOME PEOPLE HAVE THE IDEA THAT THE GOLF COURSE IS LIKE, WELL, THAT'S THE REAL REASON WHY WE'RE DOING ALL THIS STUFF. WELL, THERE'S ALL SORTS OF CORRECT INFORMATION. AND WHAT WHAT I WAS THINKING WAS WE COULD GET KIND OF A POSITION PAPER THAT WE ALL WOULD BE INFORMED ABOUT THAT IS AGREED TO BY OUR LIAISON AS WELL AS THE CITY. WE COULD BE ADVOCATES FOR SPREADING THE WORD SO WE WOULDN'T GET AS MUCH RESISTANCE FROM THE POPULACE WHO'S IGNORANT OF WHAT'S REALLY GOING ON. RIGHT. AND BUT WE NEED TO HAVE IT'S KIND OF LIKE, YOU KNOW, WHAT THE POLITICIANS DO ABOUT PUTTING OUT POSITION PAPERS ON ISSUES, AND YOU GOT TO CONSISTENT MESSAGE THAT'S GOING OUT RIGHT FROM THE CITY, FROM PEOPLE LIKE US, THAT WHEN YOU RUN INTO SOMEBODY AND THERE'S A, YOU AT LEAST GOT SOME AMMUNITION TO SAY, WAIT A SECOND. YOU KNOW, LET'S IT'S NOT JUST ABOUT WATERING THE GREENS HERE. YOU KNOW, THERE'S A WHOLE LOT OF OTHER STUFF GOING ON. THAT MEANS A LOT MORE, QUITE HONESTLY. IT MEANS A LOT MORE TO THE CITY THAN THE GOLF COURSE. NO, DEFINITELY. SO I WOULD JUST LIKE TO PROPOSE SOMETHING LIKE THAT AS WE THAT WE AND I'M NOT SURE WHO WE IS, BUT WE'VE GOT A POSITION PAPER THAT KIND OF HAS A LOT OF FACTS IN IT TALKS ABOUT THE EFFLUENT, TALKS ABOUT THE DOWNSTREAM. EFFECTS AS IT RELATES TO THE GOLF COURSE AND SO ON. RIGHT. AND I'M NOT SURE I'VE SEEN ANY I'M NOT SURE I'VE SEEN ANYTHING LIKE THAT. WHERE DOES THAT INFORMATION COME FROM. WELL, WHO AT THE CITY WOULD PUT OUT THAT INFORMATION IF WE COULD GET IT PUBLISHED IN THIS LITTLE NEWSPAPER, WHO WOULD WE CONTACT TO GIVE US THAT INFORMATION TO PUBLISH? AND THEY NEED TO KNOW ALSO THAT THERE'S ONLY ONE GOLF COURSE TAKING THAT WATER. IT USED TO BE TWO. RIGHT. THAT'S WHY THE I THINK WE ALL GOT THE NOTICES IN THE MAIL THAT THAT NUMBER IS CUT IN HALF, AND THERE'S GOING TO BE THE CONVERSATION ABOUT THAT. BUT THERE'S ONLY ONE GOLF COURSE. YEAH, I THINK THE NEW NEWSPAPER IS A GREAT WAY TO GET OUT THE WORD. IF WE KNEW WHO WOULD WRITE SOMETHING UP, I WOULD BE HAPPY TO TALK TO THE NEWSPAPER ABOUT, YOU KNOW, WHATEVER WE GET, IT WOULD HAVE TO BE AN OFFICIAL CITY. I COME FROM THE OFFICIAL CITY COMMENT. I THINK WHAT MIKE IS SAYING IS THAT WE KIND OF BECOME THEN THE ADVOCATES OF THAT AND, AND GET THE WORD OUT HOWEVER WE CAN GET OUT, BUT WE NEED TO GET SOMETHING FROM THE CITY SAYING BASICALLY, WHY WASN'T THERE A COMMISSION WHEN THIS WHOLE IRRIGATION GOT RELOOKED REMEMBER, PAUL WOULD TELL US, OH, WE'VE BEEN MEETING AND THERE WAS A WELL, THERE WAS A COMMITTEE. I'M SORRY, I DON'T MEAN TO CUT YOU OFF. YEAH. I'M THINKING THAT'S PROBABLY WHERE MOST OF THE KNOWLEDGE SITS. IS.

YEAH. THERE WAS A SUBCOMMITTEE PUT TOGETHER THAT KIND OF LOOKED AT, YOU KNOW, THEY KIND OF STARTED FROM SCRATCH WHENEVER THEY BROUGHT IN THE OTHER. RIGHT WHEN THE OTHER CONTRACT WAS AXED. WE KNOW PEOPLE WHO ARE ON THAT. AND THAT'S KIND OF WHY I DO HAVE SOME KNOWLEDGE, AS FAR AS, YOU KNOW, WHY WE DID WHAT WE DID. BUT THERE STILL THAT SUBCOMMITTEE I THINK IS IS STILL NOT WHERE IT NEEDS TO COME FROM. CAN WE GET INFORMATION? YES, BUT WE NEED SOMETHING FROM OFFICIALLY FROM ABSOLUTELY. PROBABLY THE CITY MANAGER. UNLIKELY. OR OR SOMEBODY FROM FROM THE COMMUNICATIONS DIRECTOR OF OF THE CITY. I DON'T CARE WHERE IT COMES FROM, BUT IT'S GOT TO COME SOMETHING FROM THE CITY THAT WE CAN BE ADVOCATES TO PUT IT OUT. IN THE LAST SIX MONTHS, THE THE BIGGEST, THE BIGGEST ADVOCATE OF EXPLAINING THE VALUE OF THE GOLF COURSE ON THINGS LIKE WHAT IT DOES FOR THE WASTEWATER SYSTEM HAS ACTUALLY BEEN COUNCIL. YES, A LOT OF POSITIVE COMMENTS COMING OUT OF COUNCIL ABOUT WHAT WHAT THAT IRRIGATION SYSTEM MEANS TO THE CITY OVERALL, AND NOT JUST TO THE TO THE GOLF COURSE. AND, AND I THINK IF WE'RE GOING TO DO ANYTHING, WE JUST NEED TO

[00:50:03]

YEAH I AGREE. AND SO I THINK WE JUST WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT WHAT WE DO IS COMPLIMENTARY TO WHAT THEY'RE DOING AND TAKE THEIR LEAD IN TERMS OF, HEY, THIS IS HOW GCAC CAN HELP US GET THE MESSAGE OUT THERE. CORRECT? I AGREE, AND I THINK I'VE SAID THAT IN OUR LAST MEETING THAT A COUPLE OF THE CITY COUNCIL MEMBERS WERE VERY GOOD. ADAM WAS WAS ONE OF THEM ABOUT, YOU KNOW, BENEFIELD AND GOING OUT IN THE LAGO VISTA COMMUNITY BOARD ON, ON FACEBOOK AND POSTING A WHOLE BUNCH OF STUFF ABOUT IT. I STILL THINK THAT THERE IS A NEED, THOUGH, TO KIND OF GO IN MORE DETAIL WHAT IT IS. AND AND CONSISTENTLY CORRECT. I AGREE WITH YOU BECAUSE THERE'S STILL FOLKS OUT IN THE COMMUNITY. I RUN INTO THEM FROM TIME TO TIME THAT ARE UNINFORMED. AND WHILE THE NEWSPAPER WOULD BE A GREAT SPOT, I'M NOT SURE THAT'S THE ONLY THING. NO, NO, I AGREE, I THINK IT'S THERE'S DIFFERENT AVENUES THAT WE'D HAVE TO LOOK AT. I MEAN, THERE'S SOME PEOPLE ARE GOING TO GRAVITATE TO THE NEWSPAPER, SOME PEOPLE ARE GOING TO GRAVITATE TO A SOCIAL MEDIA. YEAH. THERE'S THINGS OUT THERE THAT WE CAN THAT WE WOULD NEED TO LOOK AT. I THINK THE FIRST THING IS THAT WE WOULD NEED SOMEBODY TO STEP UP TO KIND OF TAKE THE LEAD AND SAY, OKAY, WHERE CAN WE GET THIS INFORMATION? AND KIND OF A, YOU KNOW WHAT? WHERE WE CAN GET A STATEMENT OF SAYING, THIS IS EXACTLY WHAT I MEAN, JUST A HIGH LEVEL BULLET POINT, I DON'T THINK, I DON'T THINK MOST PEOPLE EVEN REALIZE THIS IS A PERMIT. THIS IS SOMETHING THAT WE HAVE THAT IS, WE'RE BOUND TO TO GET WATER OUT ON. IT'S NOT THAT. IT'S JUST AN IRRIGATION SYSTEM. THERE'S SO MUCH MORE TO IT. AND AND THE WAY THAT THAT THING WORKS, YOU KNOW, AS FAR AS DOWN, DOWN TO THE ACREAGE OF HOW MUCH WATER NEEDS HAS TO GO THERE, IT'S YOU AND YOU CAN'T GO OVER ONE MONTH AND UNDER ANOTHER MONTH. I MEAN, YOU HAVE TO HIT THOSE NUMBERS EVERY SINGLE MONTH. AND SO THAT'S WHERE THAT THAT COMES INTO PLACE. I KNOW THE CITY HAS DONE EVEN THE MAYOR HAS DONE REAL WELL WHERE I'VE SEEN HIM PUT OUT. THEY'RE TRYING TO CHANGE THE WATER TYPE OVER, WHICH GIVES US EVEN MORE, YOU KNOW, ROOM TO JUST DISPERSE THIS WATER. RIGHT NOW, THE TYPE WE HAVE, THERE'S RESTRICTIONS THERE. YOU KNOW, WE CAN'T DO IT DURING THE MIDDLE OF THE DAY BECAUSE KIDS PLAY ON THE GOLF COURSE OR, YOU KNOW, MIGHT COME IN CONTACT WITH IT OR, YOU KNOW, WHATEVER THE CASE MAY BE, DUE TO THE TYPE OF WATER THAT WE'RE ABLE TO SEND OUT AT THIS TIME, I THINK THOSE ARE THE THINGS THAT PEOPLE THEY DON'T UNDERSTAND. RIGHT. IN FACT, I THINK SOME THERE'S SOME PEOPLE OUT THERE WHO STILL THINK WHEN THEY SEE A, YOU KNOW, I'VE SEEN IT ON FACEBOOK, PEOPLE COMMENT, OH MY GOSH, THE THERE, IT'S THE MIDDLE OF THE SUMMER AND THEY'RE OUT THERE SHOOTING A SPRINKLER OFF ON HOLE THREE. THE CITY IS JUST WASTING MONEY. IT AIN'T WASTING MONEY. I MEAN, THEY'RE JUST TRYING. THEY'RE TRYING TO MEET THEIR PERMIT. AND THAT'S THE ONE TIME THE GUY COULD GET OUT THERE TO UNCLOG A, YOU KNOW, A HEAD TO ACTUALLY GET THE WATER OUT. BUT THAT'S HOW PEOPLE THINK. I MEAN, THEY'RE LIKE, OH, WHAT A WASTE OF MONEY THAT WE'RE DOING STUFF LIKE THAT. PEOPLE JUST DON'T KNOW. WE DON'T THEY DON'T KNOW. IT'S JUST UNINFORMED LIKE WE I SAW TODAY, YOU KNOW, SOMEBODY WAS TALKING ABOUT THE OLD GOLF COURSE AND TURNING IT INTO A RACETRACK OR SOMETHING. AND IT'S LIKE PEOPLE JUST DON'T KNOW THAT. IT'S NOT THAT SIMPLE.

YOU CAN'T JUST, YOU KNOW, YOU CAN'T JUST GO OVER THERE AND SAY, WE'RE GOING TO TURN THIS PROPERTY INTO THIS. IT'S ZONED FOR A GOLF COURSE. AND, YOU KNOW, THERE'S JUST SO MUCH. BUT THAT'S WHERE PEOPLE THERE ARE. THEY'RE UNINFORMED. WE CAN'T WE DON'T HAVE ANY CONTROL OF THAT.

I WAS JUST POINTING OUT, YOU KNOW, THAT THAT'S WHERE PEOPLE, THEY SEE THINGS THEY DON'T AND THEY DON'T UNDERSTAND. AND I DO DON'T THINK THE CITY DOES A GOOD JOB, IN MY OPINION, OF GETTING THE WORD OUT ON A LOT OF THAT STUFF THAT BUT, YOU KNOW, WE'RE ALSO TALKING ABOUT A CITY WHOSE COUNCIL IS VOLUNTEERS. THEY'RE NOT FULL TIME EMPLOYEES. AND SO THEREFORE THEIR TIME, YOU KNOW, SOME OF THEM HAVE CAREERS STILL THEY'RE BUSY. AND SO I GET IT, I UNDERSTAND. SO I THINK THAT'S WHERE WE CAN COME IN AND KIND OF LIGHTEN THAT LOAD AND BE ADVOCATES AND TRY TO GET SOME OF THE MESSAGES OUT SPECIFIC TO WHERE OUR COMMITTEE IS. AND MAYBE IF WE DO THAT, THEN MAYBE SOME OF THE OTHER COMMITTEES WILL MAYBE FOLLOW SUIT. AND IF IT'S SOMETHING WITH PARKS AND REC, MAYBE THEY'RE, YOU KNOW, ADVOCATING GETTING THE WORD OUT AND SO FORTH AND SO ON. SO THAT'S MY STAND ON IT. JUST IS THAT SOMETHING YOU CAN JUST PUT TO YOUR COLLEAGUES? WELL, YES. IN FACT, AS WAS MENTIONED, THE CITY COUNCIL HAS BEEN VERY SUPPORTIVE BECAUSE WE UNDERSTAND CLEARLY THAT THE GOLF COURSE IS AN ESSENTIAL PART OF OUR EFFLUENT DISPERSAL SYSTEM. I MEAN, IT'S NOT OPTIONAL. IT IS A CRITICAL ELEMENT OF THAT. AND IN FACT, WE'RE LOOKING FORWARD TO THE NEW SPRINKLER SYSTEM AND TO USE THAT, YOU KNOW, EVEN MORE APPROPRIATELY AND EVENLY TO IMPROVE NOT ONLY THE GOLF COURSE, BUT, YOU KNOW, TO MAYBE ADD ADD AS MUCH AS WE CAN TO THE DISPERSAL. SO SO WE

[00:55:04]

AND AND SO THAT IS A THAT IS A VERY CRITICAL ELEMENT. EVEN WITH THAT, THAT'S NOT GOING TO BE ENOUGH FOR THE FUTURE. AND SO THE CITY IS LOOKING AT TYPE ONE WASTEWATER, WHICH CAN BE, YOU KNOW, PUT IN OTHER LOCATIONS AND IT WILL BE VERY CLEAN WATER. SO IT CAN BE DONE DURING THE DAY. IT WON'T HAVE TO WORRY ABOUT PEOPLE COMING IN CONTACT WITH IT BEFORE IT DRIES.

SO, SO LOTS OF LOTS OF WORK IN, IN THE PLANNING STAGE. AND YOU KNOW, I'M LOOKING AT, YOU KNOW, JUST ADDITIONAL COMMUNICATIONS EVEN EVEN YESTERDAY ABOUT, YOU KNOW, POSSIBLE LOCATIONS WHERE WE CAN ADD TO OUR DISPERSAL SYSTEM. BUT AGAIN, IT IS CRITICAL, I THINK, IN TERMS OF TIMING IT THE PROBABLY THE BEST TIME TO REALLY PUT A LOT OF EMPHASIS GETTING THE WORD OUT IS THIS FALL WHEN WHEN THE SYSTEM IS COMPLETELY OPERATIONAL, DO YOU SYSTEM AND THEN WE'LL HAVE WE CAN TALK ABOUT IT FROM A LOT OF WAYS AND A LOT IN TERMS OF BOTH IMPROVING THE GOLF COURSE AND THE PLAYABILITY OF THAT AND THE ATTRACTIVENESS OF IT, WHICH WILL INCREASE THE REVENUES, BUT ALSO AS, YOU KNOW, BETTER, BETTER DISPERSAL AND THE FACT THAT WE'RE NOT PAYING FOR WE'RE NOT PAYING FOR WATER, WE'RE ACTUALLY USING THAT TO, TO GET RID OF WATER THAT WE, THAT WE HAVE TO GET RID OF. SO, SO YES, I THINK THAT'S, THAT'S ALL PART OF IT. I WILL BE. DURING THE ALL OF OUR WATER AND WASTEWATER SYSTEM. ERIC AND I WILL BE DOING THAT WITH ERNEST. AND I'VE GOT 2 OR 3 TIMES THAT HAVE JUST BEEN SENT TO ME TODAY. SO I'LL BE PICKING ONE OF THOSE IN THE NEXT COUPLE OF DAYS WHERE WE'LL GO OUT AND AND TOUR THE SYSTEMS. I'LL HAVE A CHANCE TO TALK WITH WITH THEM ABOUT, YOU KNOW, HOW HOW WE CAN MAKE A BETTER CASE FOR THAT FINANCIALLY IN TERMS OF OF THE ESSENTIAL NATURE OF THAT AND THE SAVINGS WHILE WHILE WE'RE OUT TOURING. BUT I'M VERY INTERESTED I'M VERY INTERESTED IN SEEING FIRSTHAND OUR FACILITIES. I HAVE NOT HAD A CHANCE TO DO THAT. I'VE HEARD ABOUT THEM, READ ABOUT THEM. BUT THIS WILL BE MY FIRST CHANCE TO ACTUALLY GO OUT AND SEE THEM AND SEE ALL OF IT. AND AND SO THAT'S THAT'S KIND OF CRITICAL AS WE MOVE FORWARD THIS YEAR AND FOR OUR PLANNING OVER THE NEXT FEW YEARS, JUST FOR OUR FUTURE. IF SOMETHING HAPPENS, YOU GET ON THE GOLF COURSE, YOU GOT A WHOLE 14. DON'T PUSH THAT. THAT BUILDING WITH YOUR WITH YOUR FINGER. YEAH. WHERE WERE YOU WHEN SOMEBODY ACCIDENTALLY HITS A GOLF BALL OVER AND HIT IT? WE'RE JUST WAITING FOR IT TO JUST FALL APART. YEAH I HAVE SEEN THAT ONE. I DEFINITELY HAVE SEEN THAT ONE. YEAH. OKAY. ANY OTHER ITEMS THAT WE WANT TO TALK ABOUT ON OPEN DISCUSSION? THIS IS YOUR TIME. IF NOT, WE'LL MOVE ON AND TALK ABOUT

[IV.3. Consideration and possible action regarding Golf Course Advisory Committee (GCAC) Future Meeting Dates.]

AND I ACTUALLY GOT AHOLD OF OUR FORMER CHAIRMAN AND SAID, WHAT THE HECK DO I DO? AND SO IF HE'S WATCHING A SHOUT OUT TO LARRY FOR SENDING ME HIS TEMPLATE FOR GETTING ME OFF THE HOOK ON THAT ONE, I, I WAS ALMOST LATE. SO, SO THANK YOU FOR THAT. BUT YEAH, MAKE SURE YOU SEND ME, YOU KNOW, IF YOU HAVE ANY AGENDA ITEMS YOU WOULD LIKE TO DISCUSS, WE CAN BRING THOSE UP AS WELL. AND WITH THAT, I'LL JUST LOOK, UNLESS ANYBODY HAS ANYTHING ELSE, WE'LL LOOK FOR A MOTION TO ADJOURN OUR MEETING. HOW ABOUT THAT MOTION TO ADJOURN? A SECOND
