Board Members Present:

John Long Kevin Poppe Jim Kemling

Tim Meyer Jerod Burge Gloria Patrick

Board Member elect, Jorje Geisert

Absent, Superintendent Troy Kemling

Before the meeting was called to order, John indicated that he had some inquires about selling of the Golf Club. He had talked to the City of Grant for some input as the possibility of this happening. They indicated they would be willing to talk about it. Only discussion was held at this time.

At 7:15 PM, President John Long called the meeting to order. No minutes were read or approved.

Discussion of how to handle the applications for the position of superintendent was held. Following discussion, Kevin Poppe, Jim Kemling and Tim Meyer volunteered to serve as the interview committee and will bring recommendations back to the board at a later meeting. There was discussion on how to offer the job: 1) Superintendent and club house manager or 2) Superintendent and club house manager as separate jobs.

Jim gave the financial report. There has been no money received for the water purchased by REX Pipeline. Gloria indicated that she thought it was in the process of being paid. The board feels that REX owes for labor, pipe rental and pipe repairs that were incurred to get the water for them. Tim moved and Gloria seconded that Jim and Troy submit and written invoice covering these costs. Motion carried.

Gloria mentioned that Star and Jim put in many hours doing the books for the club and felt that they should be compensated for this. John moved and Tim seconded to give them their ‘08 club membership in compensation for this. Motion carried.

Budget planning was done. The following tables indicate the recommended rates for 2008.

We also included in the budget money to finish putting metal roofing on the club house and a shade over the deck on the north and east sides of the club house.

Items that have been purchased are a trimmer and a sprayer. The need of a utility vehicle was again discussed. Kevin says that Eichners can modify a gas cart for this use. More research needs to be done on it.

Jim moved and Jerod seconded that we bring the pump fund of $791.32 up to a $5000 amount and take out a CD for 1 year. Motion carried. Jim will research the amounts. This will be funded with one of the CD’s that is coming due. Jim will reinvest the money that is available.

Discussion of an annual meeting was held. Since we do not get a good turn out for a meeting it was suggested that we try a spring social to accompany the annual meeting. Jorje Geisert volunteered to head up this committee. She will ask Connie Styskal and Gloria Patrick to help her.

A special meeting will be called when the interview committee has a recommendation to make regarding the hiring of a Superintendent.

Meeting adjourned at 9:20 PM.
