APPROVAL OF LAST MONTH'S MINUTES The minutes from the meeting that was held on March 21, 2012 were approved. III. GENERAL MANAGER S REPORT The new Course Trends website went live on April 10, 2012. There have been some issues but most have been resolved and we are working on the others. The site looks great and the functionality on the administrative side is a huge improvement. There is a delay on the member statements on the site. This is being worked on and we currently have an alternative plan which will be communicated to the membership. American Pool Management has been on site in the past two weeks to remove pool cover and discuss staffing issues. Julie Laux, a former Wildwood Assistant Pool Manger has accepted the position of Pool Manager this year. Nearly 80% of the 2012 staff will be returning lifeguards. The pool has been prepped for repair work and Harry McBride and his staff are making repairs where needed. The handicap access steps have been ordered to comply with the ADA and the request of elderly members. Mr. Daversa has decided to delay the seat lift as the Department of Justice has postponed the requirements for 60 days and will probably extend for to 180 days which will take most facilities past the season. The updated pool information will be posted
Page 2 on the website by the end of the week. The tennis courts have been resurfaced and re-lined. The courts will be open for play Saturday April 28, 2012. Mr. Daversa will be updating the website with information he has received from Greg Rymer. The Golf Handbook was delivered in time for opening day and has been placed in the lockers of all Golf Members. The Yardage book is in print and should be available by April 27, 2012. Steve Gonzalez has sent an application for a Social C Membership. Mr. Daversa asked if there was something the Board would like to do for Mr. Gonzalez, as this was discussed at a previous meeting. After a brief discussion the Board agreed to waive the Initiation Fee for Mr. Gonzalez. IV. PRESIDENT S REMARKS Mr. Minnaugh asked that the committee chairman go over the high points of their reports and he would offer any comments throughout. V. COMMITTEE REPORTS A. House Committee Mr. Quinlan Mr. Quinlan and Mr. Daversa have decided on the furniture from Levin s. The cost for the patio Furniture is around $25,000. It would take 1 1/2 golf outings to barter for the patio Furniture. The T.V. s have been ordered and will be installed on the back deck. They are being donated by a member. The back deck is all ready for the season. The side deck needs carpeting, lights and painted. The short term requests from the House Committee are chairs for the Ballroom $20,000, Tea-room upgrade $12,000, and Grill-room carpet $10,000. Chef Dave Stover is up for his quarterly performance review. Mr. Quinlan reviewed the Revenues, labor costs and counts both budgeted and achieved, recommending
Page 3 Chef Stover receive his full bonus for the Quarter. Motion for Chef Stover to receive his full bonus for the 2 nd Quarter of FY 2012 Mr. Scott 2 nd All in favor- Approved B. Pool Mr. DeVita The Pool Committee has unanimously agreed that a pool bar would be a good enhancement to the pool area. The bar would be located under the pavilion. The bar would be designed so it could be moved if necessary. The bar will accommodate 12 stools. Harry McBride has estimated the cost of the bar to be between $9,000 and $13,000 to include materials and bar stools. The unknown is labor associated with this project. Recommendation to build a Bar under the Pavilion Mr. Wickett 2 nd All in favor - Approved The Pool Committee would like to add plantings around the pool to give a better appearance. The intent is to use perennial and annuals. The Committee is scheduling a meeting with Brian Bartsch of Bartsch Greenhouse and Nursery. The cost should be around $1,500 - $2,000. The Committee would also like to have more shaded area. They are looking into getting umbrellas for shade. Mr. Minnaugh asked Mr. DeVita to get an estimate and then discuss with Mr. Daversa and Mr. Borza if there is enough in the budget to do these projects and to proceed. C. Golf Dr. Lagnese There are 42 participants signed up for the Men s Invitational. Mr. Hough has contacted all the new members to schedule a round of golf with one of the Pros. Dr. Lagnese discussed the phone issue with Mr. Hough. Dr Lagnese and Mr. Hough are in agreement that people should not be put on hold if the lines
Page 4 are busy it will go to the answering machine. The Proshop sent an email to remind people to leave a message. A non member resident asked about playing in golf events and buying golf passes. The non resident may play n golf events but cannot win per the rules in the Golf Handbook. They may also buy passes but cannot use the passes to pay for their round of golf, as they are for Guest usage. The 18-Hole and 9-Hole couples events will be better coordinated and both are open to all couples. The formats will be determined by the sponsoring group. Dr. Lagnese was approached for Wildwood to participate in the senior interclub. If Wildwood participates there would only be carts fees. If anyone is interested they would need to organize and handle the Senior Interclub. D. Entertainment Dr. Lagnese We have two events coming up this weekend Beer Tasting and A Taste of Spain. There are 20 people signed up for each of these events. Upcoming events are Derby Day and a Big Band night with Johnny Angel. Dr. Lagnese would like to have some Board members present at each function and Mr. Minnaugh also encouraged Board members to attend as many social functions as possible. E. Membership Mr. Wickett We have 18 new members that have joined this year. There is 30-35 more who have expressed interest in Membership. The Prospective Member reception went well.
