 Well, very good. Yep, we'll go ahead and get started. We have, we have a roll call. Looks like we have quorum. Everybody agree on that? Yep. Very good. Looks like the second item is to welcome our new board members. Looks like we have Al. And Justin, Justin's not on. So Okay, he's the one. I would just suggest that we have Al just introduce himself and tell us a little bit about him and then let's have all the rest of the board just introduce themselves. Perfect. Sounds good, Jeff. Al wants to go ahead. Hello, everyone. Thanks for the time and thanks for making me a member of the board. I appreciate it. It's kind of nerve wracking, but exciting. And I know most of the pros of the golf courses and I'll talk to Tim and others. So I'm not a lifelong Colorado resident. I moved here 12 years ago for work. I worked at the Valley Lab. You may now know as Medtronic. I retired a year ago and I mostly with COVID display golf now and enjoy my grandson. So I was an IT manager. I manage all of IT infrastructure. They call it desktop, PCs, users. And prior to that, I had a career as a journeyman steamfitter while working in shipyards, building ships. I've had two different careers. I'm married for over 30 years. I have seven children, the hers, mine and ours. And we have 11 grandchildren who recently moved out. So it's really quiet here right now. Inside of the house painted. So Yeah, I enjoy sports. I'm not a Bronco fan. I'm not really a Rockies fan. I'm a Giants 49ers fan and, you know, I do hope the best for the Broncos because they're in the AFC. And I do want the Rockies to do better than they have, although they're in the same division as the Giants. So That's pretty much about me. I used to go on a motorhome. I traveled quite a bit in the western part of the United States. And in the future, with a wife and I'd like to see more of the eastern part of the United States. And I haven't seen enough of Colorado. Really, I have a lot left to do here in Colorado to see and do. So that's about me. Great. Thanks, Al. Yeah, my name is Earl Engels. I'm headed into my third term here with the board. Still working. Thank goodness. Aside from aside from the code stuff working at home, which is good, playing a lot of golf as well. Marshall, why don't you go ahead. Marshall Allen. This is the beginning of my second year on the board. Moved here from Oklahoma 13 years ago. I loved every minute of it. Ready to get back out and play golf as the wind will stop and the snow will stop. That's it for now. Marcia Elgar. This is my second year on the board as well. I've been in Colorado since 84 and had a long career in finance and retired three years ago and picked golf back up and I'm Keith's new best friend. I think at Twin Peaks, I had up the ladies 18 hole league out there and I'm trying to start a new casual league at Creek for ladies 18 holes. So love golf. Love being outside. Thank you, John. You're on mute there, John. Testing. Hello. So I'm graduating from the Naval Academy in 1961. I was in the Navy for 10 years in submarines. I wanted to fall if you ever worked on a submarine. And after I left that got into healthcare software have installed major hospital information systems, lab systems, pharmacy systems, radiology systems. Well versed in the healthcare field. Moved here about 12 years ago. Prior to that, my wife and I, the previous 20 years had moved 20 times. So we never had lived in one spot. And so it's very unusual for me to be in one area for any length of time. And the house I'm living in now is the house I've lived in more than any other house in my whole life. So it's quite an experience. We love Longmont love playing golf. I always only started playing when I was 55. But really, really enjoy it. I love being the people on a golf course and then the in the pro shop, et cetera. So I feel very fortunate to be on the board. I really look forward to it and I hope I can provide some help and service to our community. So thanks an awful lot. Thank you, John. Jeff, do you want to go through yourself and Tim as well? No, let's let Tim go. And I do want to do a couple of introductions of some new staff that are on here tonight, but let's let Tim go first. Good evening. I'm a member of the city council now for three years and appreciate the fact that I was assigned as liaison to the golf committee before before getting on council. I was trying to figure out how to become a member of the golf committee and I couldn't qualify. So I was able to get on city council. So you ought to know that it requires more become a member of the golf committee than it does to become a member of city council. In terms of connections and status. I retired in 2014 from a 45 year career in education. I've been an avid golfer for since I was 13. And in these days when people say, what do you do? I said, well, I'm a professional golfer with a negative cash flow. So and then I would like to introduce Dan Reese and Ryan Hennings. In this past December, we had a very unusual thing for the last 27 years up to 39 years. We had two golf supervisors that had been with the city that long and they both decided to retire in December. So Ryan and Dan are acting golf supervisors. Dan is at U Creek. Ryan is over Twin Peaks and sunset. So thank you guys for being here tonight. Thank you guys for welcome. Welcome to the team here. Appreciate it. So the other item here on number two is to elect a chair, elect a vice chair. Do we have any nominations for chair? I'll let you, Earl. One second. That's Marshall. Okay. Thank you very much, Marsha. Appreciate that. Accepted. Elect a vice chair. So we do need to have a vote. All right. If there aren't any other nominations for the chair. Agree. I move he'd be elected by unanimous vote. Okay. That needs to be seconded really. I'll second that. Thank you folks. Appreciate that. Second item is a vice chair. We have a nomination. I nominate Marsha. I'll second. Thank you. All in favor. Hi. Hi. Looks like we have unanimous there, Marsha. Great. Thank you. Next agenda item number three, approval of the agenda. I hope you all had a chance to look over that. We have a motion to approve the agenda. So made. Second. I'll second it. Then we have approval of the previous month's minutes. We had that last October. We have a motion to approve the minutes. I move that we approve October 26 minutes. I'll second. And a second. Got it. Very good. Second agenda item number three, group into the next item. Communications with our team members at the different golf courses. The monthly report wants to go first. Keith you're on screen already. So why don't you go first? All right. Can everybody hear me? Yeah. All right. Very good. Well, we ended up the year in rather impressive fashion. I think Twin Peaks we got 38,000 38 rounds for the year. rounds for the year which is in my 15 years at Twin Peaks the most rounds we've ever played in one year and that reflected very nicely in the revenue at Twin Peaks we got to 1.157 million that's just amazing so as difficult of a year as it was for everybody and it was difficult and it was a hard year to you know get through as far as all the different protocols and the different things and it was a moving target all the time and it still is we managed to just pull it all together and had a great year I can't say enough about maintenance crew putting put together a golf course that could withstand that amount of play and how busy we were and all the disinfecting of the carts and Ryan was in charge Ryan who we all just met was in charge of the disinfecting for the carts and scheduling that and hiring people to do that and that was a big deal and I mentioned back to October Jeff Jeff's leadership through this time was amazing for all of us and none of us knew what to expect or what was coming next and to have to have a record year and I mean you can look at the numbers and see how we did and see there at the very bottom right of the the money report we had a really good year in golf so super thankful super appreciative and you know the customers were a little rough early on on us and as the summer wore on everyone got more patient and more understanding and we're just really thankful to be on the golf course yeah and and the guys at the front desk didn't have such a hard time with people not wearing masks and everyone started to wear masks and it got a lot it got a lot easier and I'm not going to say it felt normal but it definitely got a lot easier as the summer went on for all of us so I think that's all for Twin Peaks I take any questions if anybody has any um I actually have a question I think the um COVID protocol will probably stay in place for a while it sounds like probably even maybe through summer um what are the plans for the pins and the rakes see that is uh probably something we're going to be determining we have a meeting this week and I think uh in our meeting it'll be you know the maintenance uh group and golf staff and pros and Jeff and we will uh be revisiting what we can and can't do as far as all that stuff goes and hopefully we at some point can get those back out are you going to try to be consistent with all the with the three courses as well then too yes as of as of last Wednesday there have been no change to the guidelines so it's here to stay for a while I think yeah that's what I figured yeah okay good job Keith thank you thank you Keith uh Ryan well for sunset um I mean I can't I kind of have to follow suit with what Keith was saying there with you know maintenance side of things and with Jeff being with everything going on in the world and all the different projects and everything that had to be put on hold and issues that would come up because of COVID I mean the leadership that we have is unbelievable right now um for sunset uh we ended the year at 31211 rounds that is definitely the highest rounds I've seen at sunset um and revenue uh just breaking over a half a million dollars um which was about just under a hundred thousand more than we did in 2019 um so I mean we did to see that kind of growth and the amount of people that we've had um I can I'm pretty sure it's going to be the same for all three facilities but the amount of players that we've seen that we don't necessarily know or recognize from the community has it's it's just unbelievable the amount of players I've never seen a t-sheet at sunset with uh without limitations or with these limitations 100% and during the summer June July once we got really kicking August it was it was hard I mean you're trying to squeeze people into a t-sheet if you have an availability to do so but when we are limited with the carts the cleaning procedures that needed to be done to help disinfect and protect the customers I mean it was it was a struggle but we made it work and I'm excited I'm hoping this year continues that trend of uh keeping those golfers here you know I hope they're here to stay okay any questions for sunset nope got one twice sold all right thank you Brian appreciate appreciate your time uh Sam the same one there you are can y'all hear me can you see me okay yes sir hi everybody welcome to welcome board members and Al welcome to the board buddy we're looking forward to working with you I got to know Al pretty well this uh this last couple of years it's kind of funny I want to share a little bit of a funny story with you but when you start at the golf course I have a tendency of um finding nicknames for people and uh when I first met Al I noticed this guy's got these forms like this I started calling him Popeye and he said you know Sam I used to work on his shipyard and my nickname was Popeye so uh his nickname continues on he's a great guy I look forward to working with you Al um so yes uh it was a great year but also one more thing right before the meeting today I was checking my emails and I got this email from a golf advisor and Ute Creek I just brought the certificate off was rated they do the top 25 courses in the state Ute Creek was rated number 19 yeah but listen to this I went on and checked it all out and uh Ryan you may not got the email yet but you're rated number 15 so great job buddy wow awesome the lawnmower in the top 25 so that's really some cool news that's awesome yeah very cool well that's good and bad it makes me get into tea time a lot harder just take some of that spinach you'll uh get some of that spinach to that pipe and you'll get right on buddy that's a great job by all of you I mean I told you this in person and I told Jeff this man it's just been an amazing year playing golf and lawnmower and the people I meet that come from all over Colorado are playing these courses thanks Al okay yeah as Keith and Ryan mentioned 2020 really was a very unique and very good year for golf um our rounds were 40 almost 42,000 rounds which I didn't think we'd ever see a year over 40,000 it's reached 42,000 was really quite remarkable we had 30,408 in 2019 and our revenues in 2019 were 1,334 2020 over 1.7 millions we did over 300 almost 373,000 dollars in revenue more in 2020 than 2019 2019 was a record year after 2019 going into 2020 we knew we'd be hard pressed even to ever see those kind of numbers again and we blew them all the water it was really just an amazing year so all of us um all of us golf course operators we need to do everything we can to um make golf accessible to all these new players keep it fun and do everything we can to keep these folks in the game so I'm looking really forward to 2021 a couple other numbers I just I just really want to mention um we had to really try to cut down on our points of contact we're talking about sanitizing carts and everything but we also had to be very careful about people coming in the door we did online only um for a while there which we have got to continue that because we had um about 25 of our rounds were prepaid which tremendously helped with our utilization our revenue per round we had to do very little discounting this year because the demand was so high so our per round revenue was um 41 dollars our typical year is like 35 dollars per round so in every single way it's been a great year looking forward to 2021 looking forward to getting things back to normal hosting tournaments again um Marsha looking very forward to that lead coming out thank you very much for doing that that's going to be fun but um yeah and no face mask can't wait for no more face mask again that's all I got any questions for you Greek thanks thank you that's great Sam thank you yep Jeff do you have anything that you want to add for this section here no I I just would echo what Brian and Keith and Sam said uh they did a great job all the three pros and all their staff and the maintenance guys I can't say enough about them either they were out there every day never complained and uh did a great job so thank you to all of them yep you're here yeah very good thank you I'm not aware of any public that needs to be heard but let's just check hey Steph um unless Dan you all had anyone who contacted her that they wanted to enjoy them it wanted to join the meeting then we don't have any and I don't believe that uh we had anyone do that okay we we don't we don't have anybody okay all right very good appreciate that uh any old business that looks like from an agenda perspective there's no old business any items the last minutes no okay can I just ask um what did the city council decide on the youth creek maintenance building what did the council did it go to the council after we need no it it didn't um let's let's go through the new business and then I'll talk about that under items from staff kind of let you know where we're at that's great okay from a new business perspective we're looking at a meeting day in time uh the proposed the fourth Monday and I'm guessing we're still looking at a 6 p.m. time we have uh motion or any other ideals associated with that any emotion on that yes I'll make the motion Marshall second it okay uh meeting location currently obviously under protocols we'll I imagine we'll still be doing zoom but in other cases we have twin peaks as our location do we have a motion I'll move that we continue to meet at 12 twin peaks I'll second chef designation for posting the agendas and the agenda calendar look for your yep guidance here we we have new direction from our legal staff and we are asking that the board designate the city website as the official location for people to find our agenda and packet and past agendas we will still continue to post those at the recreation facilities but we would only make the motion that the online would be our primary location so that would even that would be even in lieu of distribution by way of email for the committee no that that's just for the general public if they want to find out what you all are doing okay and they've been posted there before right on the city website yes they have but that's the official one and no other one at this time got it okay so based upon that information do we have a motion uh for posting to the city website for agendas in packets move it be approved I'll second second very good into item number nine items from the staff so we still had one item d agenda calendar on under new business oh okay yep I apologize so we included in in your packet uh proposed schedule for the 2021 meetings and just wanted to know if you had any feedback on that or if there were any items that you wanted to have added we have listed some months where we have no meetings a couple of years ago the board had made the decision to meet every other month we can meet every month based on your interests but trying to take a combination of that we proposed not meeting in march june september and then possibly november december depending on what we have for business yeah I agree with that okay I agree with that calendar anybody else have any other input associated with that looks good to me motion to accept the calendar well made second motion passed items from the staff minister freeze yep so uh each every couple of months we'll talk about the current status of the bond projects that were passed in 18 we're about ready to go to bed for the irrigation design for sunset and at twin peaks um the the maintenance building we had moved forward with uh the central location and a couple of weeks ago we ran into uh an issue with the neighbors where we we made a what I will call a significant mistake in what was included in the submittal to the planning department and our consultant used some language in there that really wasn't I will say too polite to them and we needed to do a better job so we have pulled the submittal for the maintenance building from planning and we with the city manager will start revisiting other options as we move forward in the next month or so so that that project's really on hold right now anybody have any questions associated with that at all for Jeff the um I just had a question what was going to bid that the irrigation system for both was it for both sunset and twin peaks or just sunset both of them for the design okay is there any significant impact having to resubmit for the maintenance building you know the wording I thought I listened to the council meeting they were just gonna have to reword it well we're gonna take a step back and look to see if there we need to be good neighbors and we need to make sure that we're having additional conversations with them as well as looking at other options for the design bill to that that facility I'm hoping that by the February meeting I will have some more to report to you on that in the status any other items a topic that you wanted to talk about Jeff nope all right on to agenda item number 10 any items from the board I don't know how important this is
