Totten Golf Commission to meet with CFO, law department on RFP extension; accepts routine reports and maintenance plan
Summary
At its March 13 meeting, the Totten Golf Commission voted to accept the Feb. 13 minutes and a written operations report from an absent staffer; commissioners said they will meet next week with the city CFO and law department to set parameters for an extension related to the course RFP and heard details on upcoming course maintenance and drainage.
The Totten Golf Commission on March 13 voted to accept the minutes of its Feb. 13 meeting and to accept a written operations report from an absent staff member, and commissioners said they will meet next week with the city chief financial officer and the law department to set parameters for an extension tied to the course request for proposals.
A commission member said, "We're gonna meet with them and just get the perimeters on the on the extension, for the course or the RFP or whatever you wanna call it," indicating the meeting with CFO and law staff will clarify the scope and timing for that procurement matter.
Why it matters: decisions about an RFP extension affect the procurement timeline for the golf course and any related contracts or operational plans. The commission also reviewed a written operations/maintenance report outlining turf care, drainage work, and preparatory construction that could affect course availability in coming weeks.
The report, read for absent staff member Ed, said greens will be cut, mowed and rolled; fairways and tees will receive initial mowing and early fertilization; the practice green will be seeded, top-dressed and covered; and the driving range will be prepared for opening with improved signage and fertilizer. The report noted a contractor is being engaged for culvert work on holes 3 and 7 and that drainage design on hole 7 is needed because existing drainage is not effective due to contamination. It also said a previously discussed cleanup of the Brooks has no plan in place yet. The written update indicated construction work is scheduled to begin March 15, weather permitting, and that work should be underway before the April meeting.
Discussion vs. decisions: the meeting record shows the commission discussed scheduling the meeting with the CFO and the law department and requested Ed's participation on certain agenda items; no formal direction beyond scheduling the meeting was recorded. The report from Ed was informational and accepted by vote; the transcript does not record additional formal assignments or deadlines tied to the maintenance items.
