Committee backs adding range dispenser enclosures and relocations to CIP list for four courses
Summary
Staff proposed moving range ball dispensers off active patios and installing protective enclosures with additional electrical receptacles at multiple tee boxes; committee debated funding sources, flagged existing board‑approved projects and directed staff to include two enclosures and two relocations in the capital improvement planning for Pebble
Staff presented a plan to move range ball machines off high‑activity patios and install protective enclosures and additional power outlets at range tees to protect electronics and allow flexible placement. Pat O’Hara said past sites (Grandview, Pebblebrook) required additional electrical work and that standard placement in the center of tee boxes evens wear patterns.
Committee discussion focused on cost and funding. One member proposed reallocating part of the mini‑golf shade cantilever budget, but staff said the cantilever project had governing‑board approval and could not be reallocated without board action. The committee discussed phasing: tackle adjustments during scheduled course closures and align work with other asphalt/cart path projects to limit cut‑and‑patch costs.
The committee reached a working recommendation to include two enclosures and two dispenser relocations in the next CIP cycle and to prioritize Pebblebrook and Grandview (already improved), plus Deer Valley and Desert Trails, with staff to present phasing and cost details for the next capital budget cycle. No funds were approved at the meeting.
