Pharr golf board reviews February finances and clubhouse water damage; staff to report back on volunteer can-collection request
Summary
The board approved financial reports showing monthly and year-to-date profits, heard that recent rain caused water damage to the clubhouse second floor and pro shop offices, and asked staff to investigate a local group's request to collect cans for reimbursement of volunteer materials.
At its April 6 meeting the Pharr Golf Course Advisory Board approved the February financial report and heard operational updates about clubhouse damage and pro shop and kitchen operations.
Will Bowski, the golf director, presented the numbers: February revenue was $19,319 and expenditures were $83,519.45, producing a monthly profit of $25,799.55 and a fiscal-year-to-date profit of $6,280.49. Board members questioned a timing discrepancy for a monthly cart payment; Bowski said cart costs are about $12,625 and that the check hadn't cleared in February, which affected month-to-month comparisons.
Board members pressed staff on whether the unpaid amount could be accrued to produce a steadier monthly picture; Bowski explained that finance department processing and requisitions can delay payments up to 30 days.
The board also heard an update on the second-floor renovation and recent water damage. Bowski said development had worked on the roof but subsequent rain caused ceiling damage and water in two offices, making one office inoperable. Staff are using industrial fans, coordinating with maintenance, and preparing any necessary insurance claims. He said the kitchen and food-and-beverage operations remain open and that sales have been steady since adding items such as hot dogs and sandwich rotations.
A board member introduced a letter from a local volunteer group (referred to in the packet as the "termite club" and associated with Leon Miller) asking to resume collecting beer and soda cans so volunteers can reimburse themselves for supplies used on course projects like water towers and markers. The board asked staff to investigate the group's history and report back at the next meeting.
Procedural notes: The board moved and seconded routine items including approval of minutes and reports by voice vote, and adjourned at the end of the meeting.
