Board begins long-range capital planning; irrigation system said to have exceeded its useful life
Summary
Board members discussed a draft long-range capital plan and updates to the irrigation system, with a board member saying improvements in materials and technology show the current system has exceeded its operational life.
At the Feb. 16, 2025 meeting the Old Works Golf Course Board held an extended discussion of a draft long-range capital plan covering course infrastructure and equipment.
Todd Lupkes provided an update on proposed irrigation improvements, stressing that the board and staff will try to minimize disruption to play and the course during construction. The minutes state that improvements in technology and materials indicate the existing irrigation system has exceeded its operational life, prompting planning for replacement or major overhaul.
No formal capital commitment or budget appropriation was recorded at the meeting; the discussion was catalogued as draft planning and assessment of needs. Board members emphasized the complexity of preparing a long-range plan that must account for diverse operations and site-specific needs across course elements.
The board recorded a separate near-term infrastructure item: bridge #1 decking is scheduled for installation the first week of April by Jay Fortune.
