Council tables decision on ice-machine fix as staffing shortages persist at clubhouse
Summary
Alcester council discussed a broken ice machine at the clubhouse and staffing shortages that have kept the clubhouse closed on busy evenings; repair options (a $31.55/month service plan plus a $200 install or a one-time component purchase) were discussed and council asked staff to obtain a repair report and pricing before the next meeting.
Council members discussed the clubhouse grill and a failed ice machine that has limited operations. The repairman reportedly said the water going to the machine was not softened and recommended a filter system; the service plan cited in the meeting was "$31.55 a month" plus a one-time installation fee of $200. A council member noted that a full water-softening system would be a larger, costlier solution and asked staff to obtain a repair report and cost comparisons.
Council members also addressed staffing shortages that have led to the clubhouse being closed on multiple busy evenings; staff said they have tried to hire additional clubhouse tenants and fill shifts but have struggled to recruit available adult workers. After discussion the council tabled a final decision on the ice-machine purchase or service plan until the next meeting so staff could provide cost options and a repair report.
