Summary

Commissioners approved ordering replacement netting for the driving range and decided to install it in sections to avoid a single-point failure; the replacement was described as costing roughly $9,000 and staff discussed payment-system implications.

Commissioners said they have ordered replacement netting for the driving range after the continuous-cable system began ripping and pulling. One commissioner described the planned approach: removing the continuous run and rehanging the netting in sections so that if one section fails it can be replaced without taking the entire system down. The commissioner said the replacement "is right around $9,000," describing the cost as manageable.

The commission discussed whether the ball-dispensing/payment system should use credit-card processing and whether a system failure would disable the entire range. Staff noted previous replacement work two years prior and said they would confirm payment options and operational contingencies as they reinstall the netting.
