Board weighs irrigation priority, chipping-area and range-cover options amid limited CIP dollars
Summary
Advisory board discussed using available CIP funds (~$500,000 next year) for irrigation design and partial course fixes vs. range/cover improvements; staff flagged irrigation as a top priority and warned range-cover bids may understate final costs.
Staff briefed the board on capital priorities and the limits of the current CIP allocation, reporting roughly $500,000 available next year and that full irrigation and mainline fixes could approach $1 million for meaningful improvements across holes.
Staff noted some vendor quotes for range covers did not include all components and could increase from an initial $97,000 estimate to as much as about $157,000. The board discussed sequencing — whether to spend limited funds on a cheaper shade system or prioritize irrigation design and later add covers. "There's gonna be $500,000 for the next year," staff said, describing planned CIP funds and how they might be phased into design and construction.
Members signaled irrigation as the top priority while acknowledging smaller projects (a new chipping area, improved practice spaces) could yield quick wins for public perception and practice value. Staff will refine cost details and procurement timelines for the board and the commission.
