Summary

A golf-course representative reported the new irrigation system has been useful for isolating greens, rounds are up and robotic mowers have been ordered; staff noted the operation relies on about a dozen part-time employees plus volunteers.

A golf-course representative identified in the meeting packet as Stuntz gave a short quarterly update to the council, saying the course is "off to a terrific start" and that the irrigation project has substantially reduced the impact of localized system failures.

Stuntz said part-time staffing is roughly 12 people and that volunteers contribute substantially to maintenance. He also said the course has ordered upgraded robotic mowers to handle tees, fairways and collars and that staff will monitor older systems for issues. "We haven't had a bit of a problem with it, and it's been a lifesaver because that project helped us, to isolate greens," Stuntz said. The council had no substantive questions and thanked the presenter for the update.

The report is largely informational; no formal action was taken.
