ACTIVITY REPORT:
Jack Kudron added two items to the Activity Report. The Anaheim Hills Golf Course has been
remeasured. The next step taken will be the course rating. Staff is currently working with the
architect on the Fish and Game Mitigation Project and will have more to report, including a site
plan at the next meeting. The project will consist of damming up the water creating a pond in
front of #7 and add additional trees and shrubs.
ANAHEIM HILLS SUPERINTENDENT'S REPORT:
Don Lewis reported staff is working very hard preparing the course for spring and summer play
and the City Championship Tournament. Jack stated the course is in very good shape considering
the irrigation project which has just recently been completed.
DAD MILLER SUPERINTENDENT'S REPORT:
Gary Wimberly reported staff is concentrating largely on preparing the course for the City
Championship Tournament. After the tournament, golf maintenance staff will be tining the greens,
which consists of going down 8 -9" on the greens for aerification. More herbicide for crabgrass
control was applied. Tree trimming has been done. The new nursery is now complete. The lake
has been cleaned. Repair of a six -inch broken line is complete. Soil has been received and is being
stored for a future project on #7 and #8. In order to dress up and bring color around the #1 Tee,
24" x 24" x 10' planters will be installed behind the #1 Tee. Promotional banners have been added
in the parking lot and practice center.
DIRECTOR OF GOLF'S REPORT:
Bob Johns reported the main focus has been preparing for the City Golf Championship
Tournament. Everything necessary for the tournament has been completed. He also reported that
both new pros have done an outstanding job so far. Bob Johns also indicated that when the
driving range at Anaheim Hills is closed for construction, all the golf pro lessons will be moving to
Dad Miller driving range until the completion of the Anaheim Hills Driving Range project. Jack
Kudron reported the merchandise at both courses has expanded and has been received very well
by the golfers. Bob Johns reported that the retail business has increased considerably at both
courses.
FINANCIAL REPORTS:
A. March Financial Report
Jack Kudron reviewed the March Financial Report and indicated that the charts reflect
positive comparisons from the 93/94 record year both in rounds, carts and in revenues.
The ranges are still down, but Dad Miller is showing signs of improvement. Overall,
March was a good month.
B. Third Quarter Financial Summary
Jack Kudron reported gross revenue is up 11 %, net operating income is up 17% and
overall, the net income is up 10 %.
Anaheim Hills shows a net loss of $44,000 on greens fees, which was when the $5.00
promotion was active during the irrigation project. Rounds were the same.
Dad Miller shows a net income increase of 29% compared to last year.
OLD BUSINESS:
A. City Tournament Status
Jack Kudron passed out the tournament awards presentation schedule. Chris Jarvi and
Chairman Klein will be presenting the Championship Flight awards. Chairman Klein
reported currently 381 golfers will be participating. Overall, everything is complete and
ready. Jack Kudron commended Chairman Ed Klein and Commission Howard
Bartholomew on a job well done.
B. Marketing Plan Status
Jack Kudron handed out to the Commission a draft of the Marketing Action Plan
developed by the Pro Staff, Jack Kudron and Janet Donovan. This item will be put on the
agenda for next month's meeting for further discussion. Jim Ruth has requested that on
May 21st, Chris Jarvi and Jack Kudron present an update on Golf Operations to the City
Council.
C. Dad Miller 7/8 Reconfiguration
Janet Donovan reported the bids came in ranging from $92,000 (lowest) - $138,000
(highest). The contractor selected was South West Growers and Landscaping, being the
lowest bid. Project will go to City Council on May 14 for approval. Project will begin
May 15. The project is anticipated to be completed in six weeks. There will be a
temporary green in place until the new #7 Green can be opened. The new #8 Tee will be
opened before the #7 Green. Chairman Klein questioned if the course could be
temporarily re- rated. Bob Johns responded that the SCGA frowns on request such as this.
Discussion ensued.
D. Anaheim Hills Driving Range Improvements
Jack Kudron reported City Council awarded the construction project to Micon
Construction. Randy Meyer, the architect currently working on this project, has worked
with Micon Construction before and is very pleased the City will have such a good
contractor working on this project. The pre - construction meeting will be next Tuesday,
May 7, with work starting immediately following. Micon Construction still needs to have
a "Notice to Proceed" from the Engineering Department. Contract will state that
construction will be complete by June 29.
