MOTION WAS MADE by Commissioner Bird, SECONDED by Commissioner Wodtke, to accept the architect's recom- mendation and award the bid for irrigation materials for Sand Ridge Golf Course to Toro through Hector Supply Company. tl Commissioner Wodtke felt we need the greatest ability we can to get water on this golf course and with the Toro system, we can go to an extra day if we have to and have more coverage.

Commissioner Lyons advised that he planned to vote against the Motion on the basis that he did not feel the architect has fairly presented the difference between the two systems nor does he feel comfortable about the fact that there has been some confusion. He did not want to hold up the project, but he did not think a week's difference in accepting the bid would make that much difference. Chairman Scurlock referred to the discrepancy of the figures quoted for electricity as compared to those he had been given, and -stated he would vote against the Motion on the floor as he did not feel he can actually compare the two bids. Mr. Glover informed the Board that it takes 27,100 gallons of water for a 1" acre of water; 1" for 100 acres would be 2.7 million gallons and Rain Bird can't put out that much in their ten hours. The Chairman noted that Rain Bird says Toro can't either. Commissioner Bird believed that none of the Board members are irrigation experts, and although he did agree the specs could have been tighter, he noted we are paying the architect to make a recommendation; we do have some time constraints; and he did not think we can have the specs redrawn because we do need to order 67 W
