OCT 2 8 1986BOOK 66 Fr,GE 273- <br />determined there were some rather thin areas on 16 and 18, which <br />are the sandiest, driest holes on the ridge. He informed the <br />B-.ard that after that meeting concluded about 5:30 in the <br />afternoon when basically everybody had gone, Tommy Guettler, the <br />contractor, came to him, along with the foreman for the grass <br />planting company, and said they felt two of the holes, 16 and 18, <br />had some areas that needed to be replanted; so, they got a price <br />on replanting them, and it came out at $400 an acre. We had <br />luckily had a good bit of rain last week and the sand ridge was <br />the wettest it had been since we started construction, and they <br />presented the request to him that if we were going to authorize <br />replanting a portion of those holes, they would like to do it <br />over the weekend while the moisture was still there from the <br />recent rain and would be beneficial i.n making the grass take <br />hold. Being that they were going to work all day Saturday and <br />Sunday and had the grass there from Georgia, he took it on <br />himself to tell them to proceed. <br />Commissioner Bird advised that this involved four acres at <br />$400 each, or.a total of $1,600. He believed it was an economic <br />decision because those holes on the ridge will probably grow in <br />the slowest; they will determine when the golf course is ready <br />for play; and he was confident the amount involved can be <br />recouped in half a day's receipts once the course is open. They <br />have replanted those areas, and a change order for $1,600 will be <br />processed through the proper channels. He informed the Board <br />that he will be asking that the change order be processed out of <br />the $175,000 that we have allocated in the budget for the grow -in <br />period since those holes are now our responsibility and the <br />replanting of them is our responsibility, and it won't be a <br />change order to the contractor's contract. Commissioner Bird <br />emphasized that he made the decision because it was 5:30 on a <br />Friday afternoon, and there wasn't anyone around to consult with <br />other than our greens superintendent, John Hayden, and he did <br />call Bob Komarinetz on the phone to discuss it with him. <br />_. <br />73 <br />
