Commissioner Bird then invited the Commissioners, members of staff, and workers who have been involved with the golf course, to a barbecue at the unfinished golf course maintenance barn tomorrow at 4:00 P.M. to celebrate the finishing of the planting. He stated that he and Tommy Guettler are picking up the tab for this as a thank -you, and advised that part of his input into it has been a $100 contribution from the Golf Course Feasibility Committee. Commissioner Bird reported that the golf course is about to become our responsibility; John Hayden is hiring people for the maintenance crew; the brochures finally were completed; and we will be moving along with the fund raising efforts. He further advised that he got a $300 contribution from the Golf Course Feasibility Committee of some money left in the treasury from the fund raising effort about a year ago to pay for the feasibility study and also received $300 from the AARP Golf League. Chairman Scurlock had a questions about the yardages set out in the brochure, and Commissioner Bird explained that those are maximum yards from the. championship tees. CtFirman Scurlock inquired about the status of the management and staffing, and Commissioner Lyons asked who is actually running it out there - is the Commission running it or is the staff running it? Director Thomas stated that it is whoever this Commission directs to run it. Commissioner Bird felt the answer is that Bob Komarinetz is on board now as Golf Manager and John Hayden is working under him, and he has had several meetings with staff. Intergovernmental Relations Director Thomas believed it was _ determined by the Board that the golf course would be under the - direction of the Parks & Recreation Division, of which he is the head, and it is at times difficult, particularly as involved as he is with the budgetary process, when the authorizations are coming from a number of sources.
