OCT 2 8 1986 BOOK 66 rnuv 275 <br />5 <br />Director Thomas expressed concern about the total budget <br />expenses on the construction because there are two primary items <br />that still remain to be dealt with, one of which was intention- <br />ally deleted in order to bring it within the bond issue amount, <br />i.e., the cart paths. He felt it has been determined by everyone <br />involved that the Sandridge course is beautiful, but you cannot <br />operate it without cart paths, and they are very expensive. <br />Also, the engineer -or the architect overlooked putting in two <br />bridges which are absolutely necessary to the operation of the <br />golf course. We had a temporary permit to carry our irrigation <br />lines over on poles, but they have to be mounted on the bridges, <br />and you just cannot have access for your equipment or your carts <br />without bridges. Mr. Thomas felt the whole financial picture <br />must be addressed in detail at this time to prevDnt -cost ver- _ <br />runs, and if it.is obvious that we have to have cost overruns, we <br />must make some provisions to come up with the funds. He did not <br />see that we have any funds available for either bridges or cart <br />paths. He continued that we saved between $6,000 or $7,000 on <br />discounts on items which the county purchased, and we did reduce <br />the amount of pilings, which saved about $20,000; however, we had <br />change orders in the amount of $30,000 because, of what was, in <br />his opinion, inadequate engineering planning on the drainage and <br />irrigation. <br />Chairman Scurlock asked if we have enough in the kitty for <br />the clubhouse, and Director Thomas confirmed that we do; he is <br />only talking about the golf course construction. So far the <br />maintenance building has come in right on the budget, and the <br />bids are to be opened in the next few days on the clubhouse. <br />However, items of lesser priority, such as two rain shelters and <br />a building to house dispensing machines, were not included in the <br />original budget. He believed they can be deterred, but cart <br />paths and bridges must be addressed. <br />Chairman Scurlock inquired about the management structure, <br />` i.e., does Bob Komarinetz who is pro and manager have the greens <br />75 <br />
