Home My WebLink About1960-09-13 Min - BoardMinutes September 6, 1960 Continued Mrs. Kielhofer produced all newspaper clippings in regard to th e naming of the golf course and the forming of the social club. She brought up the fact as to why something wasn't said at the time the articles appeared in the newspaper. It was moved by Director Russell and seconded by Director Kielhofer that the golf course shall be named Truckee' s Shadow Valley Golf Course. It was carried by the following roll call vote: Ayes - Kielhofer, Edmunds, Russell Noes - King Absent - Horman Chairman King stated he felt this naming was very much an injustice to the non -golfers of the District who contributed the biggest part of the $100,000.00 that has been spent on it. Mr. Osburn -appeared before the Board regarding his proposed building at the golf course. Mr. Osburn stated there were 2 or 3 items that had to be taken into consideration. One was parking, water and power, and the sewer system. He did not feel that since he was donating part of the use of the building that he should have to stand all cost of such installations, particularly the parking. He was assured that water and power would not be a big problem since both facilities were there. He had not checked with the Board of Health regarding the septic tank requirements. Director Edmunds stated it should be made clear now that if and when a sewer line is installed, who will pay for the cost of transferring from septic tank to sewer, The next item up for discussion was the changing the proposed location n of the club house froin the no r f-Jawest. corner to the southwest co ner of the golf course. It was moved by Director Russell and seconded by Director Kielhofer that the land in the southwest corner be used for the club house. Motion carried. Lengthy discussion was held as to the pros and cons of the District owning, leasing or letting a third party run the concessions there. Chairman King felt that since Board was considering hiring Mr. Deluca as pro, he suggested that Mr. DeLuca' s views and opinions be heard regarding the club- house,, An executive meeting was set up for Wednesday, September 7, 1960, to take with Mr. Deluca.

Discussion was held on these accounts* It was moved by Director Russell that we take . these delinquent accounts out of our accounts receivable, credit our deposits to our delinquent acounts and put in uncollectable revenue fund. The above motion was seconded by .Director Edmunds asking_ the amount .of electric and water be recorded - Electric $774.47, Water $123.01, Total $897.28. Total Deposits credited $80.06. Motion carried. Manager read a letter from Harold Welch owner of the St. Louis Cafe regarding his delinquent account Board did not agree to his proposal. It was moved by Director Edmunds and seconded by Director Kielhofer that we reject Mr . Welch' s proposal of September 7, 1960, and counter propose new owners pay their deposit with the District, keep their bill current and pay $50 to the _District each month toward Mr. Welch' s delinquent account._ Motion carried. Manager read a letter of appreciation from the Tahoe Forest Hospital for District : s service during the recent forest f ire . The next item on the agenda was the financial statement. The Manager hdd prepared one each for the electric fund and ,water fund. Considerable discussion was held and questions were asked regarding the statements. Since reports were not too complete Manager was asked to have a more complete report next month. Manager read a communication from Sierra Pacific Power Company dated September 8, 1960, stating they are willing to serve the District 4160 volts* They state they will deliver from their present substation location and run a separate two or three span service line to Burney Mill. They stated they would locate a substation in vicinity of Denney Mill. They offered to loan the Burney Mill transformers for the changeover and exchange the present transformers at Denney Mill. Director Edmunds inquired whether or not District had heard from Chamb- erlain regarding our request from services from P G & E . Manager '- informed him we had not. _ Manager informed Board this was the first we had heard from Sierra Pacific Power Company since , the meeting with them on August 11, 1960, Chairman King mentioned the fact that the amount they were willing to spend exceeded the amount of the 60, 000 Director Edmunds stated we could not serve the two mills at 4160 and,: also give service to customers. Chairman King stated he thought this letter should be answered that we wash to be; metered at 60,000 volts to enable us to supply the mills at 60,000 and once -we are converted it is too late. Director Russell inquired whether or not there was some sort of chart or information that -would tell us whether or not we could operate with 4160. Mr .

He stated District should be able to run golf .course- Mrs . Kielhofer stated if they couldn't run course they should resign. Mr. Ellis stated building clubhouse should be no problem as the District could get people to build a clubhouse and they could collect green fees and pay greenskeeper and keep course in sh ape . If Mr . Gibbons thought he could come in from outside and pay District $8, 000.00 per year he must feel that he is going to get a return on his money. Chairman King did not feel that he would make any return on his money the first few years* Mrs* Kielhofer wanted District to try running course before it was leased out, Mr. Moore stated the committees' idea was for it to be a municipal course and he felt District was. wasting time talking about a lease. He was agreeable to District leasing clubhouse but felt course should remain a munic1hpal course. He felt public opinion was 90 percent in favor of District running course, Chairman King stated he would like to find that out as people he .had talked to in town felt that leasing it out. to someone that knew how to run a course would be the best thing, Chairman King felt if Di*rict could get an 8 or 10 percent return on District's money assured for 10 years and not have to worry about the management of 4#olf course. Mr . Ellis stated that the idea they had in mind in getting a golf course was not to make money but to get golf down to where the average person could afford to play. He felt if course were leased out people wouldn't have that Chairman King stated that Mr. Gibbons had agreed to put a ceiling on the green fees . Mrs. Kielhofer stated that would be fine until he claimed his operation was not making money . Chairman King stated he couldn't raise fees without an OK from the District . Committee felt he could break that agreement if he could prove he was 1 o s ing money. Chairman King stated if District were losing money they would raise prices too, Mrs* Kielhofer stated District would not lose money, Mr. Ellis stated that District had a piece of property in the golf course that was worth more than all the power and water the Distric6 owned, Mr. Cook suggested selling course. Mrs. Kielhofer suggested selling power and water. Chairman King stated golf course had already. cost $114., 782.00. Mrs. Kielhofer asked if part of that amount didn't come under maintenance-. She was ,informed it did not as it was all capitalization until the course was operating . She stated that the course should be operating* Minutes September 13, 1960 Continued 297 Chairman King stated he thought District should find out from Mr . Chamberlain .where they stand on the amount spent . Director Russell inquired as to when District was informed the spending of over $100, 000.00 was illegal. Chairman King stated it was known before course was started. Director Russell stated this was the first he knew of it . Chairman King stated it was in the Utility Code and when Chamberlain was here, he had told them that. Directors Russell and Edmunds stated they had not been told. Chairman King stated Director Edmunds was there . Director Edmunds stated he did not remember but if he could find it in the minutes he would acknowledge it . Chairman King stated it was at the meeting when the ordinance was passed for the golf course. Director Russell stated he had only seen .Chamberlain once since he had been on the Board and that was at the last regular meeting. Chairman King stated Director Russell may not have been on the Board but Directors Horman and Edmunds were* Director Russell stated District had passed ordinance to go into recreation after he was on the Board. Director Russell stated that as far as he was concerned if the golf course was opened up when it should have been District would not be in this position. Director Edmunds stated he was glad course was built and he had fought for it for 16 years and he is proud to be associated with it. Chairman King stated he objected to hating it rammed down the peoples' throats* Director Edmunds stated he didn't think it was - rammed down - that 16 years ago they knew about it when he was attempting to get the land. He stated they called him "crazy Edmunds" but nevertheless they made $250, 400.00 off it and if they can't put back $100, 000.00 he doesn't know what they want with it, He stated they didn't get the land there except- by his personal efforts and if the money was spent there he was happy over it. He will take all the blame and all the cussing anyone wants to hand out but he thinks it is one of the best things this town had ever had and ever will have to help the community along, Director Russell stated he thought so too if it were taken care of right from now on. Director Russell stated he felt District should figure how golf course was to be run and get it settled once and for all - whether or not it was to be leased out or run by the District. Director Edmunds suggested that Board adopt a policy of operation tonight, Director Edmunds moved and it was seconded by Director Kielhofer that 'e golf course be operated under the direct supervision of the District and that the club house be let out for private building and operation, Chairman King stated whether or not Distridt should build clubhouse and lease it out,. Director Edmunds stated he was for that if money could be found to build it, Director Edmunds stated if we were in +•-� jail now for $100, 004.00 we might just as well go in jail for $2008000.00. Director Edmunds stated if someone else build clubhouse they should be given a reasonable lease period after which District would have the option of exercising the purchase of it at an agreed assessed valuation or a valuation set at that time by an unbiased person. He thought District should keep control on it to get it into our possession if and when District felt it necessary but should give the one who is putting it up time enough to start to realize on it and then purchase it only if it is found to be a better arrangement . Minutes i September 13, 1960 Continued Mr. Cook suggested Board borrow money to build club house. He felt it could be financed through the bank and then leased out. Chairman King said he thought if memberships were sold and put that as a dawn payment on a clubhouse and had a firm lease on the clubhouse that money could be borrowed. Mr . Moore inquired if that would be in the Spring and Chairman King stated it would be in the Spring. Chairman King inquired whether or not committing the District 25 years to someone else as an expediant to get the building up this Fall instead of next Spring was justified. Chairman King stated he thought it was more important to get things set up properly than it is to get it set up now. Director Russell stated why not decide what membership fees will be and have committee take memberships right now. Director Russell asked Chairman King if money could be raised what was his objection to going ahead this year with District building clubhouse. Chairman King stated in lieu of our operating a part of it and not operating the other part - having the golf course and having someone else own the building - he thought we ought to lease it all out or keep it all. Chairman King stated he was not in ,favor of District running golf course. He is in f avor of leasing it to someone that knows how to run a golf course. He stated someone else would take the risks and would get the profits but the District would get a reasonable return on their money and it would be sound. Mrs. Kielhofer inquired whether or not money was the only thing that was taken into consideration by him. Chairman King stated no it was not, He stated he had fought against the District spending $100, 000.00 on recreation on a pay-as-you-go 'oasis instead of borrowning the money and pay it off on a long-term basis, and have cash in reserve to use and also committing the District to $100, 000,00, expenditure without going to the people and getting their approval of it. He stated he felt the golf course was the property of the customers of the District and the purpose of the golf course from the District; s standpoint is to promote Truckee and to afford recreation to the customers of the District and since the District has the $100, 000.00 investment it should be operated in the most efficient way possible to protect it from losing money for the District which the District cannot afford to lose. Mrs. Kielhofer inquired why he thought District would lose money. Chairman King stated he hoped course didn't lose money but he didn't think District could afford to gamble on inefficient operation and. the course is likely to lose money for the first 2 or 3 years and the District did not have the reserve to support a loss, Mrs, Kielhofer stated course should not have been built if he felt that w ay. Mr., Ellis inquired what he meant by inefficient operation-. Chairman King stated he thought District should be careful who they got to operate courses Mr. Ellis stated as long as District had a good greenskeeper and a man to collect the green fees he didn't see how District could lose money. Mrs. Kielhofer felt course shouldn't be leased to someone who already had a golf course and had it leased out because he would do the same thing with this course. She stated course had been build for the people. Mr. Moore stated no one could operate the golf course any cheaper than the - District. Minutes September 13, 1960 Continued 299 Mr. Ellis stated if another party felt they could spend $40, 000.00 on a clubhouse and pay District $8,000.00 and still wake money - if the District , can't do it there is something wrong and if they have to wait for a clubhouse to be built until they take in enough revenue from memberships and green fees that is fine as the District wouldn It be spending any more money. Manager - suggested District appropriate $1, 5 00.00 from water and $l5'000.00 from electric fund and submit advertising in paper for WNW architects to submit plans for clubhouse and the District find means of financing and should recreation fail to realize enough revenue to offset their investment, that the additional revenue required be placed as a taxation should that be necessary. He stated a good plan whether or not it was completely completed would be better than doing it piecemeal and that it would be easier to finance. Mrs* Kielhofer stated the consideration of someone like Clarence Osburn who is willing to put his money in and take a chance and then let the District have it back in 10 years for a fair price she saw nothing wrong with it, Manager stated bids would have to be advertised for because of the legal aspect, Mr. Cook stated if private party build clubhouse public might be kept out of it, Mrs. Kielhofer assured him no, that it has to be a public building and always remain so, A .motion was made by Director Russell and seconded by Director �., Kielhofer that golf course be operated under the direct supervision of the Utility District by an employee who is qualified to operate the course. Motion carried. Director Horman inquired by hiring a manager for the golf course whether or not the Board would have control over expenditures and pol icy . Director Kielhofer suggested pricing of A frames put up by Rex Reid, as a temporary clubhouse* He felt that would be adequate for the time bding which would house a pro shop and snack bar. He suggested this building could then be used as a tool house or 1 iv ing quarters for a pro., Director Russell did not like this idea. He stated he like the idea of the District building the clubhouse but did not like the A. frames. Rex Reid who was attending the Airport meeting was called in. Director Edmunds stated building could be moved so it wouldn't be a loss to the District but he would like to see how course will do II. for a year or so before building anything too expensive. Mr. Reid entered meeting and was asked the cost of an A frame that would serve as a club house. He stated he would have to know what the District wanted. He gave a figure of $10, 000.00 completely errected. He was asked regarding the financing. He stated they had a maximum financing of $ 5 , 000.00 with 84 months to pay is the only financing he has at present, Discussion was held on the A frame type building and the Armco type building . 30 Minutes September 13, 1960 Continued C..� CT Chairman King returned after a temporary absence and asked if Board 4 ` had voted to run golf course, He was informed they had* Chairman King asked how that decision could be made when they couldn't be sure they could find anyone to run it. Director Russell stated he didn't think that was a problem. Director Edmunds moved and it was seconded by Director Kielhofer that the Utility District shall hire a manager responsible to the IN Board to run and operate the golf course. Chairman King inquired whether or not District was open to any propositions on the golf course. He was informed no - on the club house only. Director Russell stated it had been the consensus of the public around and the majority of the member s of the Board - Chairman King interrupted by stating that was- a statement Director Russell was not qualified to say as none of them knew the consensus of the public. Director Russell inquired of Chairman King whether the consensus of the public was that he was right and they were wrong, He stated to Chairman King that he was the only one fighting against it and he (Dr. King) is the Chairman and when a man made a motion he would accept the motion arxd let it be voted on and if it were voted and passed he would shut up. He stated the motion could be changed in a year or 6 months if it weren't working out. Mrs. Kielhofer asked Chairman King why he didn't get all the people on the other side of the fence in here, She stated golf course group seemed to be the only ones interested. z. P Director Russell stated leasing it out was not a good idea because he shad talked to Mr. Houlegate of Clements Rock Products and if course was leased out he (Mr. Houlegate) felt District owed them $8,0000000 Mrs. Kielhofer stated there were a lot of other people that felt the same way as the golf course was represented as a public project looking for money and anything donated would be fine and then the minute it is finished Chairman King wanted to drop it all and all the responsibilities. She stated it was misrepresented all the way through if that was what he had in mind. Chairman King , stated he did not want to drop it and he wanted to see it run as efficiently as it can be run. Mrs . Kielnofer stated it was the Board' s j ob to f igure out a way and try it just like with the power and water* She inquired why those weren't leased out. She stated it was a third utility and Board should be just as interested in it as the other two. Chairman King stated it was his feeling as a Board member that the most e f f is ient way of running the golf course is to lease it to someone who knows how to run it . Manager advised Board that since clubhouse building was over $1,000.00 it had to go out to bid. The preceeding motion was brought to a vote and carried. Director Edmunds inquired what was to be done about the clubhouse. He wanted to know if District was going to build it or let it out to be built and operated by someone else. SOT Minutes September 13, 1960 Continued Chairman King stated he thought we should find out what we could do before we decided what we were going to do. Director Edmunds stated he was against putting it off . Director Russell stated District's building clubhouse was fine if it could be shown it could be done, He stated if clubhouse was built with memberships it would be money away from operations for next year,, Director Edmunds stated he hesitated on that point. Mr. Dolley stated he felt District should build own building - the type being what they could afford - and not spend a lot of money they do not have, Chairman King left the meeting, Director Russell stated his objection to starting without an adequate clubhouse is that there wouldn't be the people coming from the Lake or any distance to use course. Director Edmunds stated that he would like to go on record as having the building put up by the District and financed by the District. Director Horman stated we have already decided we wanted the golf course 100 percent controlled by the District and now the mattek should be whether or not we want the clubhouse to be controlled by the District and if we do, we have to build it ourselves, Director Kielhofer made a motion that District finance building of clubhouse . Seconded by Director Horman . Director Russell stated he would like to have something in the motion about the financing of it* He would have to see something that was going to be feasible and District would come out on it. District cannot take any funds out of electric and water and we cannot jeopardize course by taking green fees in adaance as it is the same thing as taking it out of District's fund. If we do we will be broke before the golf course is opened he stated. Director Edmunds stated we were broke already but did agree with Director Russell, Director Edmunds suggested we set an ad in the coming paper asking for proposals to put up and operate a clubhouse of 1500 sq. ft. Director Russell stated we would tie District up to a liease under those terms, Director Russell stated he would like to see District establish a price and then sell memberships and see how much money is raised. Manager advised Board should sell the memberships and put money in the bank to build clubhouse and then use green fees to pay maintenance costs of course, Mr. McKinley offered to loan the District $3, 000.00 at 6/ interest with no time limit for repayment, He stated he would be willing to take his return from gains of clubhouse. Manager stated Board should have some concrete plan for a clubhouse to show people what they are buying into, Directors Russell and Kielhofer were appointed as a committee of two to bring in best possible propositions on a clubhouse.
