had an unexcused absence. Staff members present were John Milam and Steve

Brown.



We did not have a quorum to discuss any new business or approve the minutes

from December 2004 meeting.





Report by Steve Brown, Superintendent



The fairways and driving range have been sprayed for control of winter weeds.

The aprons and around the edges of the tee will be sprayed within the coming

weeks. Some drainage areas have been filled with sod. On 3 West flex stakes

will be installed to control cart traffic at the green. The green will be

painted again in February. This procedure is usually done three times per

year, but will be only be done twice this winter season at a savings of $720.



Maintenance personnel are undergoing in-service training.



The new color flag system has been a great improvement.



Floyd Washington asked Mr. Milam to look into installing a restroom on the

course at Oxbow Creek. The best location would be between 6th green and 7th

tee. John will check into a septic field location and price for this addition.





Report of John Milam, Director of Golf



Godwin Creek



Godwin Creek did not send a financial statement for last month. They are

expecting in the next few weeks to receive donations totaling $16,500. This

money is available to pay off their debts.





Oxbow Creek



When we increased the rates last year, Oxbow Creek lost many players to

Woodland Hills and Red Oak Golf Course, so they will offer dollar days at Oxbow

Creek Monday through Friday. We will also offer a weekday membership (limited

to twenty members) paid yearly. The cost will be $200 for seniors, $350 for

regular membership, $100 for spouses and $25 for each child. These above

figures do not include tax.



Bull Creek



Bull Creek?s revenue increased substantially in the month of December ?04

compared to that of ?03. Everything is weather driven and we have had

unseasonably warm weather to boost the revenue. Mr. Milam passed around the

new score cards that will be available in the spring.



The meeting was completed at 4:18 p.m.





Respectfully submitted,





Nancy Wilkeson, Secretary
