THE GREATER COLUMBUS GOLF AUTHORITY



MINUTES OF MEETING



March 25, 2008





The Greater Columbus Golf Authority held the scheduled monthly meeting at Bull

Creek Golf Course. Members present were Floyd Washington, Nancy Wilkeson, June

Holder, Richard Hagler, Rev. Hill and Michael Silverstein. Staff member

present was John Milam. Aubry Burt, Nan Hopkins and Donald Clack had an

excused absence.



Minutes of the February 26, 2008 meeting were not approved. We suspended the

reading of the minutes until April?s meeting.



Old Business



None.



New Business (Oxbow Creek)



Mrs. Georgette Hackett, bookkeeper for Bull Creek, will also assume the

bookkeeping duties at Oxbow Creek. Last year at Oxbow Creek, a port-a-let was

installed for the convenience of the golfers when the pro shop closes early

(two days a week). We are currently paying $80.00 per month for the rental of

the port-a-let. The women golfers have expressed their displeasure of using

the port-a-let. Mr. Milam stated that a trusted marshal, Mr. Johnson, would

open the pro shop for the golfers who wished to use the restroom. The doors

would be open and then immediately locked while occupying the building. It was

suggested that a surveillance/security camera be installed for every ones

protection at a cost of about $150.00. All members were in favor of the

installation of the camera and Mr. Johnson having a key.



New Business (Bull Creek)



The parking lot will be resealed and re-striped very soon at a cost of

$7,800.00. Several complaints have been made regarding the golfers who are

allowed to fish in the ponds at Bull Creek. Safety and liability issues were

discussed. The Authority Members unanimously agreed that no fishing will be

allowed anytime anywhere on the course.



Superintendent Report by John Milam



Steve?s crew has been working on the following: spraying Pre M on the

fairways, digging the silt out of the creek at 13 West and removal of dead

trees, especially 17 East.











Godwin Creek



No report.



Director of Golf



Bull Creek?s revenue from February 2007 through February 2008 is significantly

higher than compared to the same period last year. Lakewood Golf Course in

Phenix City is in poor shape and in turn has helped Bull Creek?s revenue.

Upcoming tournaments in the next few months should increase the revenue at Bull

Creek. Oxbow Creek?s revenues are economically generated and are lower for the

same period.



Richard Hagler adjourned the meeting at 4:15 p.m.





Respectfully submitted,





Nancy Wilkeson, Acting Secretary
