Proposal for a vote on a presidential candidate discussion of  their plans made
by John Ross failed by a 6 to 6 vote.

Treasurer’s Report   (Greg Johnson) current status $4,800 in account.  We still
owe Parks for fees (Willamette est. 200 dollars).  Not much financial action
this month.

Willamette  Greenskeeper (Greg Alpert) Hole 1 long position , undeveloped, is 
630 some feet long and par 4.  Ideas of having an overall plan and/or having 
existing positions fixed so that they can be used with basket security before 
creating this new position was promoted.  It was pointed out that making it 
longer will also increase the back-up at the beginning of the course.  Vote 
of motion to put in the new position now carried by a slim majority.  Repair 
of damaged positions will go forward with Billie Gaskill and Greg Alpert.  

Abe Downey now has a design for signs which will incorporate a map of the hole,
bag hangers.  A metal pole in concrete would be on one side  or other of  the
tee pad.  The use of bag hooks on signs was discussed.  They utility of these 
might be for bad weather when small bags or clothes could be hung.  They aren’t
for everybody, but could be useful for some. Motion to include hangers failed.
Discussion ensued about whether to have metal signs on poles vs having signs 
more like those at Adair, with wood as the predominant material.  Motion to go
ahead with the metal sign passed.  

Festivus (Greg J) He mentioned a local company as source of  trophies.  Greg
doesn’t expect it to cost the Club much.  The date is the last Saturday in 
January, the 26th.  It will have 22 holes.

Adair Greenskeeper (Nate) Basket on 8 is leaning. Nate plans to right it some
rainy day. Wood on signs needs refinishing.  This needs to be done in summer 
when wood is dry.  Bench on 12 is loose and a bit of a hazard.  Tree protectors
are needed.  Some wood is available, has been painted and drilled.  Raking
leaves off bark chip paths was suggested.  Question of concrete tee pads 
raised by Billie Gaskill.  There is a question of having the cash.  A design 
discussion is needed.  A design subcommittee reporting to the next meeting was 
proposed.  Billie Gaskill will convene this committee.

Adair Doubles (Mike). They are continuing.  Mike and Craig are interested in 
having someone(s) volunteer to do one doubles per month.  John Ross 
volunteered to do the doubles at Willamette which is held on the 2n Sunday 
of the Month.  

Disc Sales (Dave) Inventory is low. 285 discs.

Takena  (Dave)  currently is partially under water.  
President’s Report: (Everett) City has given us a contract for  use of 
Willamette Park for organized Club events; it is very similar to that 
of recent past years.   We are required to indemnify the city and this 
requires us to hold insurance.  President tabled this with intent to have 
a vote at January meeting after Greg does some looking into some possible 
changes in language regarding attorney’s fees etc.

President’s Cup  (Everett) Registration 7:30, Players’ meeting 8:15, Tee 
time 8:45.  Course is markedly different than usual Adair.  Most holes are 
reverse or safari.  
 
Election of Officers-President  Jay Sexton was elected by a show of hands.  
His opponent, Mr John Ross, graciously conceded.  Mr Everett Kaser was 
thanked for his years of service to the club as Adair Greenskeeper and 
more recently, as President.

Note next month’s meeting will begin at 6 PM
Respectfully submitted, Bob Burton, secy.
