Meeting of the Paducah Golf Commission
Meeting called to order by Chairman Loyd at 6:00 PM at Paxton Park.
Chairman Loyd led the Commission in the Pledge of Allegiance.
Commissioners Present: Chairman Rick Loyd, Steve Seltzer, Bill Wells, Mark Knecht, Mark
Kettler, John W. Gill, & Jeanne Stroup, Secretary.
Others Present: Director Daniel R. Mullen
Motion by Mark Knecht to approve the May Minutes as written. Motion Second by
Mark Kettler. Motion carried.
Chairman Loyd requested presentation of Old Business:
• The CPA firm provided their audit report. We received a clean report, will provide copies
to the City in the nem few days.
• An email was sent to the City Manager this morning regarding our funding for this year
and for any further information on the paving request, no response at the time of the
meeting.
• Potholes in the driveway have still not been fixed. Director Mullen spoke to Chris
Yarber, Director of Public Works, and indicated that if he would bring the course 5 tons
of cold patch, and our maintenance crew could fix the potholes as well as some other
places on or near our cart paths. Mr. Yarber let Director Mullen know the City was
waiting on cold patch but he has agreed to do this, the course will be required to pay for
the cold patch.
• Director Mullen provided updates on upcoming tournaments:
0 30 teams so far in the City Am 2 -Player scramble with more expected.
o Cobb entries have been sent out and are coming in everyday. Currently we have
42 players, 6 professionals.
• We have engaged a contractor to get the new practice green "sprig ready". We began
work on it with our backhoe but it was found to be inadequate. The new contractor will
begin in July and once he starts it should only take a few days to get it ready. The cost
increase due to this engagement was paid for by a private donation and was authorized
by the original donor requesting the green renovations.
• Some of the additional trees to be removed have been removed but others are still
waiting due to rain and other staff/maintenance obligations.
• Request for any flexibility for on course paving has been asked of Jim Smith Contracting
but no response has been received yet. Plan to move forward with 108 players in the
Cobb, this should pay for the cost estimate difference in a worst-case scenario.
• Still waiting for answers on the cost of additional tarps for certain greens. Director
Mullen indicated he should have additional information by the next meeting.
• Work has begun on the landscaping around the pavilion and Bill Sturgis memorial has
been received for installation. Director Mullen felt that once this work and the practice
green is completed, any money left over in the restricted funds could go towards
installation of moguls and sod behind 9 green to give this area a more finished look with
some visual definition behind the green from the fairway.
NEW BUSINESS:
• May green fee play was down 6% ---YTD is up 16% thru the end of the first 5 months. June
numbers have been crushed by the periodic rain—down approximately 40%.
Secretary Stroup went over current financial status, noted that due to lack of current funding and
some large expenses coming up, it was necessary to draw more from our line of credit.
Motion to Adjourn made by Steve Seltzer. Motion Second by Mark Knecht. Motion
Carried.
Next meeting: July 20, 2021 at 6:00 PM.
Rick Loyd, Chairman Jeanne Stroup, Secretary
