AGENDA ITEM <br />Prepared By: JG Reviewed By: Approved By:RJO <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />1. Purpose. The purpose of this action item is to gain approval to proceed with the golf course irrigation <br />pond dredging project. <br /> <br />2. Background. Staff recommends that the irrigation pond at the golf course be dredged as part of <br />maintenance of the pond and the irrigation system. Currently, an excess of organic build up has developed <br />in the bottom of the pond which has led to increased algae blooms and aquatic weeds, low water clarity, <br />an unsightly appearance, and foul odors. The irrigation system is a pump system which draws water out <br />of this pond to water the turf areas throughout the golf course. Over the last few years the heavy algae <br />blooms and submerged weeds has clogged up the irrigation suction screen and decorative fountain <br />numerous times which renders these systems unusable. By dredging the irrigation pond the reliability of <br />the irrigation system will return and the pond will regain its lost aesthetics as a golf course water feature. <br /> <br />3. Project Scope.
