GOLF COURSE VOL i1NTEERS—REQUEST FOR ADDITIONAL FUNDS, Continued) <br /> McMillan stated as of August 31,the golf course has lost$28,388 to date and that the$60,000 was a <br /> projection. <br /> Bremer commented this is a multi-year thing and that the golf course has lost money for a number of <br /> years. <br /> McMillan stated she is in total agreement with Council Member Levang and that the volunteer group is <br /> providing a lot of free labor for the golf course community. The course has been neglected for quite a <br /> while but the clubhouse is in good, solid shape. The clubhouse requires some paint and a new roof but a <br /> little money now will go a long way toward keeping the building into the future. <br /> Struve noted the City has only received one bid to date and that Staff will be obtaining additional bids. <br /> Bremer asked if the bid is a not to exceed type of thing. <br /> Struve stated it is and that Staff will make some adjustments and pursue some additional options. The <br /> proposed motion is for an amount not to exceed$9,800. <br /> Levang moved,Printup seconded,to authorize the use of contingency funds in an amount not to <br /> exceed$9,800 for the requested projects by the volunteer group for the Orono Golf Course. <br /> VOTE: Ayes 4,Nays 1,Anderson Opposed. <br /> PUBLIC WORKS DIRECTOR/CITY ENGINEER'S REPORT,CONTINUED <br /> Struve reported the stop sign on Old Crystal Bay Road has been installed and traffic has been monitored <br /> by himself and the Orono Police Chie£ Struve stated based on what they have seen for traffic patterns, <br /> there have not been any significant difference from the past. Traffic does extend out to County Road 6, <br /> which is has done in the past,but longer lines have not been noticed on County Road 6 that would lead <br /> Staff to believe the stop sign is creating additional traffic issues on Old Crystal Bay Road.
