REPORTS Council Member Marty reported he had attended the Minnesota State Fair and had watched Tony Mortenson on his BMX bike. He then congratulated Tony on his skills. Council Member Marty indicated he had received comments concerning the turf at the golf course. He then indicated he had gone to the golf course and, in his opinion, holes 3, 4, 5, 8 and 9 are starting to look pretty rough. He further stated that it is the opinion of the pros at the golf course that if the City does not start spending money on turf management it will end up costing the City more in the long run. Council Member Marty also pointed out that the individual who is responsible for maintaining the turf is paid hourly and has been working a lot of overtime hours. He then suggested the City needs to address the issue of possibly hiring him full time as a salaried employee for next season. Mayor Sonterre had indicated that Mr. Ulrich had made that suggestion. Council Member Marty then asked whether the golf course pros contracts were settled. City Administrator Miller indicated the individuals that are now covered by the union were in a status quo and noted the City will negotiate with them.
