Just a couple 386 00:13:39,519 --> 00:13:42,320 quick ones. the quick the uh irrigation 387 00:13:42,320 --> 00:13:44,560 project of a year and a half ago, a very 388 00:13:44,560 --> 00:13:47,120 uh considerable project, is doing great. 389 00:13:47,120 --> 00:13:48,560 We haven't had a bit of a problem with 390 00:13:48,560 --> 00:13:51,200 it. It's been a lifesaver because that 391 00:13:51,200 --> 00:13:54,480 project helped us uh to isolate greens. 392 00:13:54,480 --> 00:13:56,639 So, when we do have a problem, in this 393 00:13:56,639 --> 00:13:58,800 case, elsewhere on the golf course, we 394 00:13:58,800 --> 00:14:00,720 won't have more than two greens that 395 00:14:00,720 --> 00:14:03,120 have been isolated. And that is just a 396 00:14:03,120 --> 00:14:04,959 just a lifesaver because I think many of 397 00:14:04,959 --> 00:14:07,760 you know in the past that if we had a 398 00:14:07,760 --> 00:14:10,079 problem all 10 greens were down and we 399 00:14:10,079 --> 00:14:13,040 had help from people sitting here uh to 400 00:14:13,040 --> 00:14:14,560 save our greens in the past but that 401 00:14:14,560 --> 00:14:16,639 that time is behind us. So we're very 402 00:14:16,639 --> 00:14:18,560 glad of that. Now we've had some issues 403 00:14:18,560 --> 00:14:20,560 with some of the old system as we would 404 00:14:20,560 --> 00:14:22,160 expect and we'll probably be taking a 405 00:14:22,160 --> 00:14:24,160 look at that see if there are other uh 406 00:14:24,160 --> 00:14:26,320 things that we can do uh for that 407 00:14:26,320 --> 00:14:29,120 prevention. Also, the uh robotic mowers 408 00:14:29,120 --> 00:14:31,120 that we took a look at and were going to 409 00:14:31,120 --> 00:14:32,639 get them last year. That didn't work 410 00:14:32,639 --> 00:14:35,279 out, but they are on order now and don't 411 00:14:35,279 --> 00:14:36,639 know when they'll be in. Hopefully, 412 00:14:36,639 --> 00:14:39,440 fairly soon. And and so we're we're very 413 00:14:39,440 --> 00:14:42,000 pleased. Uh if you remember that we had 414 00:14:42,000 --> 00:14:45,120 a demonstration or just simply brought 415 00:14:45,120 --> 00:14:47,440 one in to to view it. It's going to be 416 00:14:47,440 --> 00:14:48,639 very similar. It's going to be the 417 00:14:48,639 --> 00:14:51,279 upgrade of that of that mower that they 418 00:14:51,279 --> 00:14:53,760 demonstrated a year ago. And so we're 419 00:14:53,760 --> 00:14:55,440 we're excited about getting them in. 420 00:14:55,440 --> 00:14:58,079 We'll be mowing te's fairways and the 421 00:14:58,079 --> 00:15:00,240 collars around the greens for sure and 422 00:15:00,240 --> 00:15:01,839 maybe even be able to move out and mow 423 00:15:01,839 --> 00:15:03,360 some of the rough or green banks or 424 00:15:03,360 --> 00:15:06,959 anything like that.

As I'm sure you all are 495 00:16:48,720 --> 00:16:50,959 aware at this point, some temporary uses 496 00:16:50,959 --> 00:16:52,560 require governing body approval, and 497 00:16:52,560 --> 00:16:55,839 this is one such use. Uh, the applicant 498 00:16:55,839 --> 00:16:58,800 has requested to set up on September the 499 00:16:58,800 --> 00:17:00,639 1st and tear down by the end of the day 500 00:17:00,639 --> 00:17:03,360 on November the 17th this year, which 501 00:17:03,360 --> 00:17:06,000 you will probably recognize is a larger 502 00:17:06,000 --> 00:17:08,319 time period than last year and other 503 00:17:08,319 --> 00:17:12,160 previous years. Um, staff do feel that 504 00:17:12,160 --> 00:17:14,880 that may be a little more wide than it 505 00:17:14,880 --> 00:17:17,839 needs to be.

So it might look like there's 517 00:17:40,480 --> 00:17:42,640 more but it's actually basically the 518 00:17:42,640 --> 00:17:45,200 same as as what we've seen before.
