many area schools including Beverly High School, Danvers High School
and Pingree. Membership prepayment is due December 11. The greens fees
were down in September due to weather. Both tennis and functions are up.

There are four courts open which will drop in approximately two weeks. It
has been a good summer. The town recreation program also uses these
courts.

Martin and Chad met with Bryant and Mayor Cahill; they are committed to
the 181h hole and further review is needed regarding club house renovations,
a possible option relates to the historic register. This will remain as an
agenda item and further review of the historic register will be done.
Hole 18 —The DEP has come back after the director reviewed. They want
to shorten by 100 sq feet but also want 2400 sq feet of water mitigation.
This has been reviewed by the Conservation Commission, they indicated
some trees should not be removed. After a conference call, a drawing was
completed. All agreed they do not want to affect playability. BG&T expects
to present (holes 9 and 18) at the next conservation commission meeting
which is the day after election day. Once done, we can get bid and be ready
to go in the Spring.
Hole 9 & 12 —No proposal yet, target completion for Spring.
Tennis court screen — Bill asked Mike to obtain a quote for a court screen,
for the first two banks, and to look into cost with the logo. Logo should be
facing in.
Spring maintenance—obtain a proposal for resurfacing tennis courts. It
was determined that we should reach out to David Gelineau to ask about
how best to handle this.
Summit Supply Co.—has been out a couple of times to fix dishwasher;
there is a concern that they will exhaust their ability to service the
dishwasher in place. Estimate for replacement has been received. Chris will
show Summit the two models and estimate received to obtain their opinion.
We want to be sure the option chosen will fit the space.

tree. This Thursday night the family is coming out to have a memorial
ceremony.
