I. CONVENE IN OPEN SESSION:
A. CITIZEN BUSINESS / STAFF ANNOUNCEMENTS: Ms. Bell updated the Commission
on the closing of the large dog area at the dog park due to an algal bloom in a puddle. She reported
staff had met on site this morning with Engineer, Art Gasbarro and decided that the best course of
action was to add some subsurface drain inlets and add fill to some areas to pitch toward the drains
to prevent future puddles. She said standing water, excess nutrients due to dog waste, and wanner
temperatures had likely caused the issue. Further, while the park was closed she said they would like
to replant the area with a hardier grass. Mr. Oberly and Mr. Kuszpa agreed that the mix of micro-
clover and rye should stand up better to heavy use. Ms. Bell said it was unclear how long the park
would need to be closed but health and safety of the public and dogs was the top priority and it would
not reopen until the issue was resolved.
B. GOLF BUSINESS:
1. Sconset Golf Course—Manager's Monthly'Review: The Commission reviewed
the balance sheet and profit and loss comparisons for April 2022 sent in a meeting packet prior to

season. Mr. Galvin said he and the MGC Restaurant Manager were looking into ways to increase
food options, such as an outdoor grill or hot dog steamer. Currently they have packaged snacks and
prepackaged sandwiches. He would report back at a future meeting.
Lindsay Daley and Courtney Macey of PPX Event Planners entered the meeting at 4:12 p.m.
2. Miacomet Golf Course ("MGC")—Manager's Monthly Review: The Commission
reviewed the profit and loss summary for April 2022. Mr. Oberly reported increases in both rounds
-
and covers year-to-date. He said the golf shop revenue was lower than budgeted, which he

May 24, 2022
attributed to projecting higher income for the simulator. He said the golf shop revenue was hitting
the budget numbers. Mr. Oberly updated the Commission on the capital projects underway; new bar
and bar flooring installed; lights in the parking lot ready for installation; generator installed awaiting
final hookup to building systems; and the irrigation system improvements were complete. Mr.
Galvin said he had done a housing analysis which will be sent to the Commission. The overall result
is NGM, Inc. pays out approximately $170,000 of which$130,000 is collected from the employees.
He said NGM, Inc. pays for utilities and small repairs on Land Bank buildings as well as
subsidizing $40,000 in rents for employees. Commissioner Jelleme inquired about staffing. Mr.
Oberly said they were in good shape, except for the back of the house in the restaurant. He needed
