Will ask for any ideas from the membership about new holes at Dief, then we can vote and pass it to the city. Maintenance and utilities will have to be on side. Scott will talk with the city about replacing teepads that were removed. Would like to do a walk through of the U of S tree farm, there is space for 3+ 18 hole courses. Could find funding from sask tourism, we could bring people in from out of town. What about changing the hole numbering? We could change it on udisc and get decals/repaint. Will coordinate with Kevin to get the word out to the public.	Scott moving foreword to finish Diefenbaker. Scott looking at physical and udisc options to change hole numbers.

We are allowed to compete in a singles environment. The next phase of covid restrictions will allow 150 people outside. There may be some interest in serving adult beverages at tournaments.	To post registration for Solstice tournament in th next two weeks
Finance	Some cheques to clean up. Pay pal account needs to be coordinated. Good meetings with other directors about their finances. we can do etransfers for prizes but not for expenses. $570 from membership tournament to course development.

Ordered custom stamped junior discs, will arrive at the end of the program. 50-55 discs with 30 juniors, will sell the rest after. Coaches jerseys are ordered. Registration, filled at 28 spots. 7 on the wait list. Capacity could be 36. Have opened it to 32 people given coaches. so still 2 on wait list. Some kind of signage may be helpful for Wednesdays? A lawn sign for hole 1? Adults have approached Alex looking for lessons. There is demand, but do we want to take it on? It could be in the form of clinics, one off or monthly. Perhaps we need another board position to take this on? Could use other less used parks to bring exposure.(Reids community Assoc is already doing this) What about a directory for private lessons?	Alex will chase down sign options. Kevin B will start a directory on the web site.(Jay, Alex and Kodi will put their name in)
Tournament	Escape open, have made a sub committee: Alex, Kevin, Jason, Scott. Have looked at layouts for tournament. Looking to sell more sponsorships. Prodigy possible equipment sponsor. registration opens mid-may. May 1 membership drive. The city is hesitant with Covid. Despite our safeguards (virtual meeting, online scoring, etc) Likely we wouldt need to book the course if it came to that. Would like 5-6 people at hole one to direct traffic. Also need 18 baskets so they can preview alternate pin locations, perhaps a few sleeves could be sunk? What about prizing/payouts? We could use the entry fees, there seems to be support for this.	Looking for volunteers for the membership tournament. Motion to buy 9 more lights from Kodi (18 total) from Marc L, second by Kris. None opposed, motion carries
Communications	Have been updating the website for 2021. Still need logos for sponsorships.	Alex please proof updates to junior page.
Finance	Dealt with signing authority. Need to pay for basket going to Donna, waiting for invoice from Escape. Will meet with Alex re accounting.
Secretary	Nothing to add.
Course Development	Have replaced Missing basket at Donna Birkmaier. Have sent a tree layout to the city for approval. Looking to do a walkthrough with them this month. Diefenbaker alternates the City is very cooperative: we have 14 sleeves. So we need 4 at least. We could also sink tournament sleeves (3) as well. Scott will send out a final layout to the board. The city will let us use the hill in the summer, could add three holes to the hill for sure. We could use 10 sleeves. Scott will look into pricing. Plus 3 for practice Scott is a pricing out signage and applying for funding from the city. Some talk about the city putting in random baskets in parks for putting etc. City wants something done around tee boxes at Reid, we may need to convince them to use shale? Do we need to protect people at practice area at Reid? Perhaps signage could help with this. When do we move to parking lot of Dief for hole 1. We could start with the Escape Open. League will move to the lot as well and start on the current 13 (this will be the new hole 1)
Any other Business?	Jay would like to move the good baskets from Birkmeier to Dief and swop. Seems to be support. Either before League. or wait until Escape Open. Do we have a tent? James L? Need something for the women’s tournament.
Motion to adjourn	Scott 9:59

Note Taker: Kevin B

Agenda Item	Notes	Action/Decision Follow-up
Call to order at 8:04	Motion to accept agenda by Alex, Andy Motion to accept past meeting minutes by Kevin, Scott
President’s Report	Great job on Ice Bowl. Need to get Kodi paid for the lights. Joined Scott to meet with the city this Friday; lots of good news coming for Dief
Course development	Contacted the city councillor and Briarwood community association about Donna; asked for help fundraising for teepads; asked for information from the community about missing basket, but we’ll replace it ($400) Met with Mark from the city. The city has asked us to re-number holes such that hole #1 is close to the parking lot near the ball diamonds. The board agrees. We’ll plan to do this along with alternate tee placements in the spring. The city is ok with us using any space on the public side of the permanent fence around Optimist hill. This includes the east side of the hill, and LOTS of space North of the hill. The city is also planning to plant new trees to replace those lost in the Optimist hill work. They’re willing to work with us on where they will be placed. The city is also ok with using space near the current hole #12. Along with space near the hill, this makes room for several additional holes across the park. The board will plan alternate pin locations for this spring, along with re-numbering the holes, and work on teepads for the holes we have. Additional holes will come in future years (with new trees). The city is willing to work with us on putting a sign up at Reid. No sponsorships allowed.	Scott to send notes on potential new pin locations to the executive Andy to work on the design map to go on a permanent sign at Reid
Membership development	Registration page is now up on DGScene Sponsors sound like they will be the same as last year	James to send Kevin B list of sponsors
Leagues	Been looking into getting tags No other news PDGA league will be the same night as Gophertown, but we’ll try to start earlier to avoid issues with it getting too dark
Sport Development	$40 fees will cover a junior membership (valued @ $10) and event fees ($30) Looking for volunteer coaches. Ideally would like to have 1 coach per 4 kids
Tournaments	Ice Bowl was a success. 62 registrants (!) UDisc didn’t quite work out due to our choose-your-own-groups format. Participants were gracious Proposed dates for other tournaments this year: Spring Membership Drive – May 1 Trilogy Challenge – June 5 or 6 Summer Solstice – June 19 Sask open – July 24th/25th Ace Race – Sept 18 — volunteer TD needed NADGT series – maybe July 10.
