Members have been emailing their city councilors.  Met with the Brad the Director recreation and community development department regarding this.

His understanding was that we would never have less than 18.  Nothing will get pulled until alts are in so as to maintain 18 holes, we have this commitment in writing now. We will put out a post to the membership stating this.

Apparently there are no survey lines, just a rough map.

Have also emailed the development group to see if there has been any movement there. June 2022, things should start to move as the aforetatin titles should be settled.

Jacob will mention some of this to CTV.

Golf dome? Gordy Howe sports complex? Jacob will take it back to the sub committee 

Jacob to take putting league idea back to league subcommittee.
Sport Development

Alex

CN closed their application portal, they will open it in mid February. Maybe for teepad surrounds? Tree protectors? The later would likely be more appropriate for the funds available.

Hoping to order Junior players packs early. SDG should be able to use their paypal account for this, Jason.

Need access to discgolf scene to set up membership. Kevin B will add him now.

What about a lost disc return competition? Will discuss a name and art for this with Andy.

We could set our year end to whatever we want.

PDGA uses the calendar year, so we could move to that same model.

Directors

Want to purchase shovel/scraper, can’t approve that expense without quorum.

Have funding for signage at Reid from city park enhancement program. Still need signholders from Jay White.

Dief signage is still incomplete until new layouts are finalized (we’re losing holes 15-18 because they are not irrigated). May gain some holes on/near the hill.

Leagues No updates
Sport Director CN rail has a community board that gives out funding. Disc golf may be a good fit since their track goes right by Reid. Applications are due in March.

City has similar grants. So does Federated Co-op. Board will investigate

Membership DG Sask wants clubs to be sending them money based on membership numbers. Still unknown what Saskatoon Disc Golf would get out of it (Sask Sport status?)

Any Agenda items to add None.  Motion to accept agenda, Wendy. Second Tyrone
Accept the minute from last meeting Motion to accept, Wendy. Second Scott.
Directors:
Course Development

-Scott C

Diefenbaker. The City has nothing on file for our park access permit, it had been approved. So I resubmitted.  First call should be out there marking things. Nothing back from the solicitor’s office about our positions on the hill.

Walk through with J. Houk of Aforestation areas, he thought both locations could work. Escape is very on board with the idea, perhaps a summer pro shop at the italian centre, possibly a licenced location.

SDG to meet with Meewasin and the City on October 15th. Perhaps Meewasin has other location ideas for us?

AFORESTATION group has some curious demands. They seem to be taking a fairly strong stance.  We would need a memo of understanding, and a process in place to ensure things don’t become problematic. Perhaps a sit down could allay some of their concerns. If not, it could be a problem. Again, perhaps MVA or the City could have another space without other stakeholders.

Membership Development

-James L

A few more memberships in the last few weeks, roughly 218 members.
Sport Development

-Alex P

Will start looking into school visits, when I’m back in town. 

Casey, Victoria school is running a small program, that could be an opportunity.

Kevin, Principal from Montgomery School reached out looking for funding for discs. 

Alex to follow up with These two schools

Communications

-Kevin B

Principal from Montgomery School reached out looking for funding for discs, or grants for discs.

Talk with Kevin if you need help with your board email

Finance

-Jason C

All expense reports are now in.

We are nearly out of cheques, I will order some. Generally we don’t pay out people with e transfer.  I would like a one time permission to clear all owing money with a combination of cheques and e transfer, motion by Jason.  Second Wendy.  None opposed.

Would like to have a preliminary close off of the books by this weekend, then we can start looking at the AGM.  

Kevin and Jason will look make a communications plan for the AGM
Any other business Alex: Do we have a date for the AGM? Yes, Sunday November 1st 1pm

James: email from the City re the cutting of grasses in Donna Birkmaier Park.  We need an email list for AGM announcement and perhaps we could also remind the membership not to modify the courses.  Kevin will look into this

Wendy: Who is not coming back to the board, and have they shoulder tapped anyone?  Jason will send out an email to the board about this.

Kevin to build email list of members for AGM notification etc

Any Agenda items to add No, standard agenda. Motion to accept, Scott. Second Wendy/  None opposed.
Accept the minute from last meeting Kevin Will edit and post them for approval.
Accept Julys minutes (August didn’t have quorum) Motion to approve, Wendy. Second, Jay.  None opposed.
President Not much to report.  Looking foreword to todays discussion.
Course development How is the sign construction coming along Jay? It is in Jason’s Yard, Jay will pick it up and mount it.

City of Saskatoon has given us some time to install signs.  Do we want to install all 18 alternates now, even though we may lose some holes. We would have to reapply to install on the hill, that is a different process involving the optimists(The solicitor’s office). Two more holes not including the hill would get us up to 18.

The City wants holes 15-18 offline for summer.

Motion to put in all alternate pins at Dief minus 15-18, plus a practice basket. Also add main sign. Motion Scott, second Casey. None opposed.

Scott would like to show the City some options around the irrigation bowl

Perhaps we need to push back a bit more publicly, about the loss of 15-18, and also the original 5 holes.  We could reach out to Marin Loewan, City Counsellor.

A letter to the City Counsel? It would be good to appeal to City counsel about where we were 5 years ago and where we find ourselves.

Do we want to put another basket in at Donna hole 4? Motion to Tack baskets together and replace basket 4 at Donna, Casey, Second Marc. Passed

May as well move the last two new baskets from Donna to Dief also

Scott talked with the Friends of the Aforestation area group (they gave Scott and Wendy a tour) and also the Fat tire bike group.  They sound interested in the idea of DG in their area. They don’t want any endemic trees touched, but that should be workable. They would like us to present the idea to their board. Also an inaturalist survey could help get approval.

The City and also Mewasin would need to approve of this also

Speaking with J Houk, they will generate the hype to get themselves paid and get the course installed, we don’t have to come up with the cash.

The other side of the highway could also work?

League  Sanctioned league is finished. 4 more weeks of regular league. Year end tournament first weekend of october
Membership 2 new memberships this week. And one to refund.  Up to 218 members total
Sport Development Made money in Juniors this year, per Jason.

President Good job with the tournament Kodi, it went really well. Ready to start on signs, just waiting for the go ahead. 

CTP signs for league are built.

Tournaments would like plenty of signs, Jay will make what he can with what material he has.

Course Development Signage for Reid has been approved by the City. Very close to moving ahead.

We have approval from the City for Reid and Dief info sign.  Will finalize details and with Andy and then Jay can start building the physical sign infrastructure.

Waiting to hear back from the city about new pin locations at Dief.

There have been inquiries about how to build a new course.  Scott has been telling people what is needed.

Pins at Diefenbaker have been renumbered, new vinyl. Also redone on uDisc.  Also added some signage pointing to hole 1 and 13. Old layouts have been made inactive.

Need keys from James L to move Donna baskets. It would be nice to have one key for all locks.

Scott will contact Burnetts about universal locks
Tournament Director The Solstice tournament went well. Udisc didn’t work well for the tournament, but we managed. Financials should have turned out well. A few people did bail last minute, this will affect the bottom line.

29 on the waitlist of ESO.  We are hoping to have pins in the ground for the tournament holes, but we are still waiting for the city.

Found a sign maker for a good price. $12/sign.

Plenty left to do, but we are well on our way.  Innova order is on the way.

May need hands on tournament day. for registration as well as spotting and some logistics.

Fundraiser glow round the night before the tournament, for read Saskatoon, both tournament attendees and the public can join.

Still working on a possible September Tournament.

Need to move the Donna baskets, Kodi will make a post to organize when

Agenda Item Notes Action/Decision

Follow-up

Call meeting to order
Acceptance of agenda
Accept past minutes Motion WC, second KP
President     Not much to report.

    Excited for Saskatoon Disc Golf right now. Everything’s kicking off.

    Tournaments, course development all going well.

Course Development     Did a walkthrough with the city at Dief to go over the new basket locations.

    Mark, maintenance, park staff, senior manager for park spaces were present

    Lots of talk from the city about damage to trees

    Only small alterations to proposed basket locations, mostly within 5 feet of our proposals.

      * But, we’ll only get two positions on the hill, not three

      * We can only use the free toboggan side of the hill

      * Dief can likely soon be a 20 hole course in the summer

      * Escape was happy enough to order four baskets we need for Dief. We can pay them later!

        * Two baskets for the hill, two for practice putting area

    City accepted suggestions from Scott for around the teepads (woodchips etc.), also tree-armouring

      Mark will collect feedback on these from other city staff

      We included examples of hole signage, bag holders

      This would apply to Reid as well

    Heard nothing back yet from the park enhancement program application we’ve put in

    Andy has submitted a design for a Reid course map. Board will provide feedback before we present it to the city

      When we eventually do a new Diefenbaker map we should do it in a similar style

    Scott is researching an area west of Cedar Villas reforestation area for a new course

      fat tire mountain biking club is already out there

        we have their contact information

      There is a “friends of the reforestation area group” out there. We’ll have to negotiate with them.

        Plan is to go to the city once we’ve contacted all of the user groups

    Scott has chatted with John and Dee Hauk (pro disc golf course designers, did Maple Hill etc.)

      their point of view is not to rely on the local board

      instead: develop an economic impact plan that’s presented to all potential shareholders (city, major sponsors (potentially Escape, Cameco, Nutrien, Tourism Saskatoon), RMs, etc.)

        they would host a meeting with these groups

        if they can drum up the money from those groups, they will design the course

        often what happens is people love the idea but then go with something easier/cheaper/smaller

    Orange Xs are on the ground at Reid where the city wants to plant trees

      not all locations are ideal, but they’ve heard our input

    Kris/Jay — Can we move the good baskets from Donna over to Dief?

      We should re-label the holes at Dief at the same time. Hole 13 becomes hole 1

      Announce on Facebook etc. before we move them so people know the courses will be temporarily unavailable

      Plan to do it in the evening / near dark when usage is low

Membership Development Hit 200 member mark! Have had some website issues, now resolved.  Wendy will put up some QR codes
Leagues Now have 81 members in league.  We will now meet as a big group as per regulations, “normal” league can commence. PDGA league can go ahead in June.

Need to link the spreadsheet to our website to view standings.

Kevin B will work out website link.
Skill Development Signs made to tell people where Junior league will be happening.

Fundraiser discs are in, coaches jerseys are also in.

Full program of 32 kids.  We can go as normal with restrictions lifted.  Program will run 8 weeks.  Have everything we need to get started.

Kodi and Alex put on a clinic in Warman last weekend,they had very positive feedback.

Tournament Director Escape Sports Open (ESO)  is full.  28 reserved spots for junior/women was the right amount.

Opened one hour early, but there were still 30 spots after an hour.

35 people on the waitlist

We will need at least 10 spotters.

Solstice tournament already has 58.  No word back from Crossmount yet.

Likely stat at the parking Lot

Can we move amateur side of escape open to Reid? and bring more MPO etc in? PDGA will not let us on a 9 basket course.

Round 1 will take a 5 hour loop.  Probably wise to keep it not too big for first go around.

May need to remind people about lost/looking for disc rules at the players meeting to help move things along.

In Ab they do a shot gun start with 4 different start times etc.

Good to still use hand sanitizer at tournaments no matter what the restrictions

What if the club sponsored a hole on behalf of Andy for all the work he has done on graphics, moved by Kodi.  Seconded by Scott C.  Scott: he works a lot at a high level, he makes us look good.No objections, the motion passes

Mark L will stop in on Crossmount.

Communications Behind posting minutes.  Will catch up today. Caught up on all things otherwise.
Finance League Target of 3k, have raised 6k plus.  Membership also 6k plus in revenue.

Escape open will exceed our projections buy itself.  Total we are at 18K revenue vs 12k Projected.  We are in a very good position financially.  Leagues will have access to more funding for prizing. Note: 36 people on the ESO waitlist have paid and will have to get refunded. 

Secretary Outstanding from last meeting: how to deal with numbering of baskets.  Scott C: we have a plan to deal with physical numbers and will look into udisc changing of numbers.
Sponsorship Need more hole sponsors.  We have 4, need 18 total, so if anyone knows people or businesses please pass them on.

How are we recognizing sponsors? IN players book.  Do we want a sponsor board at the event?

Do we need a sponsorship portfolio/lead person?

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.

Scott moving foreword to finish Diefenbaker.

Scott looking at physical and udisc options to change hole numbers.

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
