Board Members:

 

Maranto informed the Board he has received an email from a member regarding the Dress Code, jeans in the Clubhouse. The current policy states “no blue jeans allowed at dinners”.

JJ stated there have been a few people wearing jeans and the staff reminds them of the policy. The Board informed the managers if there are repeated offenders; bring them up to the Board. With the extreme cold weather this winter and the need for heavy clothes, the policy has not been strictly enforced.

  

Unglaub reported that new reports have been generated and the Board has received copies. He explained the reports. Unglaub stated to the Managers & the Board, watch the budget and be aware of how it was created The Pro-Shop payroll seems high considering the terrible weather we have been having.
