Golf fees increase; water treatment plant expansion, fi re s^atlbh^ I most complete
from pago 1
Golf course, project updates
An inQrease in Livingston
Municipal Golf Course fees was in-
cluded in the city’s new budget
The fee increases became official
with council approval Tuesday.
Green fees will rise to $10 a day
on weekdays and $15 a day on
weekends during the summer
season (March 1 through Sept. 30)
and will remain at $8 a day on
weekdays and $12 a day on
weekends during the winter season
(Oct 1 through Feb. 29). Member-
ship fees for residents and property
owners in Polk County will be
$250 for the first membership in a
family, $150 annually for the
second membership in a family and
$50 for students. Non-residents and
non-property owners will be
charged $300 for the first family
membership, $200 for the second
membership and $75 for students.
For tournaments, the course may
be rented for $600 a day, with a
minimum of 110 players required
for an all-day rental; $400 for a
half-day and $1,000 for a weekend.
The course will not be available for
rent of holiday weekends. Local
civic clubs, booster organizations
and golf-related clubs are given
priority.
Gordon reported that revenue
from the golf course has increased
by 25-30 percent during the past
year, but that increased usage has
also resulted in increased main-
tenance costs.
Councilmembers approved a
change order and payment related
to construction of a lift station and
transmission line to provide was-
tewater service to the new prison.
Since base stabilization was per-
formed on the new U.S. 59 Bypass
access road prior to transmission
line installation, workers had to
bore under the highway rather than
install the line in open trenches,
Gordon explained. The cost of 89
linear feet of under-road boring
was partially offset by a chain link
at the Dump station which had been
included in the city’s part of the
project, but the prison installed in-
stead. In short, the change order
added $7,161 to the contract price.
A partial $24,041 payment to
Doughtie Plumbing was approved
for the pump station/transmission
line work. Gordon said the oily will
likely start treating wastewater
from the prison on Oct. 30 and
should be completely finished with
its part of the project by Nov. 15.
Updating other projects, he said
the Trinity River Authority’s water
treatment plant expansion is ex-
pected to be complete within the
next 30 days; the airport improve-
ment project is expected to be com-
plete by Dec. 1, although there is
still one small parcel of "clear
zone” property to be acquired; and
the city’s maintenance shop should
be relocated to the recently-pur-
chased Bowen Automotive build-
ing on North Washington Avenue
with a couple of weeks. There are a
few "punch list” items left to com-
plete on the city’s wastewater treat-
ment plant, but the plant is opera-
tional, he said.
The new fire station on Abbey
Street is "99 percent complete," ac-
Facilities Committee meets Monday
USD to vote on Challenge
cording to the city manager.
Work is about to begin on a loop
to improve water pressure at the
high school. Easement still neegs to
be obtained through one piece of
property, but there have been some
problems trying to determine who
actually owns the property, he said.
By placing the high school on a dif-
ferent water line, pressure should
also be improved in the area around
SHECo and First and Second
streets.
Financial award, bids
For the fourth year in a row, the
city has been awarded the Govern-
ment Finance Officers Association
Award of Financial Reporting
Achievement The mayor and city
manager commended City
Secretary Marilyn Sutton for her
work, which helped lead to receipt
of the award.
The city council authorized Gor-
don to award a bid on the purchase
of three electric transformers for
the Wal-Mart Superstore project.
Bids will be opened Friday morn-
ing.
In other business, the council:
•Acknowledged award of bids,
opened at last month’s meeting, on
the purchase of a variety of chemi-
cals for the fiscal year and on the
purchase of playground equipment
for the Matthews Street park. The
latter bid was awarded to the low
bidder, Miracle Recreation, for
$24,988.
•Rejected bids on the purchase of
an aerial bucket truck for the
Electric Department, opting to
readvertise with new specifications.
•Agreed to designate Hopkins,
Vetters and Palmerton as auditors
for fiscal year 1991-92. Mike
Parker, CPA has performed the
audit for the past several years,
working with Hopkins, Vetters and
Palmerton, but asked that the com-
pany be designated as the official
auditors due to a work scheduling
conflict.
•Authorized advertisement for
bids on the purchase of a half-ton
pickup truck for the Water and
Sewer departments.
•Reappointed Councilmember
Gene Bush to the Sam Rayburn
Municipal Power Agency Board of
Directors.
The council’s next regular meet-
ing will be held on Nov. 10.
