What: The golf division's monthly results and capital position, presented by golf staff (captioned "Dawn").
Where it stands: Year-to-date rounds are close to last year; September revenue was about $636,000 against about $642,000 a year earlier despite a roughly two-week course closure for fairway renovation; revenue for the year is up about $206,000.
Next: Irrigation system contracts for two courses were going to the city council the next day (October 13).

Total golf funds are close to $3.4 million; the general operating fund was reported at $1.355 million with an expected adjustment to about $1.455 million, and equipment and grounds project funds of about $72,000 and $96,000.
Irrigation bids: one course came in about $50,000 under budget (about $2.45 million) and the other about $300,000 over; capital funds cover all but about $200,000, which would come from other funds. Staff attributed the increase to estimates made about three years ago and fuel costs.
Ideas for food and beverage sales on busy days; the driving range is up about $29,000. A staff meeting the prior Friday shifted focus to operational efficiency.
Course names are garbled in the captions.
