Finance Officer Nielson said a decision needs to be made regarding the parking lot and overflow parking
lot in the next five year. A decision will also need to be made regarding the septic system. The main issue is
that there are no sewer service lines to connect from Teton Lakes to on 12th West.
Discussion regarding a contingency plan if the septic system were to fail. Finance Officer Nielson expressed
his concerns with putting money into a parking lot with lights if the ground is needed for a septic system. A
map of the potential parking lot location and septic drain field were reviewed on the overhead screen.
Finance Officer Nielson reviewed the Capital Improvement Plan Budget items. The $40,000 budget item
for the Teton Lakes-Expand Parking lot South should be postponed until the septic system plans and full
parking lot master plan are determined.
Finance Officer Nielson said a design for the Legacy Golf Course driveway and sidewalk design. The
budgeted amount for the project is $47,000 which is probably estimated low.
Discussion regarding additional employee parking stalls and paved drop off location at the Legacy Golf
Course. A map of the location was viewed on the overhead screen. The Board Members decided to move
forward with the master plan design for Teton Lakes and the driveway and sidewalk design for the Legacy.
Board Member Sorensen said there needs to be a safe location for the children participating in the golf
lessons to be dropped off and for the parents to get back onto the road safely. He prefers to have a safe
drop off zone then the additional parking stalls. There are patrons that park on the other side of the street
and cross the road to get to the golf course.
Finance Officer Nielson continued to review the Capital Improvement Plan Budget items. The rough
mower-used item has a budget of $20,000. The $90,000 amount is budget to complete the painting of the
deck/cart storage and furniture for the deck. The amount already spent on rebuilding the deck was $159,000
and the items still needing to be complete are the concrete work, handrails, and paint.
Discussion regarding the design for an electrical services upgrade at Teton Lakes. A fiber hut is part of the
design. Finance Officer Nielson noted the service upgrades will be expensive.

additional revenues. Finance Officer Nielson said a decision needs to be made regarding the scoreboard
especially if it needs to be mounted on the deck.
