The weather may have been perfect, but pin placements were not. With the placements being difficult, scores came in high before the turn. Multiple coaches voiced their concerns and a short break was taken between the front and back nine and hole placements were moved on five of the nine holes. 10/17/2023 11:00 PM

Hamilton City Council Discussed Needed Water Tower Maintenance
Hamilton City Council Discussed Needed Water Tower Maintenance
Treasurer Cindy Hardin was present at the Hamilton City Council meeting last Tuesday for consultation as City Council members discussed the water tower and needed maintenance. Mayor David Harris shared drone footage showing rust/deterioration needing to be addressed. It was noted during discussion that the inspection completed did not reference this. Councilman Charlie Schlotterbeck commented that holding inspection of the standpipe would be something to consider as it is not included in the tower assessment due to this being insulated. A bid was received from Cunningham to complete needed repairs outlined in the inspection report for the amount of $69,465. This does not include the work needed to the standpipe. As available funds and needed work were considered, Schlotterbeck noted that he felt this would withstand the winter, to hopefully be addressed in the spring/summer to afford additional time for savings and scheduling. It was noted that the city could look at completing work to the tank interior and the standpipe and leave the tank exterior to budget for down the road. Exploration of options to finance the project was also discussed so that the entire project could be completed at once. The city will seek estimates for needed repairs and insulation and revisit discussion. 10/17/2023 11:00 PM
