Minutes of the Fulton Country Club Board of Directors
September 30, 2008



	The regularly scheduled monthly meeting of the Board of Directors
 of the Fulton Country Club was held at the Club on September 30, 2008, at 6:30 o’clock p.m. 
 Present at the meeting were Richard Bielenberg, Arnie Housenga, Linda Gilbert, 
Donald Doughty, Jeff Harmon, Steve Workman, Kenneth Schrader, Mike Heusenkveld, 
and Gary Rolfes.

	The meeting was called to order by Richard Bielenberg.    Minutes of the meeting
 previously held on August 26, 2008, were presented and approved without objection or
 amendment.  Thereafter Richard Winkel presented financial statements for the period 
ending August 31, 2008, which consisted of the statement of assets, liabilities and members’ 
equity, together with statements of revenue and expenses.  The Board reviewed the statements 
and heard the comments of Mr. Winkel.  The financial statement for the Club was reported and 
found to be all in good order.  It was noted that the Club has excess positive cash flow income 
of $96,000.00.  The Board discussed present financial markets and the possible need to hold 
cash and in addition discussed future expenses.  It was noted that this next year the Club may
 be required to purchase a new fairway mower.  The board discussed our present note payable 
and after discussion it was resolved upon motion duly made, seconded and unanimously
approved to apply the sum of $30,000.00 as an additional principal payment on the note payable. 

	Thereafter Ken Schrader reported for the Grounds and Greens Committee.  He 
reported on the work being done on the course.  He also reported that the sprinkler system 
will most probably be blown out around the first week of November unless weather dictates 
an earlier date.  He also reported that the course Superintendent appears to be operating within 
his budget.  Mr. Schrader also reported that the Cushman power cart is presently not working. 
 It is 17 years old and the committee will look at cost of repairs for this power cart.

	The Sports Committee had no report.

	The Building and Grounds Committee reported by Jeff Harmon that some of the
 parking lot lights are in need of replacement, so that will be accomplished.  

	Richard Bielenberg reported on behalf of the Bar and Pro Shop and stated that the
 Health Department has recently inspected the Club and that the Club has passed the inspection. 
 The course will continue to open at 7:30 a.m. as long as weather permits.

	Under new business the Board discussed the present stump removal and there was
 a general discussion on cart shed applications.  There was discussion about whether or not 
the Christmas Party should be continued and it was decided that this issue should be discussed
 at the annual meeting.  Ken Schrader requested that the course purchase an equipment lift 
which would be used by the Superintendent to work on course equipment.  Upon motion duly
 made, seconded and unanimously approved, it was resolved that the sum of $315.00 be spent 
on the purchase of an equipment lift. 

	There being no further business to come before the Board, the meeting was 
then adjourned.

Respectfully submitted,



Gary Rolfes
