Subj:  MINUTES OF THE MORALE, WELFARE AND RECREATION (MWR) ADVISORY BOARD MEETING OF 5 JANUARY 2000

Ref:  (a) NAVSUPPACTMBINST 1700.2

1.  Per reference (a), the MWR Advisory Board Meeting commenced at 1000 on Wednesday, 5 January 2000, in the La Novia Room, Herrmann Hall, Naval Postgraduate School (NAVPGSCOL).

2.  Ms. Ryan asked if everyone had reviewed the minutes from the 1 September 1999 meeting.  Ms. Ryan asked for a motion to approve the minutes.  Ms. Bizzozero made a motion to approve the minutes as written, and Mr. Valleau seconded the motion.

3.  Old Business:

    a.  Ms. Leone-Mullins, Leisure Services Manager, MWR:

        (1)  Thanksgiving Buffet at Stillwell Center.  I spoke to the Club Manager at the Stillwell Center.  The reason why the Stillwell Center can do their brunches and buffets so inexpensively is that first, they don’t have as large as a spread as we do for Thanksgiving buffets or their brunches.  Second, their Commanding Officer has instructed them that they will subsidize their food program from the proceeds of their Bingo program.

    b.  Mr. Valleau, Golf Course/RV Campground Manager, MWR:

        (1)  Mr. Gale has status of the cleaning of the restroom at hole #11.

             Mr. Gale responded:  Because the outside is lead based paint, the suggestion was made to go ahead and put an overcoat to try and cover it up.  Safety and PWC essentially said that it would add to the problem which already exists.  So a work request has been submitted to PWC to essentially prep the exterior of the building.  Because it is lead based, they have to take some more steps in order to ensure that there are no paint chips left in the surrounding area and make sure they have a certified individual that can remove that paint.  Once that is completed and we have the paint on hand, we can have our personnel do that.

            Ms. Bizzozero asked:  What is the anticipated time frame?

            Mr. Gale responded:  I have to get with PWC to find out when we can get that done.  I’ll give you a call after I speak with them.

       (2)  Mr. Valleau:  As far as the cleaning of all the bathrooms at the golf course, I’ve had a meeting with my custodian and superintendent and reemphasized what I want cleaned up in the Clubhouse bathrooms.  The custodian cleans them daily, five days a week.  I’ve instructed every member of the staff that whenever they go to the Clubhouse, they spot check the bathrooms.  I also want the cook spot checking.  I’m not going to be able to put a dedicated person there to clean the bathrooms on the weekends.  I get it cleaned in the morning by maintenance, then I have maintenance check it at the end of the day.  And I’m up there two to three times during the day when I work on weekends.  The same thing with the bathroom out on #16, that’s cleaned daily.  That was emphasized too.  I just talked to Dan about the port-a- potty to make sure we’re not by-passing that.  I want them to think about it every day.  I’ll listen to feedback.  If you’re not seeing it clean enough, please come to me.

       (3)  The tee boxes and the shoe brushes.  We put new brushes in at the Clubhouse and right now we’re going through the catalogs to get new brushes for the pro-shop, clubhouse, and looking for a one-piece unit to go out on the course (i.e., trash can, ball-washer and shoe brush in one unit).  We agree to upgrade the brushes.

       (4)  Out of bound markers.  Out of bound markers are gone.

       (5)  Golf Course rough.  I’m not an advocate of pillar to post greenery.  I like the fact that we offer you two different types of golf courses.  In the Spring, you’re going to have that rough, and then when it dies out because I don’t have a water system to support off-fairway, you’ll have that dessert look.  The Superintendent of Pebble Beach gave a talk about California going back to a lot more “hard panned” than greenery.  The first year Pebble Beach did that they saved almost $25K in water.  At this point I don’t have any plans to go green from fence to fence. 

       (6)  Safety Netting for the golf course specifically on the left side of the 13th.  The letter to the Monterey Airport Commission is being sent out for concurrence for what we are going to do.  As soon as we get that back, we’ll get that netting up. 

            Ms. Bizzozero asked:  What about #11?

            Ms. Leone-Mullins replied:  That’s included.  Because of the height of the safety netting, we have to get permission from the Monterey Airport District.

            Mr. Valleau commented:  That area over on #11 would be too close to the final approach path.  A fence that high will have to get FAA approval.

            Ms. Bizzozero asked:  Do they give any idea how long it will take?

            Ms. Leone-Mullins replied:  We’ve just sent the letter out.

       (7)  The Assistant Golf Course Manager opening.  We advertised on some local channels when it first opened up, and we got two or three people to apply for it, but they really had no golf background at all, only management.  So we put the ad in the PGA Regional Bulletin.  It comes out this month and I expect to see some interest from that.  That’s the right vehicle to get in to attract somebody that’s got the skills we’re looking for.

4.  Activity Updates:

    a.  Club Update, Ms. Kim Andersen, Food and Beverage Manager:

        Cost:  $8.50

             We also offer our regular menu.

    b.  Child Development Program Update, Ms. Megan Ryan, MWR Director:

        (1)  We have just certified two new Family Child Care Providers in La Mesa Housing.  They are both going to be doing hourly care.  On occasion we have quite a bit of interest in hourly care.  So hopefully that will help fill some of the needs that some of you have for doctor appointments, etc.  If you call the Child Development Center (CDC), they normally don’t give you the Family Child Care Providers over the phone, but they can assist you in that whole program.  We are also always looking for providers.  Call CDC for more information, 656-2734.

        (2)  We also have some school-age kindergarten care program openings right now for those of you who have children in the La Mesa afternoon kindergarten and need care before and after. 

        (3)  At our last meeting, we talked about the CDC Playground Renovation being approximately 90% complete.  We are now about 95% complete.  It looks like the project may end up going a little bit longer than anticipated due to identification of additional requirements.  We hope to have it completed this Spring.  We were not happy with one of the playground surfaces because we are already seeing that the kids are digging it up and it’s scratching the equipment.  So we are looking at putting something different down. 

       (4)  I want to make sure that you are aware that the CDC is in the process of working through their accreditation process.  They are required to be accredited by June of this year.  Parents will be involved in that process because we send surveys out.  The National Association of Education for Young Children, which is the nationally recognized association for early child development programs, will be coming and accrediting the Center.  There is a lot of work going on for that.  The interior renovation project and the playground renovation projects were instrumental in readying us for that accreditation process. 

       (5)  At the end of this last fiscal year, we received year-end funds from Field Support Activity (FSA) to buy additional materials for the Center.  So if you have children there, you may be seeing a lot of new toys and musical instruments, and lots of things that we can use in the developmental program.  That’s really critical for accreditation.  We’re very excited about that and wish the staff well in achieving their goal.

    c.  Website Update, Ms. Kassie Gale, Marketing and Special Projects Coordinator:  I’ve been working with Universal Internet for quite a long time now.  We have put together the splash page for the newsletter.  The December and January newsletters are loaded.  We’ve got facility information that is loaded.  It’s coming right along.  I expect that by the time we hold our next meeting, we should be operational with our website. 

       Ms. Ryan commented:  You’ll be able to access our MWR website from home if you’re on the Internet. 

       Ms. Gale added:  It will include the Advisory Board Minutes, the newsletters, including archived issues from December 1999 through each month.  It’s also going to have information about last minute changes, like if a meeting date or location changes.  We’ll be able to go in and change that from here.  It will have job information and a link to the NPS Foundation virtual computer bulletin board which includes sale items such as cars, furniture, PC’s, rental property, etc.  We’ll also have a link to the MWR site at BUPERS, the U.S. Navy site, and a number of other quality of life sites throughout the Navy.

    d.  Facilities Update, Ms. Ryan, MWR Director: 

        (1)  The Youth Center NAFCON project, that will be built out in La Mesa Housing, has been awarded.  The pre-construction meeting is tomorrow, 6 January 2000.  We will be meeting with the company that won the award and then going through the whole pre-construction process so we can get that going.  Usually construction is two to three months after that meeting.

        (2)  On Friday, 7 January 2000, we have the 35% design review for our Gym MILCON, which is moving along very quickly.  It’s a very exciting project.  It will be built adjacent to our swimming pool facility.  Once we complete that project, the existing fitness center in building 239 will be demolitioned.  We expect the award for that project by June 2000.

        (3)  The Golf Course Complex Upgrade Project Request for Proposal, a NAFCON project, is currently in review.  I expect we will have a meeting on that in late January, early February, to go over our review comments. 

        (4)  The Club Renovation Phase I, which includes the Trident Room, lobby area, restrooms, and MWR Catering Sales Office space, is at the 45% design review stage.  We have a meeting next Tuesday, 11 January 2000, to go over those design comments.

        (5)  Are there any questions on facilities?

             Ms. Bizzozero asked:  What is the schedule for the golf course renovation?

             Ms. Ryan replied:  That’s being formulated right now and we’re all giving our comments on it, so I don’t have an exact date.  The construction will probably start within the next year. 

             Chaplain Vanden Boogard asked:  What type of impact will the new gym have on the parking availability for people attending the Catholic Chapel?

              Ms. Ryan replied:  They are talking about demolitioning the building that currently houses the Navy Exchange administrative offices.  The demolition work for that is under a separate contract.  They are planning on taking that space and creating additional parking.  I think they are really looking at that as part of the base master plan with the impact of the new gym.  The gym will be located in between the swimming pool complex and the Del Monte tennis courts.  It will be directly adjacent to the swimming pool bathhouse, on the left hand side of it.

        (6)  We are also in the process of developing a project submission for the golf course irrigation system.  We are looking at how we are going to upgrade that system (i.e., build reservoirs, etc.).

5.  New business:

    a.  Ms. Bizzozero, Monterey Pines Golf Association. 

        (1)  If the construction is not going to be completed until sometime in 2001, is there any way we can get remnant carpet to put in the bathroom over there?  Right now we have a remnant which is being held down with silver duct tape.  That carpet was put in about 1987.  With five-year depreciation, that’s a long time.

             Mr. Valleau responded:  We just had a discussion,  about going out and looking for remnant carpeting.  We thought we had a source to provide us with some good Navy blue carpeting, but it was only enough to fill up a quarter of the room, so it didn’t work.  We had another meeting to discuss “let’s go out and see what we can find”.  It’s in the works.

    b.  Chaplain Vanden Boogard, NAVSUPPACT MB Chapel. 

        (1)  Chaplain Phillips has asked how many enlisted people benefited from the cut-rate for the Thanksgiving meal?  Also, can a way be found to offer a substantial discount to E-6 and below in the future, together with significant publicity to ensure those who could benefit are aware of this MWR good deal?

             Ms. Leone-Mullins responded:  There were two enlisted sailors that came forward and requested to attend the Thanksgiving buffet.  There were also some officers and sailors from the Quarterdeck that benefited from it.  I believe it was a total of five who benefited from this at no charge.

             Chaplain Vanden Boogard asked:  How about the possibility of E-6 and below in the future and the publicity of it all to the enlisted troupes through the Command Master Chiefs, chiefs, etc.?

             Ms. Leone-Mullins responded:  I work closely with our Command Master Chief.  Anything for a single sailor, I go through the Command Master Chief.  She then disseminates the word out.  I also have an e-mail account to all the single sailors in the command and tenant commands.  I e-mail them everything that I have to offer.  It’s really then up to them to participate.  I also hand out single sailor “goodie bags” for the holidays.  I go to their offices and I personally deliver them, so they know who I am and I know who they are. 

             Mr. Cohen asked:  What about the sailors over at DLI?  Do they get information?

             Ms. Leone-Mullins responded:  The sailors at DLI have their own single sailor program. 

             Ms. Ryan added:  They are under the Presidio of Monterey’s MWR, but we are also available to serve them.  We take care of them. 

             Chaplain Vanden Boogard commented:  Those sailors (at DLI) also have two dining facilities.  They put on a fantastic spread at no extra charge because they are on a meal plan.

             Ms. Leone-Mullins added:  Also, I did personally call some of our single sailors within our command and ask if they were taken care of at Thanksgiving.  They graciously declined and said “I’m going to somebody’s house”.

        (2)  Chaplain Phillips also requested prior to last week, that a monthly “truck stop” be instituted as an addition to the upscale retiree oriented Sunday buffet.  A less expensive menu could draw lots of families from chapel communities, and military families at La Mesa who cannot afford the $15.00 per person charge, but could afford $5 or $6.  I get about 350 people on a Sunday, and on the Protestant side approximately 100.  So that’s a potential of 450 people that could come down if they like, but the $15 can be a little bit too steep for some families with several children.

             Ms. Ryan responded:  We do offer free brunch to children five and under.  For children ages five to ten, it is half-price.  So we do try to accommodate the children.  We have a very dedicated group of people that like to come here for Sunday brunch.  When we had to shut down our Sunday brunch service, because of the steam outage, we got lots of telephone calls.  It was kind of a disruption to their normal Sunday routine.  One of the things that would be helpful to us is if we had a better projection of the number of people that would take advantage of a lower priced Sunday breakfast.  I have fixed payroll costs that I have to cover, whether I take in $500 or $1000.  There are certain labor costs that are there.  So if people didn’t really take advantage of the offer, then we’re in a place where we are losing money.  As it is right now, with our Sunday brunch program, it’s not something that’s generating profits for the Club operation.  The way that it works is that profits from our Catering Sales are actually subsidizing the Sunday brunch service at its current price.  We are providing a very nice brunch for a fair price, because you’d have to pay a lot more out in town.  So the concern would be if the numbers were really there for the $6.95 breakfast, let’s say, if we could at least stay where we are right now as far as revenues to cover our operating expenses, then yes maybe we could give it a try.  But in the meantime, I think we’re going to be turning away our regular Sunday brunch patrons, because they are really looking for that nicer Sunday brunch.  So it’s kind of a “catch 22” for us.  One of the questions I had for you, Chaplain, was what timeframe are you talking about?

             Chaplain Vanden Boogard replied:  For both the Protestant and Catholic services, we have a service at 9 a.m. and another one at 11 a.m.  The 9 a.m. service would be over at approximately 10 a.m.  The 11 a.m. gets out at 12 p.m.  What would be the possibility of using this room that we’re in right now for the cheaper brunch buffet style but a little more upscale than the daily breakfast?

             Ms. Bizzozero asked:  Is the dining hall full every Sunday?

             Ms. Ryan replied:  Not every Sunday.

             Ms. Andersen added:  From 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. is when we get the majority of our customers.

             Ms. Phillips commented:  I think that Chaplain Phillips’ idea was that it’s not an either/or.  I think he was thinking that for those who want a full buffet, they come to one room and get that, and then you have the less expensive offering, like a weekday breakfast, for people who want to do that.

             Ms. Ryan responded:  I am concerned that they are competing against each other.  There is also double costs then of preparation, of set up, of clean up, and of staffing.  So my operational costs will basically double in some areas.  I don’t know that we want to be competing against ourselves. 

             Ms. Bizzozero asked:  What would the possibility of having the traditional $6.95 starting at 10 - 11:30 a.m., and then going into the full brunch starting about 11:30a.m. 

             Ms. Andersen responded:  Because patrons like to sit for a while, there is not enough turn around time to go from the traditional breakfast to the buffet and be able to monitor people going from the less expensive one to the more expensive one.

             Ms. Gale suggested:  What if you were to do a “truck stop buffet” in conjunction with a special event, i.e., the Easter Event, which is not held on Easter Sunday, but a week out.  Where families can go to the brunch and go to the hunt.  Or maybe a once a month Saturday brunch?

             Ms. Ryan added:  I think the Captain is trying to tie it in after church.  Because they have a captive audience that’s there attending church services and I think they are trying to get that same group of people to be able to go socialize afterwards.  Let us discuss this internally and decide what we think we need to do.  We’re trying to be open minded, and we want to try to accommodate your request, but unfortunately we’re not always able to accommodate everything.  But let us see what we can come up with and get back to you.

            Chaplain Vanden Boogard:  Chaplain Phillips also asks: “A command picnic was held prior to my arrival in late June.  In the six months I’ve been here, there have been no free events for the troops.  Even if a picnic or social event is linked to another cleanup, recommend some sort of really good deal for the worker bees be planned and funded.”

            Ms. Ryan responded:  We have had quite a few events since then, i.e., Halloween parties and Island parties in the Trident Room, where we have given out a lot of different kinds of hors d’oeuvres, prizes, etc., a children’s Christmas party, and National Night Out.  I think the Chaplain is suggesting to host a lunchtime picnic during the workday, after a base cleanup.

           Chaplain Vanden Boogard:  I suggest maybe a cookout near the swimming pool in the summertime on a Friday afternoon for lunch and get the command’s permission to excuse the people from work and maybe for the rest of the afternoon.  Something like this once or twice in a summertime.  It could be referred to as “The Command Picnic” where they buy a ticket for $1 or $2.

           Ms. Ryan responded:  Each command (NAVSUPPACT MB, FNMOC) has unit allocation funds. These are monies that come out of the MWR fund based on $10 per active duty member per year.  We have gotten quite a bit of draw from these funds, for example, your command Christmas party.  We did quite a bit for that.  FNMOC I know has used their funds.  So we do provide funding for those types of events.  I know that Beth has worked very closely in the past with the Enlisted Recreation Committee to come up with events.  I know we did that on the command Christmas party that we just did.  So the purpose of those funds is to help support those types of events.  But we can broach that with the Senior Enlisted Advisor and see if we can come up with an idea.

    c.  Ms. Ryan, MWR Director.  NAVSUPPACT MB is currently in the process of realigning under the Naval Postgraduate School (NAVPGSCOL).  The command structure is going to change.  MWR will actually report along with many other entities on base to a civilian head who will report to the Deputy Superintendent and then to the Admiral.  They are talking about having this be effective the 30th of January 2000.  We’re in the process right now of going through meetings to determine the actual organizational structure.  They have come up with the functional structure, but we will actually fall under NAVPGSCOL.  So there is going to be a little bit of shift on how unit allocations would be set up and we’ll have to take a look at that since all the military are going to come under NAVPGSCOL. 

    d.  Ms. Phillips, OSSC Representative.  We have gotten a lot of very positive feedback on the Millenium Party and also the lighting of Herrmann Hall.  I suggest that next year we have some kind of event for turning on the lights to let the community know, because there were not very many people there.  It was wonderful.

        Ms. Leone-Mullins commented:  The lighting of Herrmann Hall was accomplished in a very short time frame. 

        Ms. Ryan added:  I like the idea of having some kind of event, where the kids and Santa Clause and everyone comes out and we do something like caroling to light the front of Herrmann Hall to start the Christmas season.  That’s a very nice idea.

    e.  CWO4 Walsh, FNMOC Monterey. 

        (1)  A lot of people at FNMOC enjoy playing golf for fun.  The last time we had the Captain’s Cup, it was such that I enticed a lot of players out there that had never played or swung a golf club because we had a format that allowed them to do that.  So they really had a great time.  I understand from Mr. Gale that the Captain’s Cup has been merged in with the Intramurals, which is fine, but there are a couple slight problems with time because of the students’ schedules.  Mike had suggested a Friday afternoon, because a lot of the students don’t have classes on Friday.

             Mr. Valleau:  Today I’ll get together with Beth to outline the program for Fridays.  I want to start a scramble on Fridays from 12 to 3 p.m.  And you can come with a team or put your name in individually.  I want to keep it military only.  Scramble is probably the most fun way to play golf because everybody has to participate.  I would like to start this on the 1st of April.  It will be up to you to show up and make the program work.  I’ve done it before at another location and it’s a great program.

             Ms. Ryan asked:  Does that time-frame, 12 to 3 p.m. on Fridays, sound like it would work with your command mission?

             CWO4 Walsh responded:  We probably wouldn’t be able to support that.  I would love to play in the scrambles, but if I had not played golf before, it’s a little bit scary.  Whereas if I said to you “you’ve never played golf before, come out with me and you can be on my team, we’ll have a team of four players and only two of us have to play each week”.  Then you have a pool of people that can play week by week.  They can feel a sense of ownership because they had a team and they have a league and they can play for six months or so.  Then you also get to socialize when you play golf.  That’s for non-golfing people.

             Ms. Leone-Mullins responded:  We can always organize a tournament during the week at 1 p.m.  There was a Captain’s Cup run by the active duty.  They did organize it themselves.

             CWO4 Walsh responded:  We can submit a proposal to you.  The guys are waiting and are really interested.

    f.  LCDR Tom Rowley, USN (Ret), TROA: 

        (1)  My suggestion regarding the brunch issue is an early bird discount brunch coupon with the 10 to 11 a.m. group (e.g., $9.95 coupon).  And let the chaplains be given 10 each Sunday and be good that Sunday for brunch for a family. 

        (2)  The New Year’s Eve party was wonderful and I know that it required a tremendous amount of coordination.  The guest that I had couldn’t believe how fantastic it was.  The lighting in front of the school was really out of this world.  It was fabulous in every way.

        (3)  The Northern Region of the Navy League, on January 14th and 15th, will be holding a series of meetings here at the school.  The Navy League is one of the largest significant groups lobbying to maintain a viable Navy.  There will be a dinner dance and a speech by the national president of the Navy League on Friday night in the ballroom.  You can call Jackie Wilson, President of the Northern Region, 648-7271.  This is a chance to hear the leader of the biggest lobbying group in the United States for the Navy.  The Navy League is one of the organizations that is lobbying Congress and the Administration to try and maintain the Navy. 

    g.  Mr. Gale, Athletic Director: 

        (1)  Rosters are due for Intramural volleyball and basketball.  Programs will be starting up next week.

        (2)  On January 13th, we are going to have an organizational meeting for a racquetball tournament.  We’ll talk about format and get input from those who want to participate (i.e., singles, doubles, how, when, etc.) because there are a lot of preferences out there.

        (3)  We started our bike rental program back on the 1st of October.  I’m happy to say that since the 1st of October we have had 12 rentals.  Please get the word out.  They are available during the weekdays and weekends.  It comes with a bike lock and helmet.  Call the gym at 656-3118.

        (4)  Call the gym to make an appointment for a personal training session with Heather Golden.  We also offer body composition analysis for $20.  Heather will make an appointment with you to sit down to discuss your results and potential plans for your exercise and fitness plan.

        (5)  In addition, we have our Jazzamatazz session dates scheduled in the Peacock Press for January through March and Jazz Dance program for children ages 7 - 11, which meets once a week.  We have a class minimum of eight.  If you have kids in your command, this is a great program. 

        (6)  Every year it is a struggle for us to get certified lifeguards and certified water safety instructors for our pool program.  This year we are seeking to fill a head lifeguard position.  Our previous head lifeguard, Mike Massey, is gone.  If you know anyone who is interested that is high school age, 16 or older, have them contact the pool.  We can refer them if they are not already certified and give them information for local Red Cross, YMCA, lifeguard and water safety instructor certification classes that are going to be held this Spring.  If you are certified, that’s 90 percent of the battle right there, because I can’t hire anyone who is not certified.  Please help us get the word out.

    h.  Mr. Mike Valleau, Golf Course/RV Campground Manager. 

        (1)  We’ve got irrigation and the trees are now in place on Hole #3.  We’re taking out the weeds and ordering new grass seed to finish that project. 

        (2)  We’re going to be putting up hedges on the tee-boxes on #4 and #6.  It will offer you some privacy from #1 when on #4, so it will reduce the noise level plus aesthetically it will improve the look.

        (3)  We’re bringing in the architect now to start the work on #10.  He’ll be coming in to consult with us.

        (4)  We sustained some damage this past week on one of our greens.  So during the course of your round of golf, if you see anybody out there doing anything that’s not right, please report it to me and let me know.  We have a full-time Marshall Starter now, that’s going to help, but it’s your golf course and I need your help.

        (5)  The split rail in front of the clubhouse will be extended down to the entrance way, so that will give a real nice look when you drive in.

        (6)  We are planning to clean out the area around Mike’s Mountain soon.  Also, in the Spring, we’ll be putting in a lemon orchard in that area.

    i.  Ms. Ryan, MWR Director.  The command has asked MWR to coordinate the Navy Ball for next year.  That is normally headed up by the active duty.  They have asked us to take that event on.  We will be working closely with the command and the protocol office.  This will be the first Navy Ball that we’ll actually be planning for you.  We look forward to that.

6.  With no other items from the members, Ms. Ryan thanked everyone for taking the time to attend and adjourned the meeting at 1120.  The next meeting is scheduled for Wednesday, 1 March 2000, 1000, in the La Novia Room, Herrmann Hall, NAVPGSCOL.  NAVPGSCOL, NAVSUPPACT MB and tenant commands are invited to send a representative.
