County spends $13,000 on golf course clubhouse remodel

The Ohio County Community Golf Course

At its meeting Tuesday, June 9, the Ohio County Fiscal Court accepted a bid for more remodeling work at the Ohio County Community Golf Course. The fiscal court already spent over $30,000 in the past few months to repair the roofs of the course clubhouse, three cart sheds and install two HVAC units. The money to pay for the repairs came from a line item on the Fiscal Year 2014-2015 Coal Severance Priority list. The amount was listed as a $50,000 line item on the Coal Severance Priority List for County Buildings – Renovations, Repairs or New Building. Ohio County Judge-Executive David Johnston earmarked the money to be spent at the golf course. Last Tuesday evening, Second District Magistrate Jason Bullock said the county advertised for bids to remodel the inside of the golf course clubhouse. The county will use the remaining $16,000 of the $50,000 line item to pay for the project. The clubhouse remodeling will consist of replacing doors, drywall, ceiling, lighting, etc. The lowest bid for the remodel came in at $13,626 by Western Kentucky Roofing and Siding. Western Kentucky Roofing and Siding also repaired the roofs at the golf course. Bullock made a motion the fiscal court accept the bid from Western Kentucky Roofing and Siding. Fourth District Magistrate Larry Keown seconded the motion for discussion. Third District Magistrate Joe Barnes asked what the golf course would do with the clubhouse after the remodel was finished. After the remodel, the clubhouse will be available to rent for wedding reception, banquets and other gatherings. Keown had an issue with the county duplicating services, as in, a newly remodeled golf course clubhouse may take away from the Ohio County Cornerstone Hall Senior Building. Johnston felt there wouldn’t be any effect on the rentals of the Cornerstone Hall. Bullock weighed in with his reasons for remodeling the clubhouse. The county has just repaired the roof and installed new HVAC units. It needed to remodel the clubhouse to save on energy costs. At one point, Bullock said his suggestion a year ago was to replace the clubhouse in the future, but the county decided to repair and remodel the current one. Keown asked Johnston if he had an idea on when the county would regain some of the $50,000 put into the clubhouse remodel. “We’re capital investing in our infrastructure for the county. I don’t know that we would look to recoup that,” Johnston said. “But, (the clubhouse) will sure bring in a lot more than it takes to operate it." Johnston went on to say he thought the clubhouse would bring in thousands of dollars over what the county would spend to operate it. Bullock estimated $3,100 remained of the $50,000 line item and it would be used to tile the golf course. "I didn’t realize (the $50,000 line item) had all gone to the golf course, it said Ohio County Buildings,” Barnes said. Johnston explained that while the line item did read County Buildings - Renovations, Repairs or New Building, he, as the judge executive, had the right to name the “scope” of the project or say where the money would be spent. Unless specifically written out on the list, Johnston has that right for all line items on the Coal Severance Priority List. “The scope was all golf course buildings,” Johnston said. “When (a line item) is written vaguely like that, it falls in my jurisdiction to name the scope of work. Most of you actually did know that’s what we were doing.” Johnston called for a roll call vote, the motion passed by a 4-2 vote. The two no votes were from Barnes and Fifth District Magistrate Larry Morphew. After the vote, Bullock said, “Once this is done, I’ll be glad it’s out of the way because this is the one thing I probably get questioned on more than anything in the whole county, but once it’s done, it’s done.” To listen to the audio portion of this meeting, click here.
