She reported that the audit went well, with no significant findings or instances of noncompliance, and discussed several areas for continued attention and follow-up. The Board also discussed related financial and administrative matters. Mr. Williams provided an update on the golf course. The golf course currently has 208 members. There are 50 cart stall members and 36 driving range members. He reported that 4 events were hosted in the banquet room during the reporting period. Additionally, the golf course hosted the Piney Shootout Tournament with 58 golfers, generating a profit of $2,216.35. Quitman Softball/Golf Tournament with 44 golfers, generating a profit of $2,393.80. Piney Woods 3-Man Scramble Tournament with 156 golfers, generating a profit of $4,909.60. Five Tuesday Night Scrambles were also held, with a total of 99 golfers participating and generating a profit of $1,833.03. The Junior Golf Camp was a success, with approximately 24 participants ranging from ages 6 to 17. Attendance was strong, and several participants have continued returning to play and use the practice range. Pro shop sales through the end of July are up compared with the previous two years, while range revenue remains relatively consistent. The new golf carts have been placed in service and received positive feedback. Cart rates were increased, and management is introducing a $1,200 annual golf cart membership with unlimited cart access. A new tee-time software system will allow staff to track cart assignments and identify users if carts are returned damaged or improperly maintained. Management has also implemented improved cleaning and maintenance procedures, and a new shed will provide covered storage for 12 of the carts. Management plans to use proceeds from future Thursday night scrambles to build and stock the pro shop, with tournament winners receiving pro shop credit rather than cash. Initial inventory will include items such as golf balls, gloves, umbrellas, shoes, and apparel.

All in favor. Motion carried. Under old business, the board discussion focused on misunderstandings and misinformation surrounding the previous election, particularly regarding the golf course and how its funding and plans were being interpreted by the public. Board members emphasized the importance of communicating more openly and consistently so people understand what is actually being planned and funded. There was also discussion about correcting misconceptions regarding taxpayer funding, the golf course lease, memberships, facility improvements, and youth activities. Members felt that sharing photos, explanations, and updates on Facebook could help people better understand the organization’s activities and financial decisions. Overall, the board agreed that staying active on social media, addressing questions directly, and providing more context could reduce misunderstandings and help the public make more informed decisions in the future. Next board meeting is scheduled for Wednesday, September 9, 2026 at 12:00pm in the Jackson Parish Recreation Building. Motion Mr. Womack seconded Mr. Atkins to adjourn meeting. All in favor.
