D. STANDING REPORTS
1. Financial – Noel Allen – Manager Allen provided several financial updates. He reported
that November revenues exceeded expectations, supported by favorable weather
conditions, and were up 32 percent compared to the prior year. Operating profit
improved by $255,000 over last year, and the net position increased by $377,000 year
over year. The cash position increased by $18,000 in November, the first time in our
cash history going back to 1995.
Manager Allen also reported strong performance in December, with revenues up 25
percent, largely driven by the Holiday Pop-Up Bar at Reserve 22. Due to the high activity
levels experienced, there were some operational challenges that resulted in higher
operating expenses. Despite these increased costs, December results exceeded budget
expectations. While the net position declined by $91,000 due to the final payment for
the new security system, a net profit of $190,000 was recorded, compared to a budgeted
loss. The cash position increased by $259,000 for the year. The goal is to achieve an
annual cash increase in the range of $300,000 to $500,000.
2. Manager’s Report
A. Golf – Mike Campbell – Director Campbell provided an update on golf operations. He
reported that November rounds increased and were up 4 percent overall for the year.
Driving range activity increased by 6 percent for the year, while pro shop sales declined
slightly in November but ended up 7 percent for the year. He noted that Vince has
assumed full responsibility for pro shop operations and has been ordering new
merchandise for next year. Overall golf revenue finished up 3 percent for the year.
Campbell also reported that the Iron Man event, originally scheduled in November, was
rescheduled due to weather and ultimately hosted 38 teams. He also noted that seven to
eight golf staff members assisted with setup for the Holiday Pop-Up Bar at Reserve 22
and the Winter Wonderland event. He added that staff are currently wrapping up outings
and league schedules and that the Glen Ellyn Senior Open and Super Senior Open will
be held in September.
Campbell reported that the new golf carts have arrived and that a total of 95 carts will be
in service. He also noted that he and Vince attended the PGA Show in Orlando, where
they reviewed new equipment, including a ball picker for the driving range. In addition,
the Chef has purchased hot boxes for the beverage carts to allow for hot food service,
including hot dogs.
B. Reserve 22 – Noel Allen – Manager Allen provided several updates on Reserve 22
operations. He reported that Reserve 22 achieved a strong November revenue month,
marking the first time since May that monthly revenue exceeded target projections. This
success was attributed to the new menu, happy hour specials, and Thanksgiving dinner
service, which generated a 39 percent increase in revenue. On the banquet side, Reserve
22 hosted 20 events compared to 16 events during the same period last year.
Allen noted that the Holiday Pop-Up Bar launched earlier than in previous years and
contributed to a very busy December. Reserve 22 was featured by many social media
influencers as a destination for holiday gatherings. The venue hosted multiple special
events, including seven visits from Santa, Lunch with the Grinch, and a family-friendly
Page 3 of 21
Recreation 3

New Year’s celebration with character appearances. While banquet revenue in December
did not meet expectations, overall December revenues exceeded those from the prior
year.
Looking ahead, Manager Allen stated that the Winter Wonderland theme will continue to
drive revenue during the colder months. He noted that the January through March
period remains the most challenging for Reserve 22; however, business continues to
grow, and January may be the strongest January on record. Planned upcoming
initiatives include a Super Bowl promotion and participation in Glen Ellyn’s Restaurant
Week in February. Manager Allen commended David and the Reserve 22 team for their
continued efforts and strong performance.
C. Grounds – Andrew Cross - Superintendent Cross provided several updates on
grounds operations. He noted that November was one of the busiest months for winter
course preparation. Due to weather conditions, staff were unable to apply topdressing
sand on greens as planned. Tees were aerified in November; however, fairway aerification
was deferred and will be completed in the spring.
Cross reviewed several projects completed during this period, including assisting the IT
team with video-related work, supporting setup for the halfway house and Holiday Pop-
Up Bar, and completing winterization tasks. Tree trimming and removals were conducted
to improve playability and address tree health concerns, including the removal of trees
near holes 8 and 9. Affected areas will be reseeded in the spring.
He also noted that staff will be attending an upcoming trade show in Orlando.
Trustee Thompson suggested that staff consider promoting the sustainability and
environmentally friendly initiatives underway at Village Links to better inform the public.
Manager Allen added that staff are currently compiling this information for the
Environmental Commission.
3. Trustee Liaison – Steve Thompson – Trustee Thompson provided several updates. He
announced that a new category will be added to the Community Awards recognizing
businesses that demonstrate environmentally sustainable practices. He encouraged
Village Links to pursue this award, noting the many green initiatives already underway.
Thompson also shared that the Village Board is actively engaged in strategic planning for
the next 5–10 years and will be holding additional meetings with the assistance of a
consultant.
He reported that ice skating is now available at Panfish Park and Lake Ellyn.
Construction on the new Starbucks location on Roosevelt Road is progressing, and the
former hotel on Roosevelt Road has been demolished.
Trustee Thompson noted that Dutch Bros Coffee has submitted plans for the Danby
Station site. The proposal is currently in the planning phase and would involve
demolishing the existing structure. The property has been on the market, and Dutch
Bros has expressed interest. The proposal will go before the Architectural Appearance
Commission.

Finally, he shared that Two Hound Red has been sold and will reopen as Maple Brewery
and Distillery. The new establishment plans to offer a limited menu and will participate
in the upcoming Chili Cook-Off at Reserve 22.
E. OLD BUSINESS – None
F. NEW BUSINESS – None
1. Year in Review – Manager Allen asked the Recreation Commission if there were
any questions regarding the Year in Review. The Commission expressed that the
report was well done and had no questions.
2. Legends of the Links - Manager Allen explained that the hallway of plaques
recognizing individuals who have made significant contributions to Village Links
has reached a point where the Recreation Commission should determine whether
the recognition should continue and, if so, how future honorees should be
selected. He asked the Commission to consider whether additional individuals
should be added and whether a formal nomination process, such as annual
nominations, should be established. The Commission agreed to consider the
future of the Legends of the Links recognition and will revisit the discussion at a
future meeting.
Commissioner Ozog offered a special commendation for the holiday party, noting
how well it was executed, and thanked everyone involved in the planning.
Director Hannah also noted the Fourth of July kickoff planning meeting next
week and invited any interested Commissioners to participate.
G. NEXT MEETING - February 27, 2026
H. ADJOURNMENT
Commissioner Ozog motioned and Commissioner Coldiron seconded to adjourn the
meeting. The meeting was adjourned at 8:08 a.m.

Looking at January observations from O’Hare, average temperature was 21.9°F (3.3°F below normal),
precipitation was 2.53” (0.54” above normal), and snowfall was 11.3” (normal).

VILLAGE LINKS GOLF
The weather as measured by golf playable hours this January was slightly worse than a normal year, and
the same as last year. Obviously, this has little to no impact on the success of this upcoming year. That
said, revenues in all golf categories were up in January. Rounds played were up 30 or 79% over last
January and 41 better than our January target of 27 rounds.
Resident, VIP card, and Permanent Tee Time registrations are up this year and junior and adult
instructional registrations will begin in early February. Marketing and communication efforts were
ahead of schedule with our annual Spring Newsletter, which could be part of what drove the increases
in sign-ups. We are also watching results from the warmer climate states to see if the golf industry is
maintaining the high enthusiasm golf has enjoyed for the past several years. Looking at the most recent
Golf DataTech National Rounds Played report, most southern active regions saw increases in activity in
December.
Golf staff was busier than usual this January, finishing repairing some work spaces in the clubhouse, as
well as assisting in prepping golf cars to be traded in, and receiving our new fleet in the middle of the
month. Staff shuttled cars between the clubhouse and maintenance facilities in the frigid cold so
Tagmarshal could remove all GPS devices and re-install them into our new Yamaha golf cars. Director of
Golf, Mike Campbell, and Head Golf Professional, Vince Crovetti, attended the annual PGA Show, a
gathering of industry leaders and vendors that offers educational and networking opportunities, as well
as merchandise, technology and supply vendors showing off their goods and services.
January is also a very busy month for planning and scheduling golf outings which can be an intensive
process from the first inquiry to signing a contract. This year we have seen a few regular groups
discontinuing their outings, while also adding a few new groups in their place.

RESERVE 22
We ended January at $114,941 vs prior year of $105,266, up 9.2% vs the prior year, an increase of
$9,675 in top line sales. While our foot traffic is less than our very busy past December, we are seeing
traction with the expanded and improved upon décor of the Winter Wonderland theme. At a deeper
look for the start of the year, food and liquor revenues are higher than past year, beer sales are near
flat, and wine sales are down. We also opted to extend hours of operation vs the prior year in hopes to
generate more revenue and give us a better launching pad for the upcoming golf season.
Throughout the month of January, the Winter Wonderland drink program was updated in addition to a
few new tweaks to our food menu. Most notably the Beef Stroganoff and Mediterranean Chicken
additions have been trending nicely with guest preference. We also introduced new promotions for
Wednesday and Thursday that should continue through the end of February complementing our
ongoing happy hour promotions.
We also launched a new partnership with “Humankind” a local Health and Wellness app built by a local
Glen Ellyn resident. As they are promoting the app to local Glen Ellyn residents, we hope to gain traction
with it in the coming months as a preferred food and beverage partner.
Four family events with “Princess Elsa” were hosted on Sunday nights in January which continue to
enhance the Winter Wonderland theme. Attendance remained strong for her appearances and we
identified a better system to ensure she rotates her time visiting tables more consistently and evenly.
We plan to continue her visits throughout February.
Looking at our OpenTable feedback, we maintained our 4.5 score again from our guests with 42 surveys
taken this past month. We actively responded to any unsatisfactory reviews in hopes to recover any
missed opportunities and continue to bring awareness to staff about food quality and service issues.
Looking ahead we are considering upgrading to the OpenTable PRO platform for added marketing tools
for the 2026 year.
Page 15 of 21
In banquets we executed 16 events vs prior year of 22 events, and had one group wish to rebook
sometime in the upcoming months. Diving a bit deeper into our lead numbers, for the last 6 months we
converted roughly 23.2% of all leads that came into our funnel, and for the month of January our
conversion rate was roughly 27.4%. Looking ahead, February and March banquet inquiries are slightly
better than January, however still a bit behind prior year. We are receiving a considerable increase in
the number of inquiries for April and are on track to beat last year April revenues. Our next banquet
sales team meeting will be held in February to continue working on strategies to create leads through
our new partner and referral programs.
Finally, we have finalized our new large party catering options and hope to be live on the website by the
end of the February. This new category will allow us to call upon new outbound clients when inbound
leads are softer than anticipated. We also plan on attending another networking event this upcoming
month to continue to meet new business clients in the community.

KEY METRICS
Year to date comparisons to targeted budget numbers are very good with total revenues exceeding
total target revenues by $41K. This is somewhat misleading due to the last remnants of COVID’s
disruption to our business, but will even out throughout the year. All revenue categories exceeded
target revenue benchmarks even with an increase in total revenue budget of $217,150.

GOLF COURSE GROUNDS AND MAINTENANCE
Winter remains a busy season for the Grounds team. Between essential maintenance required to
prepare the golf course and making productive use of clubhouse downtime to ensure facilities remain in
excellent condition, the workload rarely slows.
Tree work is well underway, with crews removing storm-damaged, diseased, and structurally
compromised trees (including those affected by rot, insects, or previous storm events). Additionally,
several trees located too close to playing surfaces are being removed to improve overall playing
conditions and turf health.
Grounds staff have also begun replacing emergency lights throughout R22. These fixtures have reached
the end of their 10-year battery lifespan, and replacement batteries are no longer available, requiring
full fixture replacement. The new emergency lights are brighter, lower profile, and provide a cleaner,
more modern appearance. All other exit signs were able to have their batteries replaced and are now
set for another 10 years of service.
Another winter focus has been servicing and tuning small equipment. Our Equipment Manager
continues the meticulous process of rebuilding cutting unit reels to ensure equipment is fully prepared
and downtime is minimized during the growing season.
During a late December thaw, staff observed that all bunkers were draining properly with no standing
water. However, early January storms brought strong winds and over two inches of rain, washing out
the majority of bunkers. As a result, the Grounds team will begin the 2026 season with a full bunker
restoration effort to return them to playable condition.
Contracts are also being reviewed and finalized for outsourced work, including Forestry Mulching and
Pond Treatments.
