Cart paths at Flagg Creek Golf Course will be improved for the 2025 season, but work won’t be finished until spring.
At a recent meeting, the Countryside City Council approved paying McGill Construction LLC, of Frankfort, $23,584.90 for the cart path patching and parking lot sealcoating.
The work was supposed to have been finished by now, but extremely cold weather in January delayed the project.
City Engineer Angel Hernandez, of Novotny Engineering, said at the city council’s Jan. 22 meeting that “due to winter, they have not started working on it.”
As a result, the cart path and parking lot improvements will not be finished until the weather improves. Some work was done in November, he said.
“They did get off to a rough start, but they did perform the excavation (of the path),” Hernandez said.
New asphalt should only take a day or two, he said.
After the meeting, Ald. John Finn (1st) said, “They started late, started excavating, laying the new stone down.”
“Some of the cart path is being completely replaced. Some of it is being patched. Once they’re done with that, they’ll sealcoat the whole thing so it looks uniform and brand-new,” Finn said.
Finn expects the work won’t take too long: “Once they get in gear, hopefully, they’ll do it quickly.”
Mayor Sean McDermott, who enjoys golfing at Flagg Creek, said, “It’s going to be nice when it’s done.”
In a related matter, McDermott appointed Finn, Ald. Tom Frohlich and resident Kevin Dahill to the Flagg Creek Golf Course Advisory Board.
“We alternate (members) every other year,” McDermott said of appointments unanimously approved by the council.
In other business, former city engineer John Fitzgerald, who retired in December, was hired as a part-time engineer.
The council also approved a request from Police Chief Paul Klimek to hire a new police officer to replace one who resigned effective Feb. 1.
