i61.' COURSE FEES Mr. Baughman stated that
recommendatioR
a

ts.
tourn.... City Manager added that some
J..
of the information and prizes has already..
been established for a tournament to be
held shortly and all the information sent

Mr. Van Buskirk stated that the City is not
in the business of running tournaments, and
that the average citizen should be able to
play on the Golf Course, or tennis courts,
or whatever, when they want to. Mr.
B.. ghman suggested that perhaps the problem
is with scheduling of the tournaments.
I
Mr. Palmer ~ ointed out that the cost of
the fertilizer and ~ verything else has gone
up, so the new fees are really not out of
line. Mr. Baughman moved that the tourna-
ment fees for the Golf Course be dropped
back to the regular rate, until the beginning
of the new fiscal year ( July) at which time
the new rates will go into effect. Motion
was seconded by Mr. Brock and carried
unanimously.
THANK YOU EXPRESSION Mr. Buskirk took this opportunity to
Van
publicly thank all the concerned citizens
and City Hall staff that sent cards and
flowers and dropped by to visit during his
convalescence.
