e e ...-:::: It Golf Course Advisory Board Meeting Minutes of April 7, 1988 Page 2 IT Hl NO.4: FOLLOW-UP ON ADVERTISEMENT: Alex told the Board the advertisement for the tee markers, etc. was ~oming along fine. The problem with the over selling and selling to companies out of La Porte had been rectified. He said that the City should be receiving the black and white copies of the signs in the near future. ITF:N NO. t): RATE AND FEE STRUCTURE: This item was brought back to the Board to get final approval so it can be presented to the City Council. This item had been tabled before so a committee could Hork up and present the B.oard a proposal for Charter Membership. At this point Jim Longnecker made a motion and it was seconded by Lloyd Roper to set a fee for La Porte residents on a one day a \"reelc (I'ionday or Tuesday) basis before noon at a special rate of $5.00. This would be for La Porte residents only. After discussion of the Board a vote was taken and the motion failed. Nays: David Brady~. Reed Tolles, Dennis Dunham, Richard Hayes and Ruede Wheeler. Proposed Charter Membership - 200 Charter memberships maximum at a fee of $600.00. The golf packet would include: unlimited golf, name listed on permanent plaque, photograph with the pro, bag storage, bag tag, "Charter Member" golf hat, 20% discount each year that membership is renewed (in the event that the package is increased), membership will be billed as advertisement, non-transferrable, scoreboard with inserts of advertisers name will be changed weekly and Charter Membership must specify an individual as the member. These memberships will be an annual renewal. When the program begins La Porte residents will be given first choice and a time limit of 30/60 days will be set. Ruede Wheeler felt that a good time to begin the membership drive would be after the course is open and the residents have had a chance to play on it a few times, this would give them the opportunity to decide if they wanted to purchase a Charter ,Membership or not. A motion was made by Jim Longnecker and seconded by Richard Hayes that the recommended rate structure and the proposed "Charter Membership" be presented to City Council for their approval. Hotion passed. This will be done at the April 25th Council meeting. Jim Longnecker asked to have the record reflect that he is personally in opposition to the Charter Membership. He further stated he was going to make a report to the City Council as a citizen concerning the La Porte residents rate and the Charter Membership.
