• GOLF COURSE ADVISORY EOARD MEETING MINUTES OF APRIL 28, 1988 PAGE 3 are not special perks, or prestige involved, it's just a good way to raise capital. David said that the Board will certainly attend the workshop with the same vigor and professionlism as always. David stated that he still strongly supports an up-front membership, this is done to help with expenses at the beginning of any new golf course. Jim Longnecker said that he would not be at the workshop on May 9th, he has already stated his opinion to Council at the City Council meeting. He stated he wouldn't be saying anymore about the fees as he has had his say and so whatever they come up with suits him fine, but he still felt the citizens of La Porte should get a break on the green fees. Richard Hays stated at this time that if the words "Charter Membership" is offensive to some people, then "Annual Membership" could be used. • Dennis Dunham asked if the workshop was going to be on anything besides the golf course fees, he was under the impression that it was for other items also. Alton Porter told him that the workshop is for the fees only and trying to settle that issue. Reed Tolles said that if fees were going to be set they need to be fees that will pay for the course. He said you can't just go in and say let's set fees, there are things to be considered. Mr. Herrera informed the Board that Council does have the entire packet that was also presented to them. This packet includes the Debt Retirement, Projections, etc. At this point Dennis Dunham said the figures show that we are in the hole, $12,000.00 in one place, now, the principal and interest money is still going to have to come from some place. Mr. Dunham said there are no fees listed for all the other things we are going to have to pay for. Mr. Dunham said he wanted to know what's left to do and how much money it's going to cost. He said he has asked for this many times and it still has not been brought to the Board. He said he felt that the Board should know just where we stand and what's left to do and how much more is it going to cost to complete the • golf course? Bob Herrera explained where we were compared to the budget that was adopted and that this is information which has been shared in the past with the Council's full knowledge.
