Annual Passes e Boar re -affirmed its decision to eliminate single course and combination Annual Passes, and to have only one pass good at both courses starting in 1983. Jerry P. Brown suggested that the proposed 25% discount for Juniors was a greater hardship on them, since they play less rounds than other groups of people; and Tom Skillman reminded the Board that Junior golfers represent the future. On a motion by Jim Mitchell, seconded by Dick Zubradt, the Board voted 6:0 to adjust Junior rates to 'i of adult rates. The Board then, on a motion by Eileen Banks, seconded by Jim Mitchell, voted 6:0 to approve the Annual Pass rates submitted by staff, with one pass good at both courses (incorporating the change for Juniors to 50% discount), as follows: Single Adult $250.00 Junior $125,00 Student $190.00 Senior Citizen $190.00 Family Rates 1st Adult/Husband $250,00 2nd Adult/Wife $190.00 1st Child $125.00 2nd Child or more $ 65.00 Maximum family Charget $630.00 0 Surcharge e Board re -affirmed its position, approved at the last two meetings, making the surcharge less restrictive.
