Board member Nance, alternate Bohmont, and City Park Nine Golf Pro Jim Greer are absent due to vacation. The minutes of the meeting of December 10, 1980 were unanimously approved as presented. COLLINDALE CONCESSION BIDS Jerry P. Brown reported on the Concession bid at Collindale. Discussion followed concerning the bids. Ten (10) people participated in the pre -bid meeting at the Collindale Clubhouse, where Jerry reviewed the Invitation to the Bidders. Two bids were received - one from Derek Cordova, who bid 17% with basically the same program as run by Jack and Floriene Whitt. The other bid was from a partnership of Dan E. Spahr, Richard M. Eisenberg and Francis J. Gallagher. This group bid 16% of the gross and recommended a twelve (12) month operation with the services being similar to those in their in -town operation at Kombos and Yellow Submarine. After discussion, Carl Kansala moved, seconded by Karen Mosser, to accept Derek Cordova as the concession operator. Motion passed unanimously. MEMBERSHIP FEES Membership fees were discussed. According to the final 1980 budget figures, we spent 95% of the projected expenses and took in 97% of the projected revenue. The year end balance is approximately $4,000 to the good in the Golf Fund. Discussion was held on a potential out -of -city increase in membership rates. Staff informed the Board that the City of Greeley doubled out -of -city rates for memberships in 1981, and the City of Loveland eliminated memberships for those users living outside the Thompson Valley R2-J School District. Staff also discussed the depleted nature of the Golf Fund balance, basically due to the poor weather of last winter. After further discussion a motion was made by Tom Skillman, seconded by Karen Mosser, to raise all membership catagories except Juniors and Seniors, $20.00 each, beginning as soon as City Council approves it; and the Juniors and Seniors go up $10.00 each. The motion passed unanimously. - Another motion was made by Jim Mitchell, seconded by Tom Skillman, that future memberships for the City golf courses be limited to Fort Collins area residents, and that members presently holding a current card (that is a 1980 or 1981) are eligible to purchase a membership as long as they continue to maintain them. This motion passed 5 to 1 (Bill Zech casting a "No" vote). These two proposals must go to the City Council for approval. COLLINDALE 6th FAIRWAY TREES Discussion was held on the tree planting along the #6 fairway at Collindale. Bill Metier and Tim Buchanan reviewed the location as previously selected by Tim and Neil, and was in agreement with all locations with exception of two or three trees near the large irrigation ditch. This tree planting program will take place this summer. Medema Homes has deposited the $4,500 with the City, as per the Agreement previously approved by the Board. OTHER BUSINESS - A membership attendance report for 1980 was received and filed. - Carol Ward and Ed Pease, Golf Coaches at CSU, requested reduction of certain fees. However, H.R.
