City Council Review
A meeting was held with the Council at their Work Session on
June 10, 1980, in which the following items were discussed:
1. Frank Hummel's study on the Pineridge site was reviewed
and discussed. The Council was.in favor of continuing
work on the course, and asked thatproposalsfor financing
it be developed as soon as possible. A meeting has been
set up with Ron Wood, City Finance Director, on June 2,
1980 at 2:00 P.M. to discuss plans for investigating
financing methods, Members of the Board are invited.
2.- The question of additional fees for out-of-town residents
was discussed with Council. Council agreed that such in-
creased fees would be appropriate, and that people who
lived in the Ft. Collins metropolitan area -:should be con-
sidered "local" residents. They asked for specific
recommendations.
The Board recommends that an additional fee of 50C per
9 holes be charged to non -local residents. Local residents
are those with a Ft. Collins address on a driver's license
or some other proof of a local residency, such as a CSU
student card. ,It is recommended that this increased fee
schedule be adopted effective_ July 2, 1980 for greens fees -
players. The question of additional charges for czut-of- -
town memberships for 1981 will be addressed at a future
Board meeting, ..
Parks and Recreation Department staff will present these
recommendations to the City Council.
3. Frank Hummel, in his Pineridge study, suggested that annual
memberships be discontinued. The City Council has asked
for a recommendation on this. As almost all memberships for
19BO have been sold, this question must be resolved before
1981. The Board agreed to discuss it at a future meeting,
with a deadline of October, 1980, for a recommendation.
1981 Budget
The proposed 1981 budget was reviewed. Because of the poor weather
and associated loss of income last winter, a supplemental request
for $26,000 has been submitted for revenue sharing funds to assist
in getting the new golf cart program started.

A letter was received from Mr, Paul Meuwissen complaining about
the slow play on weekends._ It was agreed to install signs
reminding players of the need to play, at a reasonable speed.
The fence at the City Park Nine driving range was discussed.
Dave Sadler has estimated the cost of $20,000-30,000, and does
not recommend a fence. The Board agreed with this recommendation.
Additional trees will be planted instead.
The Mulberry Street widening project has been delayed. However,
the modification work on the 6th tee has been done, and the tee
will be moved when the street is modified.

fairway.
