action was tabled until after the action of the Golf Association was reported .
The recommendation states that Fort Collins golf courses shall he administered
by a board appointed by the City Council. The board will have a membership of
five persons to be recommended jointly by the Parks and Recreation Advisory Board
and the Fort Collins Municipal Golf Association.
Dr. Al Pettine moved that the Parks and Recreation Advisory Board accept this
proposed recommendation. Mrs. Don Donohoe seconded the motion, and it carried.

continue to work with the Golf Association on this matter.
