I'wo Part Report cn Golf Course City Manager Brunton stated he would like to read the report and them go through the specific points. (Complete report in Central hales).

Metier at Collindale Golf Course for a one year period commencing January 1, 1973, and terminating December 31, 1973. 2. Approve pro cont..ract. with Randall E. Byers at City Park Nine Golf Course for a one-year period comnancing January 1, 1973, and terminating December 31, 1973. 3. Consider separate concessionaire contract at Collindale Golf Course. 4. Approve new golf course fees for 1973 (only changes are new 9 hole fee and $50 powerod cart rate for Collindale). Mayor Carson inquired into the Golf Pro Agreement for Collindale Municipal Golf Course, with William 1-1. Metier, relative to paragraphs (f) and (k), both having to do with payment for utilities, adding they could be more clearly stated. N9ayor Carson also spoke to the contract on City Park Nine, Page 2, relative to a beer or liquor license, saying he would like the sentence stricken from the contract. 9M February_15.,_1973 Councilman Peterson made a motion, seconded by Councilman Preble, to approve the four recommendations made by the Golf Board to delete the one sentence in the Cicy Park N is Contract, relative to beer and l:;r.:or licenses, and by inserting a $1.00 per round fee to be paid to the Lolf Pro at Collindale Golf Course for the use of the golf carts. Yeas: Councilmen Carson, Lopez, Preble, Peterson and Fead. Nays: None. The next part of the report from the City Manager was as follows: Recommendations from administrative staff: 1. Approve a definite schedule for repaying the principal and interest owed. by Collindale Golf Course to the Water Fund. 2. The status of the ownership of the City Park Nine should be clarified. In 1940 it was stated that this golf course was owned by the cemetery. wince that time the General Fund has subsidized the cemetery operation by over $100,000 and purchased the Roselawn Cemetery for $35,000. The present cemeteries have ten to twenty years of grave spaces available. It would be more economical to obtain a new cemetery than to develop a new golf course. Therefore, because of the subsidies from the General Fund to the Cemetery Fund in excess of the original land cost, it should be stated that the City Park Nine is pennanently a golf course with no liens for cemetery purposes. City Attorney March stated he agreed with the analysis of the City Manager, however, he felt that at the time the City had purchased Roselawn Cemetery (1940), provisions had been made relative to the ownership -f City Park Nine. City Manager Brunton also stated he would again be bringing the matter of the cemetery up in a few weeks.:: Councilman Lopez stated lie would like to have included :in any review made tl;;; convenience of having a cemetery so handy; the pros and cons of having several small cemeteries scattered throughout the City; and where to purchase more land for another cemetery. Councilman Lopez made a motion, seconded by Councilman Fead, to instruct the City Attorney to prepare a resolution approving a definite schedule for repaying the principal and interest owed by Collindale Golf Course to the Water fund. Yeas: Councilmen Carson, Lopez, Preble, Peterson and Fead. Nays: None.

Councilman Lopez inquired if a narrative had been provided to accompany the fact sheet submitted by the Bureau and was advised that it had not been provided. �i Mayor Carson then proposed that the administration and Council request a meeting with the fire ratin_; iczple, and suggested a specific date be made to do it, City Manager Brunton stated he would arrange it.
