RE: No Donations to Group Fund Raisers
Throughout the course of the year we all get many phone calls and personal inquiries
from citizens, golfers, groups, and other folks, asking us to donate golf and golf
related prizes to their charities.
A lot of people will contact you or members of your staff at the Golf Course, and most
of the time you refer the people to call me. Instead, I would like for you and for the
members of your staff to tell the people "no" at the time they contact you rather than
have them make a second call to me. They can quote the adopted City Policy for Fund
Raisers, as follows:
"No discounts or donations of any kind are provided to any groups or charities
for Tournaments or for fund raisers, etc., as our Policy considers such fee
reductions, waivers, or donations to be a gift of public funds, which is not
authorized."
---------------------------
I think that this adopted Policy is very clear and
staff conveyed this information at the time of the
person does not accept your word, then you can have
the situation.
it would save time if you and/or your
initial contact. Obviously, if the
them contact me and I will deal with
Remember, the above Policy applies to City fees and revenues, such as Green Fees, Golf
Cart Rental, Annual Passes, etc. If you as the individual Golf Professional decide that
you want to make a private donation to a charity, then you may do so as you desire. It
is up to you. However, if you want to donate City fees, then you will need to pay for
them fully yourself in order to make such a donation.
Please do not hesitate to contact me if you have any questions or concerns. Thank you.
