A private cart fee was discussed and the Board on motion by Don Smith
voted we send back to Council that we do not want private carts allowed
because of the liability factor/confusion in handling; that carts are an
important source of income to program and that the administration in-
volved would be too complicated. That the 10-12 people involved would
present more headaches than not allowing them at all. It was pointed
out that carts are nationally recognized major source of income. Also
pointed out that after subdivision developed it would be hard to prevent
private carts if once door is open now.
Motion seconded by Rae Jackson and unanimously carried. Barney further
reported that Council approved the club house drawing and buildings for
cart barn and maintenance barn. Quail Creek is the name approved for
golf course. Barney mentioned that we will accept donations on trees,
markers furniture, flowers, etc.
The Board approved a $300.00 bonus for Phil Rutherford for extra work
involved over summer months.
