City of McCall: May 27, 2000
I am writing this follow-up letter to inform you I am having
A spinal fusion back operation on May 311 in Boise. I will not be playing
Golf this year.
In October I wrote a letter to you requesting a refund of the
Unused fees for my annual golf pass. I also requested a refund of my
Wife Janet's' annual golf fee, along with the Cart trail fee. My wife
Injured her Achilles tendon. She didn't use her golf pass at all.
I did receive my refund in November, but didn't receive hers' or the
Trail fee. I don't understand why you could refund one, but not the
Other? If it is now the City's policy not to refund unused fees, then
I feel it is only right to credit me one annual golf pass and a cart trail
Fee for the 2001 season, when I will again hopefully be playing again.
This is my third and last letter. I would like a response in writing
If possible. If I get no response, I will pursue other avenues to get results.
Your immediate response would be greatly appreciated.
Sincerely,
Gary Glenn Simmons
