show a profit, subsidize the golf fund from the general fund or sell the golf course.

to gather meaningful information, such as tournaments and their impact on local
businesses and growth of businesses from the golf operation.
A discussion of rates resulted in a recommendation to not go into May without the rates
set. Todd McKenna mentioned that determining the difference between resident vs.
non-resident should be done with a driver's license. The committee would like to see
the rates set no later than the November meeting, with a goal of being on the city
council agenda and a recommendation by November 10t'.

rounds at a cost of $12.1/round. Carl reported that revenues were up over the same
period last year.
