Council Minutes of 10/19/1999 President Saringer reconvened the Council meeting at 10:28 p.m. Mrs. Saringer said she wished to discuss the situation that was occurring at Springvale Golf Course. Mayor Musial said he believed Mrs. Kasler planned to address that issue in a Recreation Committee meeting. Mrs. Kasler agreed that she planned to request a committee meeting next week to discuss the situation and planned to invite the golfers to attend. The issue is basically a change in policy with regard to permanent tee times and league play and the finances of this. This issue involves people who have played at the course for many years, possibly 20 or 30 years. Mrs. Saringer said it was her understanding that it is not the people that have permanent tee times that are the abusers. One group told her that they have players missing only 5% of the time. She was upset to be told by golfers that they felt they had not been treated properly by the golf course management. Mayor Musial said he could not respond to that because he was not there for the discussion. However, he, Safety Director Jenkins and course manager Marty Young checked "no shows" for 1998 and there was approximately $40,000 lost. He feels the proper forum to discuss this matter is the Recreation Committee. Mrs. Saringer agreed but said that she had promised the golfers that she would bring this issue up tonight. Mr. McKay said he had the opportunity to meet with a group of senior citizens and the course manager and there was no problem-he was very polite. Mr. O'Grady scheduled a Finance Committee meeting for Monday, October 25, at 6 p.m. to discuss Ordinances 99-143 and 99-145. The Finance Director and Service Director are asked to attend. Mr. Nashar scheduled a Safety Committee meeting, immediately following the Finance Committee, for an open discussion of the proposed helmet law that was addressed at the last Council meeting. The Safety Director is asked to attend. Mrs. Kasler scheduled a Recreation Committee meeting to discuss the Springvale issue on Monday, October 25, at 7 p.m. The Mayor, Mr. Jenkins and Mr. Young are asked to attend. Mr. Miller asked that Mr. Nashar add to his committee agenda a discussion of the impact of the increase of the Lorain Road speed limit. Mr. Nashar agreed. With the agenda being completed and there being no further business to come before Council, President Saringer adjourned the meeting at 10:36 p.m. ,-' i {{91 ~:.~ , Barbara L.
