An ordinance authorizing the Mayor of the City of North Olmsted to enter into a new professional services agreement with Jerry Ludvik, the golf pro at the Springvale Golf Course, for the period April 1, 2004 through December 31, 2004, and declaring an emergency. Councilman Dailey moved for suspension of the rule requiring three readings and noted the legislation had been through committee and was reported out this evening. The motion was seconded by Councilman Gareau and passed unanimously. Dennis Lambert, 25057 Carey Lane, asked what value having a golf pro brings to the community. Mayor Musial said having a golf pro on the premises attracts golfers-not only bad golfers but good golfers. The good golfers do come to locations that have golf pros to get and take lessons. By so doing, they also participate in playing golf. Mr. Nashar said he is aware that Mr. Ludvik does have an extensive list of golfers signing up for lessons each week. Mr. Limpert noted that the golf pro, in addition to giving lessons, has additional duties such as helping with golf outings. Mr. Miller noted that the small amount paid to the golf pro is probably exceeded by the amount of people taking lessons and just spending money at the course whether it be for golf, in the pro shop or in the restaurant. He too had questioned the need for a golf pro. But, after looking into what services are provided, he is very comfortable that, not only is it justifiable, it's money well spent. Mr. Gareau noted that Mr. Ludvik is paid $3,500. Mr. Lambert said he was convinced that Council had studied this issue well and understood why it was being voted on under emergency. Councilman Dailey moved for adoption. The motion was seconded by Councilman Gareau and passed unanimously. Ordinance No. 2004-38 ,~, adopted. 9
