PURPOSE OF THE MEETING
The purpose of the meeting was to discuss the golf course business plan prepared by the Audit
Committee.
• AUDIT COMMITTEE PRESENTATION
Audit Committee Chairman Tom Magill presented the Committee's business plan for the golf
course. Mr. Magill provided comparisons of rounds played (member, resident/guest, daily play)
as well as expenses and revenues. Mr. Magill discussed projected shortfalls in revenue, and the
cost of projected capital improvements and capital equipment.
Mr. Magill addressed the need for more marketing of the golf course.
Mr. Magill advised that the Audit Committee has suggested a 12% increase for 2008, which
could be an increase in fees or in the number of members.
Discussion took place on the number of rounds per day, whether there should be a limitation on
the number of guests allowed to play with a member, and how to decrease the projected shortfall
in revenue. Discussion was held on priorities for capital improvements, such as additional cart
paths to decrease wear on the course.
ADJOURNMENT
With no further business to come before the Council, the meeting adjourned at 5:30 p.m
