ITEM 4: CONSIDERATION AND APPROPRIATE ACTION RELATING TO THE
RELOCATION OF CART PATHS ON HOLES #1, 2,& 3 AND BETWEEN
#8 GREEN AND #9 TEE,
Mr Ruark discussed a problem relating to the location of cart paths. Some paths have been
located on Bailey Trust land and now that the land is being developed, it may be necessary to
move some paths. Developers have been working with staff and, in some instances, have made
an adjustment in their proposed plat so that the path won't need to be relocated. The problems
in other areas will be handled as the land is developed. No action was taken.
