MANAGEMENT ISSUES
Mr Ray advised the trustees that some problems have developed with citizens because of the
barbed wire fencing along the east side of the golf course on the south end. Staff is
recommending that the barbed wire be removed from that area and that Third Street be blocked
where it stubs at the golf course. There is sorne feeling that children playing in that area might
be harmed because of the fencing. Mr Ray also briefly discussed additional financing and
suggested that a decision be made within the next thirty days. Mr Shirley discussed green fees
and other fees for amenities. There was also discussion concerning a maintenance facility and
