As discussed at the last meeting, the capital programs adopted prior to "Andrew" have gone forward: I. Bathrooms on the course are presently being modernized, with the first already completed. II . Many improvements to cart paths have been completed, sodding yet to be done. III . 75 new golf carts are being delivered on October 30, 1992 . IV.

MANAGED BY PROFESSIONAL COURSE MANAGEMENT 10000 BISCAYNE BOULEVARD • MIAMI SHORES, FLORIDA 33138 • (305)795-2360 • FAX(305)795-2384 B. PCM has spent so far $55 , 000 . on these long- term improvements. C. In response to Mr. Thornton' s question about how can water leaking into the men' s locker room be stopped; we will install a high power, sump pump to pump storm water to a canal. D. The condition of the golf course is excellent. II. Discussion of current membership drive: Despite lowered prices, there is a reduced number of membership renewals and new members . As of the present, there are approximately 250 members, down approximately 25, as to golf and about 40 as to tennis . In this latter regard, Mr. Schwartz will personally contact the non-renewing old tennis members . The foregoing decline is occurring notwithstanding the absence of negative comments about the Club by the non- renewing former members. The causes may be: (I ) reduced interest rates and their effect on fixed incomes; (II ) persons moving north to Broward; and ( III ) the intervention of "Andrew. " III . Financial condition of the Club. Conequently, in light of the above, the Club is in bad shape economically. Mr. LaPonzina was not receptive to Mr. Thornton' s suggestion to consider combining with the Presidential, Miami Shores being a fairly upscale basically private country club with a good golf course, in contrast with the Presidential. PCM has borrowed funds to clean up the clubhouse and the course. FEMA hopefully will reimburse, at least partially. However, there is a pressing need to renegotiate the lease with the Village, which has granted a 3-month deferment of rent payments. Mr. LaPonzina read a letter from Mr. Jack Kain, a Miami Shores resident, entreating the Village to work with PCM. Copy of this letter is attached hereto and constitutes part of these minutes. PCM will formulate a specific proposal and will meet first with the Village Manager to review same in advance of the Village Council meeting of December 15, 1992 this matter being on the agenda for such meeting. The unanimous consensus of the Advisory Board applauded PCM for restoring the course notwithstanding "Andrew" and for continuing with the previously planned capital improvements and expressed hope that the Village and PCM could arrive at an acceptable accomodation to PCM' s problems at the Club. The Board took notice of the fact that PCM is continuing to run a good operation at the Club. Mr. LaPonzina stressed the need to solicit memberships to make up for the $400 , 000--$500, 000 shortfall in memberships. Mr. Schwartz suggested that the Club contact all the realtors active in Miami Shores to explain what an excellent selling tool the existence of the Club is . Mr. LaPonzina felt that this was a fine idea. The Club will follow up, by inviting the Realtors to the Club for a social gathering in order to make a presentation. In view of the fact that the last Wednesday of November is the day before Thanksgiving, the next meeting will be held on Wednesday, December 2, 1992, at 5 : 30PM. Respectfully submitted, RICHARD J.
