Mr. Fred Kalil on behalf of some of his associates, was present
to voice a protest against the new setup at the Country Club whereby Villagers
are required to pay an annual fee of $10. 00 to use any of the facilities at the
Club. He stated that it would not be objectionable if the fee were only 500
or $1. 00 to cover the cost of the issuance of the cards but he continued this
is just the beginning and in the future this fee could be changed and increased.
The Mayor explained the reasons for closing the Club to the general public,
that this fee was to help offset the loss of daily green fees and that the active
members of the Club had proposed it and were confident that it would make
the Club facilities more desirable.
The meeting adjourned at 5:14 P. M.
