been using the course. Motion was seconded by Mr. Saxon so that the question
might be discussed. Mr. Saxon stated that he didn't think that the Council
should get involved in this regulation. Mr. Claussen stated that this action
should not be taken hurriedly. Mr. Jones wanted to know how the loss of
revenue would be made up. The motion was withdrawn. Mr. Clement then
moved that the Council restrict the play at our Country Club to members unless

a guest plays with a member and that this does not take effect until the starting

approval of the Village Manager. This motion died for lack of a second.
Mr. Anderson pointed out that the membership rules were set up in
Resolution No. 363 which must be rescinded or amended if changes are made.
Mr. Claussen then moved that inasmuch as it seems to be the expression
of this Council that they have a real concern to meet the needs and problems of
the Miami Shores Country Club, that we table any action today and put this on
a priority list to be studied and researched in order to come up with the overall
answer to the golf course playing. Motion was seconded by Mr. Miller and passed
4/1 with Mayor Clement dissenting.
