ACCEPTANCE & CORRECTION OF MINUTES
The minutes of September 26, 1984 were approved as printed by all Board members
present.
QUARTERLY FINANCIAL REPORT
Mark handed out a copy of the Financial Report as of September 30, 1984 and explained
it to the Board members. Each golf course was down in rounds except Glendale. This
decrease probably occured due to the closure of the courses during September 21-24
because of bad weather. Each course increased in revenue even though the rounds were
down. Overall , revenue is up $110,000 over last year' s due to the fee increase.
FOREST DALE GOLF COURSE ARCHITECTURAL PLANS
Scott explained that Bill Neff had been selected to do the architectural plans for
Forest Dale Golf Course.
Bill showed a lay-out of Forest Dale with an 18-hole executive golf course and
explained it to the Board. He said that County Flood Control will participate in
the excavation of detention basins on the course. These detention basins limit the
area for golf. He proposes to have holding ponds with the fairways being higher,
allowing play to continue during flooding; cart paths throughout; leaving all exist-
ing trees except one. There are six par 4' s and twelve par 3' s with a total yardage
of 3,687. Bill projects that basic construction costs will be approximately $900,000
to $1 ,000,000.
Ione inquired about the swim & tennis center and why it is taken out of the plan.
Scott said that the feasibility study done by Wally Cooper & Assoc. recommended the
center be removed to necessitate for parking needs. Bill suggested _moving
the center to Fairmont Park where there are existing tennis courts. The lease is

not due on the center, but John said the Parks Dept. could possibly buy them out for
improvements made to the facility.
Scott said that the Parks Dept. would like construction to begin in the Fall of 1985.
The course could be playable in the Spring of 1987, making the course unplayable for
only one season. Financing would need to be arranged and the plan would need to go
before the City Council before construction could begin.
Scott mentioned that he would like to see the rennovation of the clubhouse take place
at the same time as construction on the course. The Attorney' s Office has run into
some problems trying to get approval on leasing the building out to a private sector
due to changes in Congress.
Wayne Hadley motioned to approve the 18-hole executive course as presented by Bill
Neff. Jerry Mika seconded the motion which was opened for discussion. Dr. Parker
asked when the master plan would be presented to the Community Council . John ex-
plained that a meeting could be set up after it is approved by the Board and City
Council . Jimmy Brown asked Bill if he felt this master plan could be enjoyed by all
types of players. Bill stated that the course is designed for golfers of all levels.
Dr. Parker asked if this change will dictate an increase in golf passes. Jimmy Brown
said the fee structure will need to be reviewed. The motioned passed unanimously,
Board members voting "aye. " Larry Leidtke opposed.
GOLF COURSE FEASIBILITY STUDY
Scott said the draft of the Feasibility Study performed by Pannell , Kerr, Forster
had just been received this morning, so he wasn' t able to review it completely. A
copy was distributed to Board members. Scott asked Board members to read and review
the draft for further discussion at the next meeting.
Art Cudworth explained that the study determined whether one, two, or three golf
courses were needed in Salt Lake City. They determined that by the year 2000, three
golf courses would be needed. The sites are at the Airport, north of the Inter-
national Center, and to the West - LDS site.
Ione asked if they studied the affect of the noise at the Airport. Art explained
that they found it to be a positive factor.
Norma asked Board members to read the study and be ready for discussion at the next
meeting.
OTHER BUSINESS
Scott said the season golf pass fees need to be reviewed. Currently they sell at
$121 .50 for Senior Citizen and $200.00 for Regular. Last year, Senior Citizen pass
golfers averaged $1 .38 per round. It costs approximately $3.25 per golfer to cover
maintenance costs. The Parks Dept. proposes to raise the fees. Scott suggested the
possiblity of having a cut-off date for buying discounted season passes. Discussion
continued.

Regular Passes to $225.00. Jerry Mika seconded the motion which passed unanimously,
all Board members present voting "aye."
