Gerhardson said it could also be some revenue for the Park. <br /> Bradley asked if the acquisition cost of the golf course was paid off. <br /> Gerhardson said the debt was retired and no debt would be taken over. <br /> Ilse asked where the money goes now. <br /> Gerhardson explained that it goes toward the operation and any profits <br /> go into the general fund and although there is not much profit, it <br /> does operate in the black. <br /> Wilson said that golf is very popular and lessons could increase the <br /> revenue. <br /> Flint said there is no question about looking at it but the issue is <br /> whether to do it separately during the first quarter or to do it as <br /> part of the Comprehensive Plan in the fourth quarter. <br /> Bradley felt there is no significant difference or reason to be <br /> accelerated to the first quarter and that there is no urgency to it. <br /> Flint expressed that he would like to get something done but it makes <br /> more sense to do it as part of the Comprehensive Plan and get public <br /> involvement in the process. <br /> Bradley stated that there is a philosophical question up to this point <br /> and added that the City is not, in terms of parks and recreations, <br /> particularly involved in running. They simply mow the grass and put <br /> out docks. All the programs are run by the OBA or the schools or <br /> somebody else. To take over the golf course, the Park Commission <br /> would become an operating agency and that would lead to over forms of <br /> administration and we would begin to administer, run programs, youth <br /> programs for instance. He said to recognize that you cross the line <br /> when you get into something like that. <br /> Flint agreed and said that we might ultimately have a staff that is <br /> running the program like other cities and we should hold it and do it <br /> as part of the Comprehensive Plan. <br /> Bradley agreed to put it off to the fourth quarter. <br /> Wilson agreed to it and taking a careful look of going into the <br /> Comprehensive Plan. <br /> Bradley questioned if the last item in the fourth quarter - "Complete <br /> planning for recreation complex at County Road 6 and Old Crystal Bay <br /> Road" is the school property, the extent of involvement in planning, <br /> and if it is the school's project. <br /> Flint agreed and that we do not want to get involved in a major way. <br /> Johnston will be showing sketches of that area at the next meeting and <br /> wi 1 1 be acting as a cata lyast to move the thing a long. At this time <br /> there is no contemplation that would cost money. <br /> 6 <br />
