BUSINESS FROM MANAGER
Annual Golf Fees
A letter was received from Stephen Dunfee, Operations Manager,
Kalispell Golf Association, requesting Council approval of the 1994
Annual Fees. Green Fees have not changed from the 1993 level. The
Annual Season Passes for 2nd Adult member have been raised from
$225.00 to $250.00. Student Passes (Full Time College Students)
have been lowered from $250.00 to $150.00. Discussion at Workshop
indicated Council's desire to in the future provide lower fees for
Kalispell residents. However, because all promotional material has
been prepared for 1994, such an adjustment cannot take place until
the 1995 season. Representatives from the Association expressed a
willingness to entertain such a proposal in the Fall. Williams
recommended Council approval.
There was discussion.

member from $225 to $250 and to lower the Student Pass (Full Time

inspections within the City's jurisdictional area that is presently
