FURTHER DISCUSSION RE PROPOSED CONSTRUCT ION OF RACING SWIM POOL Mr. Ted Feibusch was present to present to the Council his plans for the construction of the proposed racing swim pool. He stated that his offer as made to the City at a previous Council meeting was that the pool be located at the Municipal Park, not at the High School. The Council agreed that they were very interested and appreciated his efforts to get this project under way and would like him to review his plans. At this point, Mr. Feibusch presented and explained a plot plan for the construction of the proposed pool including the location of dressing rooms and required equipment. Mr. Feibusch stated that his intention is to have an illustrated plan drawn up, after which he will contact the various service clubs to solicit funds to finance the project. After discussion, the City Engineer was directed to work out the details with Mr. Feibusch and report to the Council next week. DISCUSS ION OF PROPOSED INCREASED GOLF COURSE FEES The City Manager reviewed a tabulation of the proposed adjustment of Municipal Golf Course membership and green fees which had been submitted by the Recreation and Parks Commission as a recommendation to the Council. It was pointed out that the schedule presented contained a deviation from the amount suggested by the commission in the adult green fees for both week days and weekends and holidays. The amounts suggested were $2.00 and $3.00, respectively, with the amounts in the tabulation being $2.50 and $3.50. This change was made after discussion with the golf pro in order to comply with the intent of the commission in adjusting fees to raise sufficient funds to cover normal expenses. The following persons were present and spoke in opposition to the proposed increase: Don Rones, 875 Grove Larry Steppe, 772 Pomolita Way Tom Goforth, 6 James James Wegesser, 659 Mendocino Dr. It was the general opinion of the opposition that the proposed increase is too great particularly in the monthly single member- ship fees. The opinion was also expressed that the proposed in- crease would perhaps be justified if some steps were taken to im- prove the course; a sprinkler system, in their opinion, being the most important improvement needed. Council discussion followed and action deferred until the next regular Council meeting.
