Report read by F.W.Bender, Secretary of the Chamber of Commerce, as to the financial
condition of the Municipal Golf Course and urging assistance by the City to maintain the
course under the following conditions:
That the Golf Committee of the Chamber of Commerce put on a drive for new memberships
with the aim of securing two hundred such memberships, the rate to be $10.00 per year for
single memberships, and $20.00 per year for family memberships, and that the City appropriate
$2500.00 per year, it being anticipated from the previous year's report that the amount to be
raised from the memberships, estimated at about $2500.00 , plus the amount to be paid by
the City, plus - approximately $1,000.00 to be derived from greens fees, will be sufficient
to operate the-course for one year.
After considerable discussion as to the advisability of keeping the Golf Course in
operation , Commissioner Leffler offered the following resolution:
That the City contribute $2500.00 per year commencing April 1st. 1930, payable in
monthly installments, subject to the Committee from the Chamber of Commerce raising a like
amount in memberships; also subject to the reduction of the membership dues to $10.00 per
year for residents of Seminole County for single memberships and $20.00 per year for family
memberships; that the greens fees be placed at $1.00 and that membership dues for those
residing outside Seminole County be placed at $40.00 per year; that the Golf Committee of
the Chamber of'Commerce make monthly reports to the City Commission showing that they are
carrying out their part of the financial end of the deal; and that the City's contribution
be under the supervision of some member of this Commission.
