JUN 2 3 1987BOOK 5,9 Mr. Schuler then reviewed the history of the creation of the golf course, starting with a phone call to him from Commissioner Bird in January of 1984 and the creation of the Golf Course Feasibility Committee as approved by the Commission on February 28, 1984. The members of that committee, some of whom are present today, were Harold Djorup; Gerald Ashcraft, Treasurer; Richard Schuler; the late Remsen Walker; Ruth Mead, Secretary; Vic Lunka; Ron Fanaro, Attorney; Clyde "Bud" Morrison; and Charles Block, Architect. The Commission members at that time were Patrick Lyons, Chairman; Don Scurlock, Vice Chairman; Richard Bird; William Wodtke; and Margaret Bowman. Mr. Schuler noted that the job was completed and the committee dismissed last December, but since they had some funds left over, they decided to make a presentation to the Board of a plaque setting out for posterity the names of the Committee members and the Commis- sioners. Mr. Schuler presented the plaque to Chairma.n Scurlock and expressed the hope that it would be displayed in the Administration Building. Gerald Ashcraft, Treasurer of the Golf Course Feasibility Committee, then -presented the Chairman with a check for $200, representing the balance left when they closed out their account. Commissioner Bird expressed his thanks to those who served on the committee for the tremendous job they did in bringing the golf course project to a successful completion and believed they now can look on the finished project with pride. Chairman Scurlock added his thanks to the Committee, especially in getting out the message that we wanted the course to function on its own and be self-supporting, and he was happy to announce that the course grossed $74,000 in the first month, and last Saturday had its biggest day, grossing over $3,000 in one day. He believed our revenue projections are right on line and was optimistic that the course will not only be self- supporting but may even have a surplus. 2
