Wright, D' ctor <br />Emergency Services <br />DATE: September 7, 2000 <br />SUBJECT: Invitation From John's Island Club for Staff to Participate in "Public Safety Day" <br />-Golf Outing <br />Since 1990 (except for 1999), John's Island Club has sponsored a "Public Safety Day" golf outing <br />at one of the three courses operated by John's Island.

The golf outing was not held in 1999 due to <br />consttuctiontrenovation of the golf facilities. <br />RECOMMENDATION: <br />Staffrespectfiilly requests favorable consideration by the Board of the invitation from John's Island <br />Club for Emergency Services staff to participate in the golf outing. <br />SEPTEIVIBF.�R 19, 2000 <br />2 14 <br />6K i <br />-52- <br />
