Mayor Pierman called the meeting to order at 7:03 p.m. All members
of Council were present except Vice Mayor Kelsey and Councilman
Vastola. Staff present was Dennis Kelly, Village Manager.
A comparative analysis was made between the Country Club
Administrative Board draft contracts and the current contracts.
,~ The consensus of Council determined that the Professionals' should
remain independent contractors, and pay increases should not exceed
those given to other Village employees.
Discussion was held concerning the Village employees who sell
merchandise in the various Pro Shops. The Village Manager was
directed to check into the legality of this practice.
Stronger language should be included in the contracts establishing
responsibility of the Professionals to be consultants to the
Village regarding maintenance of their respective facilities, and
shall bear responsibility in ensuring that proper repairs are made
and facilities properly maintained.
Discussion took place concerning the Country Club Administrative
Board's recommendation concerning an 800/20% split of net profits
from Golf instruction and Pool instruction. This recommendation
was not accepted, due to its impracticality.
The Village Manager was directed to obtain clarification from the
Village Attorney regarding Section 2.B. (Swim Instruction) of the
current contract with Pool Manager Dick Cavanah, and clearer
definition of the term "non-instructional".
.r The Village Manager requested that Mr. Baldwin review Section 2.B.
and 2.C. of the Pool Manager's contract, as it relates to the
setting of fees by Cavanah and the Administrative Board outside the
budgetary process. Additionally, Mr. Kelly will ask for legal
interpretation of "aquatic" events as opposed to "special" events

in Section 2.C. The language of Special/Social Events also needs
clarification.
Brief discussion was held concerning establishment of a fee for all
non-members who use Club facilities, with the proceeds going to the
Village. The Village Manager was directed to investigate current
policies concerning this.
Section 3 B. and 3 C. of the contracts are to be reviewed by the
Village Attorney to determine if procedures for collecting the
Village's revenues are adequate.
The Village Manager suggested that, in lieu of an 800/20$ split in
net profits, the monthly lease amount could be increased to $300 or
$350, as a means of gaining revenue; or a cost based on square foot
usage of indoor facilities would be an alternative in arriving at
a monthly lease amount.
The Council agreed that the lease amount for each Professional
,,,~ should be $300.00 per month, but would like the square footage
figures as a comparison.
Mr. Kelly stated that the term "facility" as stated in both the
proposed and current contracts is very broad, and may need specific
definition. Mayor Pierman requested that the Village Attorney
define this.
It was agreed that the duration of the contracts shall continue to
be one year.
The contracts will be reviewed and clarified by the Village
Attorney and brought back before the Council.
There being no further business to come before the Council, the
meeting adjourned at approximately 8:20 p.m.
