OF GOLF COURSE AND NON-
Councilman Grinn moved that all non-resident members of the golf
course and non-residents that are on the waiting list be invited by
telephone, or by first class mail, to pre-register for golf
membership for the next fiscal year. The pre-membership must be
accompanied with a check (no cash) made out to the Village of North
Palm Beach in the amount of $50.00. The only bases for the refund
of the $50.00 is death of the applicant, physical disability of the
applicant, non-acceptance of membership by Village option, or if
membership dues will be in excess of 25°s over this year's dues. It
should be clearly explained in the communication that membership
will not guarantee any play, but best effort will be made to
accommodate members a minimum of two tee times per week whenever
climatologically feasible or special events do not intrude. The
motion was seconded by Councilman Moore and passed 3-1, with Mayor
Marks, Councilman Grinn and Councilman Moore voting aye and

ORIENTATION OF ISSUE:
The golf course has been open for five months as of March 31, 1990. Staff
has-_compiled some of the problem areas we are experiencing with our Rules & --
Regulations and are recommending the following changes:
1. In the Rules & Regulations, page 5, Sec. IV, ELECTRIC CARTS, it is
recommended a new paragraph be added allowing physically handicap
golfers missing a leg limb be allowed to drive their golf carts
the greens and tees. This, in effect, would make them an exception to
paragraph j. of ,the same section prohibiting carts a minimum of 30 feet
from the slopes of the greens and tees. The definition of handicap
would be the missing of a leg limb.
2. In the Rules & Regulations, page 5, Sec. IV, ELECTRIC CARTS, it is
reconmended that a new paragraph be added allowing wheelchair or non-
ambulatory individuals confined permanently to wheelchairs be allowed
to play the course and to also access the greens and tees. Said play
would be limited to designated dates and times, as determined by the
Pro, not to exceed more than two times per month and not to be
scheduled during prime playing times (i.e. 8 am-2 pm).
3. Recommended change to the Rules & Regulations on page 3, Section III,
STARTING TIMES/RESERVATIONS/TOURNAMENT PLAY, amending paragraph c.
adding the following language to the end of the sentence: "...for green
fee paying customers first and then members may use any remaining
available open times."
4. Recommend amending the Rules & Regulations on page 3, Section III,
STARTING TIMES/RESERVATIONS/TOURNAMENT PLAY, paragraph g. to add the
following to subparagraph 1. to read as follows: "...and up to five
Sunday morning tee times."
PROGRAMMATIC OR POLICY IMPACT:
It is believed that these amendments to the Rules & Regulations will
accommodate certain handicap golfers and full-time employed members without
permanent tee times and make the game more pleasurable for their enjoyment;
the other changes should help improve green fee revenues.
FISCAL IMPACT: ISSUE BUDGETED
FUNDS AVAILABLE
BUDGET TRANSFER
BUDGET APPROPRIATION
There should be a decided increase in green fee revenues as a result of
limiting the Ywo open tee times to green fee players first. There is no
anticipated fiscal impact, either positive or negative, as a result of the
other rule changes.
..
RECOMMENDATION:
The staff recommends the various change as cited above under "Orientation
of Issue." If Council desires to go forward with these changes, it would
be _appropriate to draft a resolution amending the Golf Course Rules &
Regulations as adopted by reference under Resolution No. 27-89.
