At the conclusion of the meeting, doubt still existed in the minds of the officials. "Therefore, we are once again resubmitting our proposal for council decision. It is our proposal: 1. Form a non-profit corporation with a $200 membership subscription open to all, regardless of race, color, or creed. 2. Construct a $40,000 structure when cash is made availab,e subject to plans being approved by the city. 3. Lease to be granted by the city to our group for 50 years to operate the showers, lockers, and lounge facilities on the downstairs level. 4. Up -stairs facilities, snack bar, and club storage, subject to further lease to mutually exceptable group or groups. 5. City to have repossession privileges at any time on a depreciation basis over a twenty-year period." A discussion followed. Councilman Kilbury gave his opinion as follows (Not a committee recommendation): "Over the past few months I have studied the proposition in regard to building a club house on the municipal golf course. I have refrained from expressing my opinion in the public press in order to evaluate the proposition. _ I have borne in mind that many of the people involved are people to whom we are indebted for having the golf course at all. However, the golf course is open to all for a nominal sum;_ whereas, in in permitting the construction of this facility, we would almost certainly have to grant and the backers would have a right to expect, privileges which would not be available to the general public. I cannot in all conscience agree to this. Even if we must wait, I feel the city can construct at a later date, facilities for bag storage, showers, etc. which would be availab4e to all, and this, in my opinion is a more equitable solution." Councilman Combs would like the opinion of the Committee. None was reported. Councilmen Moore, James, Combs and Van Hoy expressed their opinions. None were for the proposal in its entirety as presented by Ed Hendler. In conclusion Motion was made by Kilbury, seconded by Combs to reject the proposal as presented by the Pasco Golf Athletic Association. Motion carried by roll call vote of five (5).
