5. Country Club. Review and comment on proposed fees for ballroom use. City
Manager Jim Jeffers stated that while the City has no authority to change or
establish fees charged by the Country Club, by way of contract the City does have a
responsibility to review the fees of the ballroom and meeting rooms on a timely basis.
He also said that since the new facilities do not have a "history" on which to base
user fees, they are being established on a flexible basis depending on which and how
many services are used. The Country Club proposes to charge $450.00 for the full
6,000 sq. ft. Ballroom, and $225.00 for one half of the Ballroom (3,000 sq. ft.) The
Country Club will be making changes as needed in these fees and the Council will be
informed. According to the contract with the City, the Club agrees not to set green
fees or Conference Center rental fees arbitrarily high or at such an unreasonably high
rate as to discourage the general public from enjoyment of the golf course or the
conference center. Dwain Dodson made a request that City Staff make a comparison
of the green fees charged locally and those of surrounding country clubs.
