The minutes from March 22, 2000 were approved with the following correction: <br />It was incorrectly reported in the minutes that Dick Neumeier would call Peter Kelly to discuss a <br />schedule. The correct person is Rick DeAngelis. <br /> <br />2. Wendy Rudner was present to request that the Recreation Committee consider instituting a <br />seasonal membership at Pine Meadows. She submitted a study of fees at a few local golf <br />courses. She suggested the $500-700 range. Wendy would be willing to do a survey on the <br />weekend to see how often people play during the season. She suggested running a pilot program <br />as a trial. <br /> <br />Don said that this issue has come up several times during the last ten years and they have never <br />really done a full-blown survey. Karen reminded the committee that they need to look at the golf <br />contract because the management company gets a percentage of income. We are currently <br />operating at full capacity, almost 49,000 rounds. Karen spoke to Bill Harrison of New England <br />Golf and he is not in support of a seasonal membership. Sandra sees no reason to offer a <br />membership. Memberships are usually set to attract new people or for the community. <br />Companies can buy passes for a specific amount of money for a specific number of passes. <br />Individuals can also buy passes in bulk. Mercury Air is currently the only company that takes <br />advantage of this program. <br /> <br />We will be taking a hard look at the fee structure for next year. One function of performance <br />measurement could be asking about a membership possibility. <br />1625 MASSACHUSETTS AVENUE • LEXINGTON, MASSACHUSETTS 02420 <br /> <br /> <br />
