The members of the board discussed the pros and cons of the Golf Southwest Idaho brochure. It was agreed that the publication had been appreciated by the public and that all copies had been taken and used. A discussion followed on whether to take a full page or a half page ad.

It does not however protect them from a criminal act. A discussion was held on the map that Bob Bushnell had given the city showing the two fairways going through his property. These fairways would give the access to the Hanson and Machen properties to the south which the city has purchased to be used for a new gotf course. Mr., Bushnell wou(d like to have a commitment from the city on the exact location of those two fairways so he can continue with his development plans. After a lengthy discussion of the many issues involved in access across the Bushnell property it was decided that what was needed is a golf course architect to do a preliminary 18 hole routing plan for the course. If this were done then it could be seen where the two fairways access the Bushnell property should be located. Cooper said he would bring this to the attention of the mayor and Mr. Bushnell.
