Lenny said he was disappointed because he had imagined that perhaps he could land one of the starring roles in the film. The board got a good laugh out of this statement. Cooper reminded the board that there would not be a meeting in December, (at this point Mayor Nancolas entered the room). Cooper welcomed the mayor. Cooper told the board that stapled to the back of the October minutes were copies of the new amended credit and refund policy. Cooper read a letter from Richard Carrow asking for a credit or refund on his wife's pass. She had gotten ill after buying the pass and was never able to play. Cooper said he had already informed Carrow that he did not qualify for a refund because he did not submit his request on time.

Mayor Nancolas passed out to the board members a final financial report for the fiscal year 2003. The Mayor explained some of the amounts to the board. The final bottom line shows that the golf courses lost $14,000 for the year. Pat Inglis questioned the mayor about this loss figure. Pat said that last month EIJay had given a report to the board that showed we were $70,000 in the black. A long discussion followed about the accounting procedures used by the city. The Mayor explained that the report given by EIJay probably didn't include all of the bills that hadn't been paid and expenses that hadn't been met.

The Mayor said that the golf courses are part of the � Parks and Recreation Department of the City of Caldwell. He also said that one of the $20,000 withdrawals has not yet been used and is sitting in reserve. 5) REPORT FROM LENNY STROUP Lenny said that his revenue is still down. A discussion was held on the affect that the new $9.00 round is having on his revenue.

Lenny told the board about some new golf card proposals that he has received. These cards give the holders discounts at certain golf courses around the country.
