pro, lessons etc. Proposed were three 4-week sessions for wee links,
three 4-week sessions for juniors and three 4-week sessions for seniors

green fees etc. Services were proposed to be over a five year period.
The golf course would also provide cress country skiing. The golf course
is nine holes with ability to be played reversed with nine different holes.

concept for the park commission. Larry Strootman was against services in
lieu of park dedication because he felt this would open up problems with
other developers. He also could not see how this could be administered by
the park commission.

NORTHWOODS TENNIS COURT
Soil borings were done at Northwoods and they found one end of the court
to have been built over 4~ feet of peat and the other end of the court
is built over buried stumps, tar, etc. The council suggested clay
courts be considered but this would be a similar problem. Todd Haas
is pursuing the company who installed the court and the contract
involved. The park board decided that the budgeted money should be
held pending the findings of Todd Haas.
