Elerath, Reid, Bennett, Acklin, Laws and Smith were present. Councilor Acklin reported on a meeting of the principals in the three-way agreement earlier in the day and that the City gave another lot to Toney rather than paying for the survey, stretch of road and other costs. Acklin said the City should pay the closing costs and title insurance on the property involved. The phase schedule was discussed and Acklin said that it still would have to go to the Planning Conmission. It was noted by Acklin that the first phase of the project would have to start within eighteen months and the golf course will be under construct- ion as soon as the agreement is executed. Re~d asked if there is a time line that will guarantee we will have an eighteen hole golf Course. Salter said there is no guarantee but that the agreement is contingent upon Sullivan getting a loan. Sullivan noted that he has seventy members signed up but doesn't want to overload the course. On question of Acklin as to how the money issue was arrived at, Acklin said there had been an appraisal done. Smith asked if there could be a deadline date for compiet-- ion and Salter said something could be added to the agreement saying the loan is to be used on the expansion of golf course only and Sullivan agreed to that contingency. Laws expressed concern that enough would be spent on each hole to make it a quality golf course. Sullivan said you can spend between $25,000 and $50,000 a hole and said he planned on being in the middle of those two figures. Parks Director Mickelson was in the audience and said he had managed two golf courses previous to coming to Ashland and in his opinion it will be a fine golf course and a tremendous addition to the con~nunity. Lee Howard agreed saying that the course has been a topic of conversation for ten years and the bank is supportive and so is the community.
