Summary

The board voted to roll a family membership to 2025 after the member missed play due to medical issues and discussed (but did not adopt) a proposed veterans discount — staff will return with specific policy language and verification procedures for a future vote.

A member requested refund or transfer of a family membership after medical issues kept the family from playing in 2024. Eric (Speaker 6) described the situation and board members debated whether to transfer or refund. Speaker 5 moved that the board roll the membership forward to 2025 and that the member pay any fee increase that occurs for 2025; Speaker 8 seconded and the motion passed by voice vote. Board members noted the motion should be clearly recorded in the minutes so that administration can apply the correct fees at renewal.

Later in the meeting the board discussed a separate proposal to offer veterans a discount. Speaker 7 described a possible structure: a 10% discount on daily green fees and on memberships, with the senior‑weekday rate retained (a $32 weekday rate that would apply to veterans during that window), and exclusions for punch cards and range buckets. The board debated verification methods (VA ID or ID.me), whether discounts should stack with other offers, and how family versus single memberships would be handled. No motion was made; members agreed to bring a draft policy and specific language back at the next meeting for a formal vote.

An executive session was then moved and seconded; the board voted to enter executive session and later adjourned, mentioning a tentative next meeting date of Nov. 12.
