Council agrees to waive golf‑course rental fee for school fundraisers, to refund girls' team fees and ask staff to create event fee tiers
Summary
Council voted to waive the course rental fee for Beaver High School boys' and girls' fundraiser tournaments, to refund fees paid by the girls' team this year, and asked course staff to return with a standardized fee proposal for different event types.
Jason Pollard, coach/representative for Beaver High School golf, asked the council to waive a previously established $750 tournament fee for high‑school fundraisers and to refund fees recently charged to the girls' team. Council and course management discussed the appropriate balance of covering the clubhouse's direct expenses (carts, meals) while supporting school programs. Course staff described a 25% green‑fee discount offered to school teams this year and noted the course prefers events to buy meals from the clubhouse when the facility is closed for a tournament.
Council members said they wanted to relieve clubhouse staff of spot‑decisions and to create a clear, consistent policy. The mayor/meeting chair stated the council would waive the course‑rental fee for the boys' and girls' school fundraisers, direct staff to refund fees paid by the girls’ coach Annie, and asked course management (Dean) to prepare a proposal that standardizes event fee tiers and clarifies which costs (green fees, cart fees, meals) will be charged or waived for school and nonprofit benefit tournaments.
Council asked staff to return with a written proposal for consistent categories so future waivers do not require repeated council action.
