The meeting was called to order at 7:30 p.nk Mr. Bennett dispensed with the regular
agenda to address Mr. Guido Liporto who wrote to the commission regarding the dues.
At age 80 member players become "honorary" members (free) and he feels the age needs
to be lowered as it is a hardship for him and he would be emotionally distraught to give
up his membership. After some discussion Mrs. Murphy feels this mattar needs some
investigating. Mr. Bennett referred this matter to policy and Grievance and asks that they
come back at the next meeting with a recommendation~
COMMITTEES:
Facilities: Nothing to report.
Budget, Audit and Long Range Planning: Mr.'s Kenney, Crimmins, Altshuler, Bennett,

commission dated November 10, 1999 relating to increases in fees and sharing of such
increases between Friel GolfMgmt. and the City of Beverly and to conform the practice
with respect to such increases in fees to the terms of the RFP dated April 1998. All in
