The Murphy Report
Mr. Murphy indicated that they cleaned up along Goodyear, the overgrown brush and
right side of 13. The fall is a good time of year to do it.
Mr. Carter stated that multiple cars on McKay Street are getting hit by golf balls. The
state law indicates that golfers are responsible for their actions. We have however put
them through our insurance. If this becomes repetitious, we may be adding on to this tee
and it may require netting.

the tee near McKay Street. Then they will blow out the sprinklers at the end of the
