He asked for a moratorium on the driving range <br />but had never received any response. He would like to see the driving range proposal <br />deferred as the Parks’ Department was working on a five year master plan now and <br />would like it to be incorporated in this plan. It is not that people were against the driving <br />range, it is just where the driving range was to be placed that they opposed. Mr. Glickert <br />said Council just had a special session on the driving range three days previously, with <br />still more questions. He asked the Council to defer the present driving range plan. <br /> <br />Mr. Price stated that he was elected to do the best for the City. If nothing would be done <br />at Ruth Park the City would need to close the park because the City can no longer fund <br />its yearly operational deficit. It was projected that in five years the City will have a four <br />million dollar deficit. Mr. Price said that the driving range would fit with his article on <br />strong schools makes for a strong city, as a driving range would give the school children <br />an opportunity to learn the game of golf. If the answer to increase the revenue of the <br />golf course would be to market it, but that too would bring in more traffic. Mr. Price said <br />he would keep check on the cost-over-run and the safety issues. <br /> <br />Mr. Wagner thanked everyone for being concerned and becoming involved in University <br />City. He felt there were risks with the driving range but felt there were more risks <br />financially with doing nothing. <br /> <br /> <br />
