<br /> <br />Larry Mass, 8131 Balson Ave. <br />Mr. Mass has already sent written letters to the Council. He said the learning <br />center/driving range offers University City a unique opportunity to be able to be self- <br />supporting by enhancing the use of the park and its programs. <br /> <br />Mary Hart, 6901 Cornell <br />Ms. Hart explained how she did not have an interest in golf until she learned of the <br />possible opening of a learning center/driving range. She felt that presently, the golf <br />course is not open to her learning or for her daughter to be able to join her. <br /> <br />Michelle Mufson, 1008 Laval Dr. <br />Ms. Mufson lives on the golf course and has just taken lessons with Ron Akins but does <br />not feel comfortable playing yet. She would love a driving range in which she could <br />practice. Ms Mufson would encourage a closing time of 9:30 p.m. <br /> <br />Max Gornish, 1019 Laval Dr <br />Mr. Gornish learned the game of golf as a youth at Ruth Park. He said the practice area <br />presently can safely only accommodate one person at a time. <br /> <br />Harold Schafer, 6912 Waterman Ave. <br />Mr. Schafer loves playing golf at Ruth Park and would love a place to hit balls instead of <br />having to drive to another community. He mentioned examples of fine youths that were <br />brought up through Ruth Park Golf training. <br /> <br />Darrell Ward, 8600 Richard Court <br />Mr. Ward learned to play golf at Ruth Park. He is one that presently uses the free <br />practice area but would support a driving range/learning center so more could be <br />accommodated. Mr. Ward agreed that the group of fifteen did resent any intruders using <br />“their” practice area and would welcome the driving range/learning center to be more <br />inclusive of letting more practice the game of golf. <br /> <br /> <br />M. COUNCIL COMMENTS <br />Mr. Glickert asked the City Manger to describe what is taking place concerning all of the <br />boxes of print material located in front of University City Library. <br /> <br />Ms. Ricci stated that she has sent to the Council her minutes taken from the Historic <br />Preservation Commission she attends as Council liaison and would hope other Council <br />liaison members would do the same in order for Council to stay informed. She would like <br />to receive the minutes so she would become aware of what the commissions might be <br />considering. <br /> <br />Ms. Brot explained about the Sutter Meyer Society’s goal to make the oldest house in <br />University City into a living museum. The Society has applied for their first state grant for <br />outreach and planning. Ms. Brot invited everyone to come to the open house on <br />September 16 to see the Sutter-Meyer house, along with an architectural dig. Ms. Brot <br />invited everyone to attend to the Community Flea Market and Outdoor Yard Sale on <br />September 15 from 8:00 to 2:00 at Heman Park Pool parking lot. Ms. Brot congratulated <br />the University City Police Department on their receiving its fourth award from the <br /> <br />
