One of the things I want to talk about is that on the personnel, where it talks about the two full-time police officer positions, I just want to make that clear that those positions have been in play for several years now, and that it was just we didn't fill them based on. And during the workshops for the last couple of When we did the workshops, it was determined under the workforce statistics that we needed to go ahead and fill these positions. I don't want the public to think that we're talking about a lean budget and yet we're creating positions.…”

“Sorry, I turned his on and mine off. The only issue I have, I do agree with the 180 days. I think we're giving outside entities way too much time, but that's, I understand that we can't make them do. But I do have a question on the 335 on the end. I would like reasonable period of time defined. We talked, I mean, I have a thing with open-ended time frames.”

“Correct. Okay. And even if the violation is at least acknowledged, they have a violation, they have 14 days to acknowledge that they've received a violation and what they're going to do or what their plans are to rectify that violation. Regardless, if it can't be rectified in 14 days, that's still at least they're acknowledging. But a reasonable period of time, I could get back to you in about six months when my marker's being put in.”

“Since this is done across the golf course world, can we maybe pull some, like, policies or direction from other courses and just see what they do and how they do it? Because this is something you have never implemented, correct? Correct. You've never charged anybody for not showing up. So if we're going to implement this, then let's make sure that we have a practice in play that's going to be standard across the board and we're not doing selective enforcement or selective adherence to it. So if we could come up with, just see what other policies and maybe adapt something that will work for…”

“And I'm not doubting that, but I would just like to have something in play, something that we can, if we're starting something new and we're going to start, because I can hear that first person that this happens to, so going just completely bonkers with it. So I would really like to see this is what we're going to do, this is how we're going to do it, and this is what we're going to do for everybody that fails to show up a call. And this is how it's going to be played across the board. And whatever that is, and whatever you determine that that is that works for you, but I'd like to see those…”

What I'm wanting, and if you have it in play and you have it in play, I just don't see it. I see one sentence here. I just want something that when you, and this is to protect the city and the golf course as well, is that when you're doing, when you've done this, that this is what you're doing and this is what you're telling the people And it's the same thing that you're telling every person regardless of who they are and what the check, but it's the same…”

“Okay, so when you do that, then you have that clause on there. This is what we do. They put it right on the same, that this is what we're going to do. And if you don't show up and this is what it is, but it's something that is going to be the same for every person.”
