Tom Hay, of the Dorsey & Whitney Law Firm, presented an informational report on the Oak Glen Golf Course which included the views of the Oak Glen Development Co., the holder of the industrial revenue bonds relating to the Golf Course, the Oak Glen Homeowners Ass'n. Board and other residents and members of the Oak Glen development and Country Club. The report suggested solutions to the problems created by the possibility of operating the golf course as a public course vs. a semi-private course. The report suggested that a purchase price for the golf course Which can be supported by golf course revenues could range between $5,500,000 to $4,561,673 and it appears that a purchase price within the range described could be financed without issuing general obligation bonds.
