Dear Mayor and Council Members:
RECEIVED
JUL-823
City Of Meridian
City Clerk Office
After receiving a word from Elroy Huff that we should consider using the City's sprayer for use in
controlling weeds on the City's golf course, we contacted Elroy, Doug Strong and Tammy
DeWeerd back in April to take them up on this offer. We were told that someone trained in the use
of the sprayer would have to apply the herbicide and that we could have an employee of Cherry
Lane trained to spray the course. This is understandable and we were working with the City to
arrange a time for this training.
Then we were surprised to learn that the Mayor had decided that it would be inappropriate. for the.
City to lend its Park's equipment for use on the golf course. This decision was communicated to
the council a few of weeks ago. We first learned of this decision at the golf course committee.
meeting of June 4, 2003. From what we understand, the Council discussed the use of the sprayer
and felt that City equipment should not be "loaned". We also understand that the. Council feels
there is a need to adopt a policy in connection with the use of City equipment. We appreciate this
and would encourage the City to adopt such a policy.
As you know, we have been trying to develop a closer working relationship with the City. As the
manager of the City's course, we would prefer to work more directly with the City on issues such
as this. It may he-that the- City will adopt a policy that allows entities like us to rent equipment
from the city. We would certainly be willing to explore this further with the City.
Sincerely,
J fifer Lovan-Holloway, General .onager
