Resolution Re Rockwood Park Golf Course
Consideration was given to a letter from Cyril Oram, Chairman of

would like the March 10,2003 Council resolution rescinded until some issues regarding
the pass structure, fees and hours of play are resolved, and submitting information on
some of their concerns.
On motion of Councillor Fitzgerald

COMMON COUNCIUREUNION DU CONS ElL MUNICIPAL
MARCH 24, 2003/LE 24 MARS 2003
The City Solicitor was asked for an opinion on the process in terms of
rescinding the motion and subsequently dealing with the matter; and Mr. Nugent
suggested that Council could refer the question of the effect of rescinding the earlier
motion to him to examine the contract documents and resolution more closely and
provide a written response to Council at its next meeting.
On motion of Councillor Trites
Seconded by Councillor Desmond
RESOLVED that the above matter be
referred to the City Solicitor for a report at the next meeting, and Municipal Golf 2000
and Total Golf Management Inc. be invited to make a presentation at that time, if
appropriate.
Councillor Titus advised that he would not support the referral motion as
the fees seemed very reasonable to him compared to, for example, fees at Hampton,
Riverside or Westfield; and Councillor Teed expressed concern that, if Council waited
two weeks, it might be too late to rescind the motion because delay gives rights and the
party may have taken positive action on the motion; and suggested that Council should
adopt a rescinding motion at this time and, if the City Solicitor's opinion is that Council
made a mistake in doing so, Council could then rescind the rescinding motion.
Question being taken, the referral motion was carried with Councillors
Court, Fitzgerald, Titus and Teed voting "nay".
21. Municipal Golf 2000 - resolution du conseil du
10 mars 2003 relative au terrain de Qolf du parc Rockwood
Examen d'une lettre de Cyril Oram, president de Municipal Golf 2000, un
groupe de titulaires de laissez-passer du terrain de golf du parc Rockwood, demandant
I'annulation de la resolution du conseil du 10 mars 2003, jusqu'a ce que certaines
questions relatives aux laissez-passer, a la grille tarifaire et aux horaires soient reg lees,
et fournissant des precisions sur les preoccupations du groupe.
Proposition du conseiller Fitzgerald
Appuyee par Ie conseiller Court
QUE la resolution du conseil du 10 mars
2003 approuvant la grille tarifaire 2003 pour Ie terrain de golf du parc Rockwood et Ie
champ d'exercice Aquatic so it annulee.
L'avis de I'avocat municipal est sollicite en ce qui concerne Ie processus
d'annulation de la proposition et la maniere de proceder par la suite. M. Nugent suggere
que Ie conseillui demande de se pencher sur les effets de I'annulation de la proposition
initiale pour qu'il puisse proceder a un examen plus attentif de la resolution et des
documents contractuels et fournir une reponse ecrite au conseil a la prochaine reunion.
Proposition du conseiller Trites
Appuyee par Ie conseiller Desmond
QUE la question susmentionnee so it
soumise a I'avocat municipal pour qu'il fasse un rapport a la prochaine reunion et que
Municipal Golf 2000 et Total Golf Management Inc. soient invites a faire une
presentation a ce moment, s'il ya lieu.
Le conseiller Titus indique qu'il n'appuiera pas la proposition de renvoi
puisque les tarifs lui semblent tres raisonnables, comparativement a ceux de Hampton,
de Riverside ou de Westfield par exemple. Le conseiller Teed croit que, si Ie conseil
attend deux semaines, il pourrait etre trop tard pour annuler la proposition, car Ie retard
confere des droits a la partie en cause qui pourrait avoir pose des gestes concrets a la
suite de I'adoption de la proposition. II suggere que Ie conseil adopte des maintenant
une proposition visant a annuler la resolution et, si I'avocat municipal estime que Ie
conseil a commis une erreur en agissant ainsi, Ie conseil pourrait annuler la proposition
d'annulation.
A I'issue du vote, la proposition est acceptee, les conseillers Court,
Fitzgerald, Titus et Teed ayant vote contre.
