Presidents Report – Ed introduced Mike Maino, Chairman BBRD Board of Trustees who is also a

member of our men's league. Mike said that he has been working to get clarification on our

chit system in the pro shop and weather or not they should expire. He reported the following:

 

That a general question was asked of BBRD legal counsel Mr. Repperger about our

chits.

It was determined by our legal counsel that chits are not gift certificates because they are considered sporting event prizes and under Florida Law they “can” expire.

Ernie Cruz published a letter informing us of this as well as saying that he understands
the confusion and Trepidation over the past year and that he will extend the expiration

date for any outstanding chits to 12/23/2022.

There will be a letter coming from the Board of Trustees informing us of this decision

and that in the future these chits will be extended to expire on 12/23 each year rather

than in September.

Our options at this point are:

1. Stop using chits and write checks or pay each winner weekly or at some

1. 1. 1. 1. 1. 1. duration.

2. We can continue with the current chit system and they will expire in

1. 1. 1. 1. 1. 1. December each year.

3. We can tell the Chairman that we do not want chits to expire and ask that he

present a motion to that effect at a future BBRD Board of Trustees meeting.

A lengthy discussion with questions and answers about this subject followed.

David Lane made a motion that we authorize Mike Maino to introduce a motion at the June

BBRD Trustees Meeting to change the rules governing the chits for golf leagues so that they do not expire. This was seconded by Gene Petty. A standing count was taken with the motion passing.
