Mayor Linke indicated that this membership is part of his employment and to be a PGA pro you have to belong to this organization. Golf Course Manager Burg indicated it is typical that when you belong to a professional association the employer pays for it but Council will need to decide whether to pay for memberships during the budgeting process.
