To: CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF CLERMONT, FLORIDA
Dated: November 2, 1965
WHEREAS the Junior Woman's Club of Clermont is presently
responsible for the operation, maintenance and activities conducted at
the Highlander Hut located on City owned property; and
WHEREAS, it is the consensus of the membership of the Junior
Woman's Club of Clermont that the operation and maintenance of these
activities could best be handled by another group;
THEREFORE, We, the Junior Woman's Club of Clermont Resolve
that the following proposal which has proven to be an efficient and
acceptable method of handling such activities, be submitted to the
City Council of the City of Clermont concerning the operation and
maintenance of the Highlander Hut.
PROPOSAL_
1. We propose that the managing, operating and maintaining
and scheduling of activities at the Highlander Hut be conducted by a
joint Youth Council-Advisory Council which will be composed as follows:
a. The Youth Council shall consist of officers duly elected
from the Highlander Hut membership and also two (2) representatives
from each of the grades, 7 through 12, of the Clermont High School.
b. The Advisory Council shall consist of the following:
1. A Junior Woman's Club representative
2. A representative appointed by the City Council.
3. A faculty representative from the Clermont High School.
4. Five (5) adults elected by the Youth Council.
c. The president elected from the Highland Hut membership
shall serve as president of the Youth Council.
d. The Advisory Council shall elect a chairman from its
membership.
e. The initial term for which the membership of each Council
shall be elected shall be staggered so that the membership will have

over-lapping terms. We propose that one-half of the membership of each
Council be elected for six (6) months and one-half be elected for one (1)
year, initially.
f. The Youth Council may suggest and recommend activities
and shall draw up By-Laws to govern the operation of the Highlander Hut,
but any recommendations shall be subject to approval of the Advisory
Council.
g. The Youth Council and the Advisory Council shall hold
joint meetings at least once monthly, such meetings to be open to the
public.
We, the Junior Woman's Club of Clermont, feel that the above
proposal would be an efficient and practical method of conducting
continuing activities at the Highlander Hut. However, if this method
should not prove acceptable then the Junior Woman's Club respectfully
requests that the management of the highlander Hut be returned to
them.
