John Hayek, •y Attorney -2-• February9, 1976ii,
Selection of members follows two basic patterns. Large clubs will
usually exercise selectivity by excluding categories `of -persons with -
certain
rofessionalcriteria
statuseh=The clubtdoes nocome, political association or:
' P t judge individual characteristics'"
and anyone who meets the criteria will be admitted. -There's no prerequi-
site that everyone "like" everyone else. In the second type'of club
existing -members, either directly or by committee interview prospective
applicants and-decideon extending membershipon the=basis-of subjective -_
and usually unstated criteria. Applicants will be rejected -if "they won't'.
fit in while both methods are acceptable the latter will.be preferred lb
the courts in finding that an establishment is a bona fide:`club.
The best evidence of a club's selectivity is its past. record of
rejections and acceptances. If it has:rejected moreahan a-tokem number
of applicants with a background similar to those of'existing ,members`it.`
is to be assumed that selection has been'carried out'on a oritical basis.
if a-facility'is open to every white within the geographic -area there is
- no plan or purpose of- ,exclusiveness and it is a' -- -
_ _ public accommodation
Sullivan v. Little HuntingPark, 396 U.S. 236 (1967);`Tillman v. Wheaton-
: Haven Recreation Association, 410 U.S_ 431 (1973).i In Sullivan,?the 7 club !:
had rejected one applicant in twelve ,years; in Tillman, one:in eleven year:
The private character of'an establishment is inversely related to the: -
size of its membership. Nesmith, supra, page 102- in Harrington;the idea":of private club is that there must be some association among; the members.
If a club has such an extensive enrollment that membership lists are not,
kept and the size of -the membership is unlimited, there is ,little basis,
for asserting selectivity. Daniel v. r.Paul, -supra. :The common interest'
-.
must be` association ,.with --the -members inthe -"club rather than use of:.the
facility. Nesmith, supra. -Legitimate-•.selectivity islalso'incompatible
with large scale use of the facility by nonmembers. 'It:reduces the':
significance of membership and tends to make the degree of selectivity _
.unimportant.- United StatesbyKatzenbach v.-Jack-Sabin's-Private-Club,
265 F.Supp. 90 (E.D.La. 1967).
Although large size is not conclusive indetermining whether a;proport
-' club -is -a public accommodation, it.is'a strong,indicationof`publicaccommc
dation status because of its connection with the degree of control by
individual members, the associational interest of the members and the
qualifications for admission. -=The fact that there is a number limitation f`
may not indicate selectivity but rather restriction cost by fire regulatior
and the size of the facility. Olzman v. Lake Hills Swim Club, Inc.,'
' 495 F.2d,1333 (2 Cir. 1974). ;
CONTROL BY MEMBERSHIP
Another factor which courts use to determine whether a club isgenuine
is the control of members over the operation of the club. If the policy
decisions are made by 'a manager, owner or a- nucleus 'of members itis
probably not aprivate :.club. In U.S..-v..Jack'Sabin's Private Club, rsupra,;

TO: City Manager
City Council,
FROM: Richard J. Plastino'��
RE: Two-Person Refuse Cres
Public Works has been researching and evaluating the,
feasibility of two_-person
refuse crews for 'several months.
This investigation has been essentially orientated
productivity,
toward
although it will have an effect on<the
- budget. This
matter was planned for for to the"
Refuse Division at later time;`however,
- the <
urgency of
budget considerations made the presentation
-of this
matter feasible at this time. -
-Considerationsthat weigh in favor
are as :_follows: of two-person crews
1. Availableinformationon the subject-indicates
increased productivity
with smaller crews. The best:
_ -productivity is obtained from
'
a one pers.on.crev using
side-loading truck. -,=As the 'crew
a
size increases fr
this point, productivity. decreases. omSi
2• Safety showb
Office of Sos a similar pattern. Studies y-, the
lid .Waste Management
=Programs of the
Environmental Protection Agency have shown that
large
percentage of accidents a
occuoccurring during-'
collection are caused,
by the interaction.of:the
crew members. With
a two-member' crew,- the person work,
the back of the truck is
by not placed in--jeopardy
by the actions of a
example, the controlseonoIowafCityUse cslrefuse trucksIAs-an
are placed-on the
side of the truck. An;-individual
activating this-mechanism
cannot be placed in danger ..
as is possible with two people Working at
of the
the,'back
truck since only the person pressing
button can
-the.
actuate the mechanism.
3• Cedar Falls Iowa switched from three-person
crews to two-person
I crews„ four (4) years ago, and
has kept accident records related
to these crews.
There is no difference in accide nt":rates
