At this time Mr. Roger Ulstad, Village Manager, spoke to the Park
and Recreation Commission about a new approach to the Park Bond
Issue. He mentioned that the Village had at this time a surplus
on hand, and he queried the Board as to their feelings on appro-
priating so much each year for the next three years. The three
year appropriations would equal what we now are asking to complete
our present Park plans. The Board was very much in favor of Mr.
Ulstad's idea. Mr. Ulstad suggested that a joint meeting between
the Park and Recreation Commission and the Village Council be held
Tuesday, February 12th, 1963. All Board members present agreed
wholeheartedly.

final cost figure for ten park areas was $230,140. Mr. Brenna
explained that with the completion of the ten park areas, three-
fourths of our Park system would be completed.
