DISCUSSION OF BROOKVIEW GOLF COURSE
Mr. Ulstad, our Village Manager, informed the Park and Recreation
Commission of the Village Council's request for a member or
members of the Park and Recreation Commission to serve on a
committee that would investigate the feasibility of acquiring
the Brookview Golf Course, as a municipal function.
It was moved by John Sullivan, seconded by Dan Oukrop, to
appoint Gene Roelke and Stan Anderson to serve on the
investigating committee. The motion carried unanimously.
PARK DEDICATION LAW
Mr. Brenna presented the statics of the New Park Dedication Law
and related happenings of previous meetings with the Plat
Committee of the Planning Commission and the Planning Commission
proper.
Mr. Brenna stated the Plat Committee favored the New Dedication
Law in theory and in principle, but the Planning Commission,
proper, did not.
In light of the Planning Commission's stand, we are left with
the following alternatives.
1. Proceed to the Village Council without the favor of the
Planning Commission, and present our case in behalf of
the Park Dedication.
2. Consider a one mill levy for acquisition.
3. Consider a bond issue again in the future.
Gene Roelke stated we should proceed with the Park Dedication,
but first consult our Village Attorney, asking for his opinion
regarding the risk in possible Law Suits.
