HAMPSHIRE PARK ACQUISITION
Mr Brenna reviewed the situation dealing with Lots 1 & 2, Block 2,
and Lots 1 & 2, Block 3, Hampshire Oaks Fourth Addition. The owners
of said lots have refused our appraised figure. The owners stated
that they would not pay the current years taxes and assessments in
light of our figure. There remains three courses of action:
1. Condemnation Proceedings
2. Agree to aners' request (appraised price plus the 1966 taxes
and special assessments)
3. Drop the matter.
After considerable discussion Dr Petersen moved that in view of
the unwillingness of the owners of Lots 1 & 2, Block 2, and Lots 1
& 2, Block 3, Hampshire Oaks Fourth Addition, to agree on our
appraised,figure, the Golden Valley Park & Recreation Commission
recommends that the Village initiate condemnation pr,oc,eedings
against said property. The motion was seconded by John Byrnes
and carried unanimously.

At this time Mr Brenna brought forth a brief report regarding the
Brookview Golf Coarse situation. A copy of the Golf Study was
