On Jan. 24, 1957, the Golder. Valley Park Board met in special session at 7:3C
at the Council Rooms in the Village Hall. Present were President Sheldon
Ostroot, Ray Stockman, Edwin Chapman, board members, and Robt. Corwine
landscape architect.
The minutes of the previous meeting were read and approved.
11r. Ostroot reported on his talk with Geo. Pennock, Chmn of the Planning
Commission and that Mr. Pennock would meet with this Board, and Mr.
Chapman reported that Mrs. John Enghauser, Chmn of the School Board, stated
she and her board were anxious to cooperate and meet with us, their Board
meetings being held the 2nd Monday of each month plus special meetings.
She stated the Supt also wantscooperation with the Park Bd and had talked
with Mr. Corwine about it. They felt that something should be done for
teenagers, also, and someday a swimming pool ought be provided. Some set
plan should be offered to the school, and discussion should cover both
capital contributions and maintenance of improvements at the school grounds
and the adjoining park property.
The Board continued to review Mr. Corwine's studies and revisions thereof.
It was considered that for presentation to the Council emphasis should
be on Acquisition as indicated by Mr. Corwine's report, and then upon
top priority improvements, especially at the new High School location,
Woodlawn and Schied areas. Other developments could come later although
they would require$ further bond issues or appropriate millage levies.
Mr. Pennock joined the meeting and the entire project was reviewed with
him. He pointed out some of the Planning Commission's problems and
felt our program would fit in with their planning and would doubtless
receive their approval. It was thereupon agreed to try to arrange
a meeting with the Village Council and the Planning Commission and the
Park Board, to cover the proposed plan for Park acquisition and 13pprovement.
Mr. Stockman would also seek to arrange for a meeting with the School
Board and the Park Board.
After discussion, it was concluded to present the Park Program and
perhaps submit the requirements in alternative proposals, one with
acquisition and high priority development, and the other for the
entire project covering all contemplated plans as submittbd by Mir.
Corwine. Estimated costs as presented by Mr. Corwine were studied
and would be included in the report to the Council, with further
study by Mr. Corwine in conjunction with the assessor and others in
getting values or appraisals put on the lander Witole for acquisition.
The meeting adjourned at 11 PM.
