BROOKVIEW POOL AGREEMENT
In negotiating with Brookview for the purchase of same, the
days the Village could use the pool were put to three days a
week for eight weeks in the summer, when in actuality, the
need for the pool is five days a week for eight weeks. There
might be some sort of compromise available, in that Brookview
will let us have the pool five days if we will let them have
the Brookview Building for a few Saturday nights and New Years
Eve. After considerable discussion, both pro and con, it was
MOVED by Sullivan, seconded by Byrnes, unanimously carried to
recommend that John Brenna negotiate to the best of his ability
with the Brookview people so the Village can use the swimming
pool facility for our Summer Swimming Program.
