The Committee reviewed memorandum from Jackie Schweitzer,
Recreation Supervisor, recommending that now that the 15-acre parcel of parkland known as "Parkland Plaza" has a dedicated
access, the Parks & Recreation Board felt it possible to open up this land to others for agricultural use, and has recommended
that we put a notice in The Sun that we are accepting bids/quotes
for leasing out this land for one (1) year with a one (1) year
renewal option. The Board does not see any actual park development in that area in the next couple of years. It is the Parks and Recreation Board's intent to lease it for agricultural
(crops) purposes and that if the land is not used for active
cropping, that it be placed in a grassy cover crop that is acceptable to the Board. Ald. H. Sanders moved to recommend
leasing of the Parkland Plaza park land and the outlot of Woodcrest Estates and to advertise for both properties. Seconded by Ald. Hilt, motion carried.
