LAND ACQUISITION
Mary Riordan informed the Village Board that after meeting with
representatives of the Chicago Bears during the past two weeks, it was the
opinion of the Village's Development Review Team that the Bears were not
prepared to submit an acceptable stadium proposal to the Village ache
present time, nor at any time in the near future. Riordan stated that the
Bears had insufficient information regarding several key development
issues, including traffic, parking, drainage, and financing. Riordan stated
that the Bears had recently hired development consultants to assist them in
preparing a submittal to the Village. However, it will be likely several
months before any further action is required of the Village.
It was the recommendation of the Village's Development Review
Team that the Village Board issue a press release at the July 28, 1998
Village Board meeting to state the following:
• Elk Grove Village has supplied the Chicago Bears with the
parameters which need to be met for the Village to consider a stadium
proposal;
• At this time the Bears have not submitted a proposal which meets the
Village's parameters; and
• The Village has decided to cease discussions with the Bears until such
time that they can meet the Village's parameters.
Upon further discussion, the consensus of the Village Board was to
have the Development Review Team prepare a Press Release for July 28,
1998 as recommended by the Village Attorney. A draft press release will be
provided to the Village Board for their review a minimum of 1 day in
advance of the July 28 Village Board meeting.
The Executive Session adjourned at 6:35 p.m.
