LAND ACQUISITION
The Village President passed out a draft letter to be sent to all
residents informing them of the current status of the Chicago Bears stadium
development. The Village President explained that the purpose of the letter
was to provide accurate information to each household in Elk Grove and to
prevent rumors from occurring. Johnson stated that the letter would cost
between $3,200 and $3,400 and could be mailed within 7 days of approval
by the Village Board.
The Village Board discussed the draft letter and made changes,
including the following:
• replace "negotiating team" with "development review team"
• remove reference to the creation of a local citizen committee;
• have the letter sent from the entire Village Board
• repositioned several sentences; and
• asked the Village Manager and Village Attorney to remove redundant
items.
The meeting adjourned at 7:05 p.m. for the Committee of the Whole
meeting and reconvened at 10:20 p.m., following the Village Board
meeting.
The Village Attorney informed the Village Board that he and special
counsel Mary Riordan had scheduled a series of meetings with the Bears for
June 24. The purpose of the meetings was to ascertain the status of the
Bears proposal and to discuss developmental issues, including property and
income taxes, traffic and neighborhood impacts.
Upon discussion, the consensus of the Village Board was as follows:
• to have staff make the requested changes to the draft letter to
residents;
• to provide copies of the revised letter to the Village Board on
Friday, June 26 for their review; and
• to prepare the letter for mailing subject to input from the
Village Board by Tuesday, June 30, 1998; and
• to no longer drive the process. The Bears need to get up to the
level of understanding of our development team as well as
retain someone to coordinate their efforts, including accurate
pro formas and construction costs.
The meeting adjourned at 10:44 p.m.
