Keith, Chairman of Village Park Commis- sion concerning mutual use of Recreational Facilities and Grounds Gentlemen: Please be advised that we are in receipt of the above noted letter; that I have been authorized on behalf of the Village to accept all agreements which you propose in your letter of May 2; that further, the Village agrees to permit the use of its facilities by any person residing within your School District; that discussion with your attorney, Everett Lewy, as of date hereof would indicate to me that our mutual exchange of letters is sufficient under these circumstances; and that a specific agreement is not needed. i However, if for any reason the School District prefers a more formal agreement, we will be happy to oblige by signing same. Sincerely, Village Attorney" Following are the points regarding the joint development and use of park and school land of Dr. Bardwell's letter to Trustee Keith of May 2, 1962 which letter was read by the Clerk: "The ownership of any equipment placed on a park site by the school district or on a school site by the park commission should remain in the technical ownership of the group purchasing and then placing the equipment. The maintenance of each facility should be under the supervision of the board that has title to that facility. Certain areas of certain parks would be placed under the control of school officials during school hours and for activities immediately after school. This would be worked out by mutual agreement. Use of play facilities on school grounds by residents would be limited to times when school was not in session. The Board of Education would also have use of certain park sites for the school' s summer program, again subject to mutual agreement. Specifications for equipment to be placed on park sites would be drawn up by the Park Commission." i Following discussion of the foregoing and of the difficulties which might be j encountered as a result of the Village corporate limits and the School District boundaries not being the same, the Board agreed that the letter prepared by I Attorney Hofert would be approved subject to its being amended to include a provision for a year to year renewal of the agreement.
