Number of pages attached: 1 Date(s) of review for release: October 2017 Date of approval for release: Date of approval by Village Board: April 25, 2017 March 14, 2017 5:59 p.m. ~" Land Acquisition The Board discussed the Park District's desire to pay less than the appraised value for the land on Chelmsford. The Park District Board does not envision a future use for the building and wants to pay as if the land is vacant. The Village Board has committed to trying to keep a daycare open on that site, at least initially, and has been considering selling the park land to the Park District and the daycare to a Bulgarian school who would work with the Township to operate a daycare. Another option would be to sell the entire property to the Bulgarian school, or to sell the property to a developer of single-family homes. The Park District has referred to an earlier staff estimate for the value of the Chelmsford property, but this was not a formal appraisal and is not binding. The Park District plans to call for a special meeting to make a decision on this matter. The Park District believes they have the ability to condemn the land for their use if the Village sells to another user. The Village Attorney is looking into this. The meeting was adjourned at 6:23 p.m.
