The Bulgarian school has agreed to the plan of dividing the land so that the Park District will pay $900,000 for the park land and the Bulgarian School will pay $1,400,000 for the building and the parking lot. The Bulgarians know the price is firm and they are waiting for the Village to get a Plat of Survey and Resubdivision completed to line up their financing. The financing is not expected to be a problem. The Bulgarian School has agreed to keep the daycare and preschool going. In terms of timing, the plan is to do the land swap with the Township on the same day that the Village sells the land to the Bulgarian School and the Park District. The Mayor has requested something in writing from the Park District to confirm their willingness to purchase the park land on the Chelmsford site for $900,000. The Bulgarian School has requested the first Right of Refusal should the Park District sell their parcel, just as the Park District will get the first right of refusal for the Bulgarian School parcel. Village staff has indicated that the existing Bulgarian pre-school is one of the best run in the Village. The consensus of the Board is for staff to prepare the necessary documents of the land acquisition and disposition. The meeting was adjourned at 6:42 p.m. L
