the following statement for the record in the minutes COVETS
of this_meeting: STATEMENT FOR
THE RECORD ON
TMI am for development o~'a recreational facility on ST. CLARE
the St. Clare property as indicated by my vote in LEASE
favor of Resolution No. 40-74. This statement ex-
presses my objection to the procedures used in the
lease negotiation and Council approval:
1. The lease agreement obligates the Village
for 25 years and was not discussed at a
Council meeting.
2. The Village Council has not been provided with
the amount or schedule of funds required for
the Village to fulfill our obligation.
3. The Village Council had not seen a copy of the
final lease which we-were asked to approve.
4. The lease negotiation had advanced to a_poirit,
at the time the Council was asked to approve,
that the Council had the choice: to approve
(as we did) or to abandon devel'.opment of this
facility since the Archbishop had expressed that
he would not sign another__agreement.
5. I feel that the Council approved this program-
in ignorance, and I hope that Council diligence_
will prevenf a future occurrence of this nature."
There being no further business to come before the
Council, on motion of Councilman Heraty, seconded by
Councilman Slater, all present voting. aye, fhe meeting
was adjourned at 8:14 p.m.
