8/2/73 Page Four He thought it would take about 5 years for the completion of the land acquisition. They have 1 million dollars now and need about IZ million more. The Board was concerned over the removal of lands from the market for that period of time, yet the owners would still be required to pay taxes on that land. They were also concerned about the appraisals. Would the appraisals done now be the ones used at the time of acquisition? Mr. Torkildson said, No, any appraisal over one year old cannot be used. The property must be reappraised. Mr. Zelinka asked if, after the boundaries are set, and an individual out- side this area wants to give his lands to the Open Space, can this be done? Mr. Torkildson said under the terms of the Resolution, the County would have to come back to the Council and acceptance of this land would have to be by mutual agreement between the County and the Village Council. Mrs. Leibel asked about the area blocked out at the intersection of County Road 14 and Interstate 35W. She was told this had been left that way for a future interchange to built by the Highway department as a possible entrance to the Open Space area. Mr. Marier suggested scheduling another meeting as soon as possible. Mr. McLean asked how soon Mr. Torkildson could have the revised copies of the Resolution. He said by Monday, Aug. 6, 1973. ivir. McLean suggested that as soon as this can be agreed on, the Committe would have a recommendation for the Council. Mr. Marier said the Council would have to act on the Resolution and the land use. The boundaries would then be set at a public hearing. Mr. Zelinka reported the Council had appointed a committee of 3 persons to check the pros and cons of municipal management of the golf course. TLis area is still very much in question. Mr. McLean asked how this would work. Mr. Zelinka said his understaning was that the County would acquire the golf course and lease it to the Village for $I.00 per year, the Village then operates the course. Mr. McLean requested the Board members to look over the minutes of previous meetings, study their notes and be prepared to make a recommendation to +he Council at the next meeting. Mr, Torkildson asked about 'Exhibit A' which is the map referred to in the Resolution, will the committee go back to the original boundaries? Mr. McLean said the Committee would recommend to the Council either their r:cceptance of the map and resolution or their rejection. The Council would make their decision on the Board's recommendation. Mr. Torkildson es!f,ed tnat he be notified of the Council meeting and be put on the agenda. The nextmeeting was scheduled for Aug,22, 1973. Mr. Marier moved to adjourn at 9:30 P.M. Seconded by Mr. Zelinka, Aye.
