is a problem in determining the value of the property.
Attorney Baker stated that it is in the best interest of his client to get the
preliminary plat approved and there is no reason to delay.
Attorney Meyers retorted that if the Recreation Commission wants land it may make
a decision which will affect the preparation of the final plat. He said that after
the Recreation Commission meets, if they want cash, that steps be taken to hire an
appraiser immediately. Mr. Edes agreed to make a cash contribution, but he would
like to negotiate the figure. He still wants preliminary plat approval. He felt
it would be a good development for the Village. He said the court reporter was
here tonight to insure that he be treated reasonably.
Mayor Neisen asked if any of the Council wanted to rescind the previous motion.
There was no response. Attorney Baker asked if the Council would approve the
preliminary plat if the Recreation Commission wanted a cash dedication.
All Councilmen with the exception of Councilman Johnson responded that they saw
no problems with the plat.
Councilman Johnson would not take a position at this time.
The Regular Meeting resumed at 10:32 P.M.
