A line item for Van Emmon Park has now been created, because of the sale at$4,000.00. OLD BUSINESS: Dr. Engler had received our proposals regarding the agreement. He is working with the school lawyer and will get back to us when that is completed. The Edmeier group's proposal in a letter dated Dec. 13,1996 was to offer$200,000.00 in services pertaining to the golf course such as; City Golf outing at a reduced rate; league play for Recreation Dept. classes; and 9 hole passes for golf instruction classes. Art Prochaska stated that the Land Cash could not be used for such purposes, the expenditure needs to be material items that have a three year or more life expectancy. Sue is to respond to them with a letter thanking them for there interest, but not accepting the offer. At this time the Board didn't seem to be in favor of a waiver for the Edmeier Group. With more Parks being created and the agreement with the School Dist. there is a need for Land Cash.
