Committee of the Whole

The Lemont Junior Women’s group gave a brief presentation to the Board on an interpretative park they would like to begin soliciting donations for. The group stated that it would likely be a multi-year project and would solicit donations for the construction. The Village would be asked to donate the land and also maintenance after the park is operational. The Mayor and the Board thought the project looked very promising but had concerns with long-term maintenance of the project, with the Village staff running fairly thin and with their other obligations. The Mayor mentioned that he would like the group to gain some support from the Lemont Park District, so as not to duplicate efforts. The rest of the Board concurred that the Park should see the project first; then the project can come to the Village for additional support. The group would be going in front of the Park Board at a future meeting. Discussion closed.
