libertyville township meeting

Today was a good meeting, not too long but we accomplished something.

here is where pageants and politics can mix... the GLSA - Greater Libertyville Soccer Association came and presented what has been going on the past year with the land that we have leased to them. We have a large libertyville Township piece of property that is set up as soccer fields, and there are about 14 or more of them. It is a nice piece of property and this group has to maintain it.

There are a number of tournaments they are holding annually on their site so when I got home tonight I emailed them to see if they woudl be interested in having the Norther Suburbs queens be there to present awards at any of these events.

Back to the meeting... we are working on building a new food pantry on our property and today the discussion was about whether we should hire a general contractor or a Construction manager. After all the discussion we voted and decided to go with the construction manager. I chose this this method b/c with a general contractor you only see the general contractors bid but with the construction manager you see each of the subcontractors bids.

Kathleen O'Connor our Elected Supervisor is going to post the position of the Construction Manager so the architect we are using, who is also a construction manager, has to apply with any others who are interested. We can interview them and then make an educated decision.

The meeting went well overall.
