Libertyville Township meeting

Last night was our meeting. We covered various issues. Two bills were passed moving money frim one account to another. Stsandard budget adjustments.

We talked about rewriting our farm lease contracts to be more reflective of current land lease needs.

Our biggest issue was discussing tentative budgets for next year. Part of one of the budgets includes a trail relocation project originally estimated to cost 250k now costing about $430k. We have $230k coming in from forced land sale on milwaukee/21 expansion project, but still now we have to use that money for the trail relocation. We also found out our two bridges on that trail are not up to code and need to be redone, that is about $70k of the expense. Where past boards created the original trail now to be moved, they thought more frugally has ended up costing us more to fix. Hindsight is 20/20.

The tentative budget passed but terry, rick and even myself were hoping to find ways to bring the cost of the trail relocarion down.

I will not be at the two march meetings. One night daughter in play n second meeting I am out of town for a conference for my day job.
