M]/I~BSOTA BAPTIST B,qSEMBLY PARK AESF21qMENT HEARING
The engineer outlined the project. Del Erickson wanted to know how many units he was
assessed for. The answer was one unit. Bud Skoglund objected saying he felt he was
out of the assessment district ~nd h~d paid an assessment on the Cook~s Bay park years
ago. The englncer explained that he was in the assessment district and as far as the
village could ascertain there had not been another assessment in that area for parks;
he was invited to bring in a receipt to prove his point. Mrs Nate ~ellman said there
had not been~an assessment as the Cook's Bay Park had been donated to the village by
the Chapman family. Mrs Skoglund said the playgmuund equipment should be carefully
choosen as she worked at a school and there had been cases of broken bones from the
play§ound equipment at her school. Alan Greene spoke favorably about the park. No
other citizens wished to speak for or against the assessment.

the vacation of Kells Lan% he stated the lane was being used as lake access. Henry
Fry stated that Kells Lane is not being used as lake access but the property Blumberg
wants to build on is being used for lake access. Mr. Donald Dressel objected to the
vacation. Karl Herrmann stated he had owned this property for 30 years and had paid
taxes on it for that long and felt this was the time to sell it and he was in favor of
the vacation of Kells Lane as the best use of the land. Del Erickson said once'a
lake access is given away it is very hard to get back and that they had lost one in
'his neighborhood that would be of great value t~ him and his neighbors if it had not
be vacated. Ken Plant of the Park Commission expressed disappointment that the
matter had not been sttbmitted to the Park Commission for review and requested that
any other such lake access vacation requests be submitted to the Park Commission.
