2.0 PUBLIC COMMENT
Nancy Pavkovic, 219 Golf Terrace, said she is concerned with a proposed easement for a road through Canal Shores Golf Course. She noted the item was scheduled to be heard at a Metropolitan Water Reclamation District meeting last week but was withdrawn and is to be rescheduled to a future meeting. There are many groups and residents opposed to the proposed road.
Corporation Counsel Jeffrey Stein said the Village has already contacted the Metropolitan Water Reclamation District’s Corporation Counsel and has had numerous conversations regarding the issue over the past three to four months so the Village is actively monitoring the situation.
