Mt. Prospect Park District

June 21, 1955
Board of Trustees,
Mt. Prospect, Illinois
Gentlemen:
As requested at a meeting of representatives of the Board of
Trustees and the Mt. Prospect Park District Commissioners, June
18, 1955, the Mt. Prospect Park District Commissioners request
transfer o~ all deeds to Mt. Prospect park properties now held by
the Village with the exception of boulevard-type parks and street
lnte~section triangles.
Since the Village has levied and received tax monies for
support of these parks for the current fiscal year and the park
e'.""'~~.''''.l
22
district will not have such funds available until on or about July
1, 1956, it is requested that consideration be given to conveying
the properties at an early date, but providing maintenance until
July 1, 1956.
If this is not considered to be feasible it is requested that
the village board pass a resolution as soon as possible agreeing
to convey the properties or any one of them at such time as the
park district is able to assume maintenance. In making this request
it is our thought that we might wish to propose major improvements
at one of the parks and would be enabled to assume full responsibility
for this park at the time the improvement is submitted to the public.
Such a resolution would clear the way and would be an indication to
the public of the close cooperation that exists between the village
board and the park e1strict.
It is understood that the park district commissioners will
meet with representatives of the Mt. Prospect Lions' Club regarding
transfer of the deed to Lions' Park and vTill report resul ts of th)~s
conference to the village board.
The cooperation of the Trustees and the good will shown in this
matter are appreciated.
Sincerely yours,
Mt. Prospect Park District
Cowl'li ssioners,
Charles W. Payne, President
