COMMUNICATIONS AND PETITIONS, CITIZENS TO BE HEARD ASPEN PARK John Borelli, 1628 Oneida, stated that the Park District had recently installed a basket ball court in __ Aspen Park and that area is now attracting groups of people in the late hours and causing a problem in the . neighborhood. Mr. Borelli asked for additional police patrols in the area.

LIONS PARK John Kennedy asked that there be additional police patrols in the Lions Park area. Richard Hendricks, 1537 E. Emmerson Street, had the following comments: did not feel Commissions and/or Boards should make final decisions, reading from the Plan Commission minutes of August 5, 1992, where members of that Commission stated they did not support various Commissions of the Village having final decision authority; he asked when the Village Board, Plan Commission and Business Development and Redevelopment Commission would be discussing the development of the downtomrn triangle; he asked the Mayor to consider reinstituting the Committee system; and finally, Mr. Hendricks asked when the voting requirements would be discussed. Mayor Farley stated that discussions of these subjects will take place in the near future. The Mayor also stated that he did not support reinstituting the Committee system due to the fact that a presentation would be required before the specific Committee and that same presentation would have to be made before the entire Village Board which would not simplify but lengthen the process.
