IV. VILLAGE HALL/SENIOR CENTER DISCUSSION
The Special Committee of the Whole meeting for this evening is the second of three
scheduled meetings to discuss the future of the Village Hall and Senior Center. The meetings
are scheduled over several weeks in an effort to afford ample opportunity to the Village
Board to gather community input regarding an appropriate course of action. The final meeting
on August 8 is a Committee of the Whole that will include not only the Village Hall discussion,
but also the six-month budget review and 2001 Budget preview.
Background materials were previously distributed to Board members and will again be
available to residents attending the meeting.
The Village Hall Ad Hoc Committee has previously provided a report to the Village Board and
a summary of the Committee's recommendations are included for informational purposes.
One of the recommendations of the Ad Hoc Committee was the proposed solution for
parking at a new Village Hall site. Much of the discussion focused on the use of underground
parking and maximizing green space. Previous Village staff reports projected the possibility
of a parking structure to be incorporated with a new Village Hall and existing public library
parking. Additional background information is provided regarding possible parking options
for the proposed site.

any other points the Village Board feels are important so that any decisions made can be
costed out and included in the 2001 budget, as necessary. If a decision is made to move
forward design options and space study decisions will need attention in the latter part of
August and into September.
A notice of this meeting and the proposed meetings on August 1 and 8 has been posted at

committee has also been sent out regarding the proposed meetings. Appropriate Village staff
