I attended the public meeting on September 19 to get a better understanding of what the $18 million bond sale entailed. Scott Crowe, Huntley Park District executive director, gave an informative and well-prepared presentation. I realize there are substantial costs in maintaining our parks and recreation centers to be safe, aesthetically appealing, and accessible. However, there are several items on this proposal that would fall under the “wish list” and not under the “necessity list.” Examples of the wish list would be golf entertainment, a dog park, and the purchase of open space. With the current economic climate, I do not feel it would be prudent to tackle a project of this proportion. My vote will be “no.” I would prefer this proposal would be considered in the future with a more practical and needs based approach.
