Rochelle park board meeting

Rochelle park officials heard a presentation last night from Gredco dealing with additional money needed due to financial problems with the "Fairways" golf course.

Gredco is in their final year with the park district and the city to manage the facility. They are asking both the park district and the city for $50,000 each this year along with 2016 and 2017 to keep the golf course open.

If the park district and city approve the money, Gredco would pick up the final 2 years of their option to manage "Fairways" through 2017. They also said it would be easier to find someone to reopen the restaurant if Gredco is committed through 2017. No action was taken by park officials last night.

"Fairways" had 11,000 rounds last year. Doug Zuehl from Gredco said they need 20,000 rounds to make a profit.

The board also heard an update report on the YMCA proposal. The city has yet to make a decision if they will be involved with any money for the construction of the project. The park board last month committed 3 million dollars for the work. Park District Executive Director Eric Christensen said that the YMCA project is on hold for the present time.

The winners from the Consolidated Election last month were sworn in on the board. They included John Dobbs, Dale Wells, and Bud Norcross.

Election of officers was also held as Roger Bunger will remain President of the board for a 6th term. The Vice-President will be Bud Norcross while John Dobbs is the Treasurer and Michelle Pease the Secretary.

Richard Ohlinger, Mic Brooks, and Christa Seebach were also given plaques for their time and service to the Flagg-Rochelle Community Park District during their term on the board.

The board is still short 1 Commissioner's position. They hope to have that filled next month.
