Park officials in Rochelle tabled a request last night from Gredco for $50,000 involving the operations at the Fairways Golf Course. The proposal was also given to city officials in Rochelle who have yet to make a final decision.
Park Board President Roger Bunger said that the commissioners are concerned about the future of the land.
Last month, Gredco officials told the board that they would pick up the final 2 years of their option to manage the Fairways Golf Course if the park district and the city each gave $50,000 this year and in 2016 and 2017. That proposal has changed said Bunger as Gredco has not committed anything after this year.
The city council may talk about this issue next Monday night.
