Open Space: By agreement, Update on Process was taken ahead of Bond Issuance on the agenda.

Update on Process: Ed Malek gave a presentation on where the Open Space Committee is at. They meet Monday nights at Garfield Farm to establish goals, a plan, identify parcels, a rating system for parcels, multiply funding, identify staffing needs, and develop a management policy. Jack Shuba, a botanist, will look at flora and fauna at sites. They are making a job description for a manager. For a Director we begin with Julia. They are making a Conflict of Interest/Loyalty Oath for committee members to take so that they don’t use information gained for other purposes. The energy is great. Neal Anderson stated we have a letter from the law offices of Chapman and Cutler stating the Open Space Referendum election is certified and is ok. Julia Glass distributed a packet of information. Both Dave Phillips and Bill Morris have been e-mailing information to her. Bill Davis, Director of The Land Conservation Foundation, then gave a presentation on how his organization could negotiate land purchases for us. They have done this in Will, Kane, Kendall, and LaSalle counties. It is easier to develop good relations if you are not part of the government - not part of the Forest Preserve, for example, if you are negotiating for land for the Forest Preserve. Give them a life estate if they want to stay. How you deal with each property owner really gets around the community. You need a "get you in the door" person.

Bond Issuance & Proceed Expenditure Policy Issues: Bill Morris stated they need direction from the Board. The question is whether we split this into two pieces? If two pieces, we sell both this year, and close on the second next year. There are two issues. With the first piece of money we buy land. The second piece of money we invest. The second one protects us for arbitrage. The ideal situation is to have the 18 million spent in the first three years. We save one quarter million by splitting it in two. We don’t make a decision on the second issue until November depending on whether we are buying land. Both Bill and Dave agree we do ten million now, and be geared to revisit the second piece in October or November, depending on how the Committee is buying land then. We close on the second piece sometime next year. Bill and Dave’s fees are the same whether its one or two issues. The longer most expensive issue is the one we want to lock in tonight. Bill Morris and Dave Phillips joint recommendation is that we split this into two deals, and then do investments as aggressively as possible. K. Judy made a motion that the Board direct the Financial Advisor and Underwriter to put the documents together for a split bond sale and have them ready for the August meeting. The motion was seconded by J. Kupar. K. Judy then offered an amendment to the motion that stated the documents be prepared with bank qualified sales advantage.
