discuss intergovernmental agreements between the City,
the Des Plaines Park District and School District

dations were agreed upon at that meeting:

Des Plaines Park District to provide up to $800,000
toward a Senior Citizens wing in the new Park District
facility. This was a 3 - 0 vote.
2. The City should enter into an agreement with the
Television Cable Network to provide them with space
in City Hall in exchange for work and equipment in

District #207 so that they could continue their
Special Education Program. This was a 2 - 1 vote in

in Item #1 above.
2. The Television Cable Network agreement continue
as stated in Item #2 above.
3. The City extend the lease to School District #207
for an additional one year or September, 1991. This

construction time to complete the new Senior Citizens
facility as part of the Park District facility.
4. In September, 1991, the City will return the
property known as West School back to School District
#62. It will be the recommendation of the City that

residential development, but we have no say in their
future use of the property.

space for the Self Help Closet.

that attend the District #207 programs at West School.
