Council and Park District Meeting

 The joint meeting between the city council and park district proceeded amicably although without any resolution. The city wants to see a proposal from the park district. Of course, this means that the park district has to come up with a proposal, which it has been loath to do. Here is a more lengthy look at the disputes between the two entities. One of the big financial problems the park district has to deal with is Hickory Ridge Golf Course, which, last time I checked, had a huge amount of debt.  If the park district merges with the city, of course the city assumes that debt, which the city may not want to do. Hickory Ridge has been a financial problem for the park district for over a decade and is the primary reason for the shuttering of the park district's BMX track.
