Medinah District 11 Board Passes Budget After Cuts
After nearly four hours of review the Medinah District 11 board approved a tentative 1969 70 budget amid objections from Louis Lombardi who questioned administrative provisions and the inclusion of anticipated warrants. The plan calls for a $559 573.42 education fund revenue and a $446 405.07 expenditure with a $7 000 base teacher salary and cuts in capital outlay and building funds. Lombardi warned of further reductions before the September 29 public hearing.

BBAA Seeks Waiver On Park Lights Fees At Meeting
Seek Free Lights representatives urged the Bensenville Park District to waive the $4 per evening fee for football field lights. BBAA president Will Davidson said the group cannot afford the charge and asked for cost reevaluation. Commissioners split on the proposal while discussing field improvements and a new park director's hire. The board announced land acquisitions on Poplar Street to create a playground area and welcomed Alan Randall as the new park director with a salary of $10,800.
