About 100 attended a Park Ad meeting where Pres Manone introduced Leslie Smith to answer public requests on finance management and a proposed parking lot. Smith said the board asked its accounting firm to prepare a budget with the treasurer and seeks a meeting with the Village Council to solve common problems. The parking lot plan was deferred after voices urged preserving the park as a recreation and beauty spot. a bond issue may be needed later to fund pool and building repairs. The review notes the park’s income averaging over $90,000 a year and questions the need for more funds while deterioration continues.
