Trustee Dale Graham notes possible eminent domain action as the village weighs solutions to a longstanding property issue. Dubruiel cites court action, a potential buyer for Left Bank property, and plans to inventory vacant parcels with code violations. The anti gang program, tied to Rich Township School District 227 and others, would use schools and police to deter youth from gangs, with Olympia Fields showing support but Park Forest undecided.
