Trustees agree to consider a loosely worded endorsement for Greenway project; legal review and grant-letter process flagged
Summary
Trustees discussed a proposed resolution to endorse the Greenway concept in principle, not to commit parkland or construction; trustees said specific grant applications will require separate letters routed through the manager’s office and asked for legal review before formal endorsement.
Trustee Silver presented a resolution drafted to give a general endorsement of the Greenway project led by CFTE, emphasizing the board’s intent was not to commit village parkland or approve construction. “We're not really committing ourselves to anything other than saying that we are endorsing this project, and in good faith, we are supportive,” Silver said.
Other trustees agreed the resolution should be loosely worded to avoid dedicating parkland, and noted that specific grant applications will require more detailed approval through the manager’s office and likely separate letters tailored to each grant. One trustee asked that legal counsel review the draft language to ensure it did not unintentionally dedicate parkland or limit future actions.
Trustees agreed to place a resolution endorsing the concept on a future agenda for formal consideration; no vote was taken at the work session.
