Trustees authorize attorney to explore lease of former recycling site for golf‑course storage, stress insurance protections
Summary
Staff reported a request from a golf‑course operator to lease the village's former recycling center for cart storage while nearby Culver's construction proceeds; trustees said a $1 lease and a first‑refusal clause were unacceptable and asked the village attorney to negotiate clear terms and liability protections.
Staff presented a request from the Blackstone Creek golf course operator and the property owner to lease the village's former recycling center site on a short‑term basis to store golf carts and provide parking while nearby development proceeds. The presenter said the request is temporary and aimed at allowing the course to continue operating once construction at the Culver's site begins.
Trustees objected to proposed terms that included a $1 annual lease and language granting the operator the first right on future development. One trustee said, "I don't like the dollar lease because it's not a benefit to the village," and another emphasized insurance: trustees want the operator to accept full liability so the village's insurance is not exposed. The board voted to have the village attorney explore and negotiate a lease with the HyMet Group and to return proposed terms to the committee for review.
