COMMITTEE MEETING MINUTES
June 9, 2010
The Finance, Recreation, Service, Engineering and Gorman Farm Committee met at 6:00 pm on June 9, 2010 at the Gorman Heritage Farm. Present were Councilmembers Vonderhaar, Smiley Robertson, and Schaefer. Also in attendance during the meeting were Sandra Murphy, Susan Van Amerongen, and Pamela Meyers.
The purpose of the meeting was to begin the process of negotiating a renewal of the lease and contract between the Gorman Heritage Farm and the Village of Evendale.
The committee has been going through the contract paragraph by paragraph with farm representatives. The level of compensation discussions have been deferred until later. In pursuing that strategy, the participants have completed the process during the meeting. The next meeting will discuss the compensation level for the farm. Some issues that arose at the meeting included a proposal that a Farm Representative be added to the recreation commission and that the trails created through the farm at the request of the recreation commission be transferred to Village maintenance. Additionally, the Gorman Farm Board has adopted a new policy regarding the actual farming on the site/ It is attached
The next meeting is tentatively set for June 30, 2010 at 6:00pm at the James Gorman Interpretive Building.
The meeting adjourned at 8:15pm.
