Hi All!

The following was sent to the city yesterday. Ms. Ellingson emailed that she agreed that the DuPage Forest Preserve should be included.

Subject: Case #1564 - 1000 Plainfield/Naperville Rd. & Ponds of Hobson West Parks

Gentlemen:

Thank you for your positive action about the possibility of the subject property becoming park land.

At the end of the discussion on this subject I had stood up at the foot of the aisle hoping that the Mayor would recognize me after he had invited Mr. Brestal to further address the Council.

If the mayor had recognized me I would have requested that the directive to the city staff include the DuPage Forest Preserve in the list of organizations to have meetings with.

I certainly hope that this can be arranged. I reference the article by Jennifer Golz (jgolz@scn1.com 630/416-5278) on page 5, Oct 18, 2006, Naperville Sun where the $68 million referendum on the NOV 7 ballot to acquire 500 acres of open space is discussed. Mr. Carl Schultz, Forest Preserve Commissioner ( cschultz@dupageforest.com ) has talked to a number of organizations drumming up support.

A final request, I would appreciate and invitation to attend any such meetings which are arranged.

Thank you again for your action.

Doug Dallmer
