I. COMMENTS BY PUBLIC
Mr. Michael Brenczewski addressed the Committee regarding the approved purchase of .038 acres at Riverview Farmstead. As the discussion proceeded, Mr. Brenczewski indicted that he is considering legal action because he will no longer be able to use the property for hunting once the Forest Preserve assumes ownership.
