The Porter County
Parks and Recreation Board will meet for its regular monthly meeting on
Thursday at 6 p.m. in Room 205 of the County Administration Building, 155
Indiana Ave.
On the agenda,
Parks Superintendent Walter Lenckos and Board Attorney David Hollenbeck will
present a memorandum of understanding for the board to consider regarding
the use of property owned by the Kankakee Valley Historical Society.
Lenckos said the
MOU lists duties that the parks department will agree to perform to assist
the society, such as helping out at festivals. In exchange, the parks will
gradually be able to access approximately 150 acres of property on the north
bank of the Kankakee River near Baums Bridge Rd. and CR 1050S in Pleasant
Twp.
The board will also
recognize retired park board member Ruth Jarnecke for her years of service
to the parks department.
There will be a
staff report from Lenckos as well as reports from various committees, the
Northern Indiana Historical Power Association and the Porter County Parks
Foundation.
