todayMay 9, 2015

The Fond du lac city council is considering a proposal that would allow Winnebago Lutheran Academy to lease a portion of a city park for school athletic fields.  Under terms of the proposed 50 year lease WLA  would pay for  construction of  three athletic fields and a parking lot at McDermott Park.  WLA would have first occupancy and use rights to the fields from September through May.  The city’s recreation department and public would be able to  use the fields during the summer.  Any concession facilities would be open to the general public. The city would be responsible for mowing the grass, with WLA responsible for the remaining upkeep and maintenance of the athletic fields and parking lot.  WLA will make a presentation at next week’s council meeting.
