#10.5.<\/strong> Discussion of the Future Direction of the Board of Parks and Recreation<\/a><\/span>
\n 
\nThe agenda item noted above (10.5) causes us great concern.  We at the Brownsburg Sentinel believe the upcoming Town Council meeting is newsworthy as a result. <\/p>\n

We felt compelled to notify you the public of the potential for dramatic change to our local government’s structure. A board established in 1959, which has served the community well for greater than 60+ years. <\/p>\n

This item is listed on the agenda as a discussion item, as a result no official action will be taken at THIS meeting.  However, for those who say “this is ONLY a discussion” a vote will never be taken please read on.<\/p>\n

Please click on the picture below for a 19 page legal feasibility document requested by the Town of Brownsburg in May 7th 2020.  The document contains details regarding the following:<\/p>\n

* – Authority of the Town Council to dissolve the Board of Parks and Recreation<\/div>\n
* – Statutorily Required Process and Timeline to Dissolve the Park<\/div>\n
 <\/div>\n

(2021\/06\/22)  In a post in social media  – Town Councilman Brian Jessen said the following ” But I know that the two other governing bodies who have a seat on our Park Board (being the School Corp and the Library Board) have not been consulted about this discussion. No, the Council does not need their permission to dissolve the Park Board. But not telling them\/keeping them in the dark is very underhanded. Council members wonder why the Council itself isn’t trusted. “<\/em><\/p>\n
