Mr. Chamberlain said there is a second issue to be concerned in reference to convention centers as to what it brings into the community. He asked the Village Board to please be wary of trade-offs. Mayor Welton answered that the Village of Gurnee is at this time only concerned with a proposed convention center and if it would be economically feasible. Trustee Ratfelders asked where the Village was in reference to any access to the Internet and if there is work being done for a point of access. Mr. Velkover answered that the Village has been approached about access to the Internet and is presently working with the Warren Newport Library, Warren Township High School, Gurnee Grade School system and the Woodland Grade School system.
Problems do exist.
The Village does have a pilot project with the Warren Newport Library being worked on and a report will be forthcoming to the Village Board as to its status in the near future. Trustee Ratfelders noted that it is important that the Village of Gurnee lead the way. Trustee Smith added that the Village, however, must analyze how much effort, time, and cost will be needed to maintain access to the Internet. The Village Administrator added that the Warren Newport Library and the Village can work together. The Village Administrator noted that this present meeting is the last meeting for 1995 and that the next Regular Meeting of the Gurnee Village Board will be on January 8, 1996.
