(The vote <br />was 4 to 1 for this motion). It was noted that they realize Otsego would remain with the <br />board for a six month period following the date of this letter as required by our Joint <br />Powers Agreement. <br /> <br />A list of concerns of Otsego's Council will be brou~t forth by Council Member Mark <br />Berning at the next Community Recreation Board Meeting. <br /> <br />The Council noted they liked the programs for children, but Otsego% amount for <br />Community Recreation has doubled since 1994. Livonia Township and Zimmerman are <br />no longer participating. The budget for 1998 Community Recreation Board has <br />increased 6% and our city is under a levy limit for 1998 and 1999. Otsego% resident <br />participation in Community Recreation has declined and Otsego's Comunity Recreation <br />Budget has increased. It was also noted that the "user pay" system is preferred. <br /> <br />Jeff, Otsego Mayor, Council and Staff wish to thank you and your staff for your support <br />and hard work. <br /> <br />Sincerely, <br /> <br />City Clerk/Zoning Administrator <br />eb <br /> <br /> <br />
