AN ORDINANCE CALLING A SPECIAL ELECTION TO BE HELD IN AND FOR
THE VILLAGE OF OAK BROOK, DU PAGE AND COOK COUNTIES, ILLINOIS,
ON TUESDAY, THE 21ST DAY OF JUNE, 1977
WHEREAS, it is deemed advisable and necessary and in and for the best
interests of the Village of Oak Brook, Du Page and Cook Counties, Illinois
(hereinafter referred to as the "Village"), that the property consisting of ap-
proximately 269 net acres generally bounded by Cermak Road on the North, York
Road on the East, Oak Brook Road on the South, and the center line of Salt Creek
on the West, exclusive of the property commonly referred to as the Butler National
Golf Course, otherwise and commonly referred to as the Butler International
Sports Core, and all existing improvements thereon and appurtenances thereto
(hereinafter referred to as the "Properties and Improvements"), be purchased by
the Village to provide for natural open space, sports and recreational facilities,
and flood control and storm water management facilities for the Village, and
WHEREAS, it has heretofore been estimated by the President and Board
of Trustees of the Village that it will cost not more than NINE MILLION FOUR
HUNDRED TWENTY THOUSAND DOLLARS ($9, 420, 000) to purchase the Prop-
erties and Improvements; and
WHEREAS, the President and Board of Trustees of the Village and its
agents and employees have negotiated the terms of a purchase agreement whereby
the parties thereto would agree to sell and purchase in accordance with its
stated terms and provisions the Properties and Improvements for a price not to
exceed NINE MILLION FOUR HUNDRED TWENTY THOUSAND DOLLARS
($9, 420, 000), subject, however, to approval of the electors of the Village voting
at an election as hereinafter provided; and
I,
WHEREAS, the President and Board of Trustees of the Village have
considered and deem it advisable and in and for the best interest of the Village
that should the Properties and Improvements be purchased as herein described,
that portion of the Properties and Improvements commonly referred to as the
Executive Golf Course, presently consisting of a nine-hole golf course, be
expanded, redeveloped, and improved to an 18-hole, not less than 6, 000-yard,
regulation golf course (hereinafter referred to as the "Executive Course Re-
development"); and
WHEREAS, it has heretofore been estimated that the Executive Course
Redevelopment would cost not less than SEVEN HUNDRED THOUSAND DOLLARS
($700, 000) to complete; and
WHEREAS, sufficient funds are not available to enable the Village to
(i) purchase the Properties and Improvements for natural open space, sports
and recreational facilities, and flood control and storm water management
facilities and (ii) undertake the expansion and redevelopment of the Executive
Golf Course, as hereinbefore described, and it shall therefore be necessary for
the Village to borrow money and in evidence thereof issue bonds of the Village for
the purpose of paying the cost thereof; and
WHEREAS, before bonds of the Village can be issued for such purposes
the question of issuing such bonds must be submitted to the electors of the
Village and be approved by a majority of the electors voting on said question
at an election called and held for that purpose.
