Director
Illinois Department
of Natural Resources
One Natural Resources Way
Springfield, IL 62702-1271
The petitioner,
Residents of the Village
of Winthrop Harbor and all other interested stakeholders as represented
by the Mayor and Board of Trustees
Village of Winthrop
Harbor
830 Sheridan Road
Winthrop Harbor, IL 60096
847-872-3846
We, the undersigned,
hereby request that the Illinois Department of Natural Resources
develop and market a Request for Proposals for the privatization
of all of its property held within the Village of Winthrop Harbor
Municipal boundaries, commonly known as the North Point Marina
Complex.
Petitioners are
affected by the Illinois Department of Natural Resources not
privatizing the North Point Marina Complex because;
Though being fiscally
conservative and making difficult budgeting decisions has kept
Winthrop Harbor in the black during these challenging economic
times, we are starting to experience the effects of diminishing
revenue and a disproportional reliance on residential tax. Foreseeable
spending requirements for infrastructure upgrades to aging roads
and water lines, coupled with community stresses brought on by
the elimination of bussing in our local school district has caused
a number of people to ask-"What can we do?" We are
seeking a public/private partnership for the ownership and operation
of the North Point Marina Complex that will generate non-residential
tax revenues to help fund village and school services.
