Old Business: George Cerar talked to the city attorney regarding the Hainsfurther wall on CNB field. The city doesn’t have a problem with the wall being up as long as we have a contract with Hainsfurther. However the city will NOT insure it. Discussion of re-installing a IHSA approved fence was suggested and Smith will have Duckels draw up a contract. Smith called Hainsfurther regarding this project. Hainsfurther said he can insure it for a premium of $300 a year which he will have on his homeowner’s insurance policy. He wants the CPD to pay for it.
