The subheading should be: "The property purchased approved by (then) village attorney Dexter Lehtinen."
The current mayor and village council really appear to love drama. Drama and distraction. I suggest that their time would be better spent working on important issues such as the 87th Avenue Bridge and budget issues. But hey, those are losing issues. So why not distract with internally created distractions created out of thin air; irrespective of the facts contained in materials that are posted on the Village's own website? Facts are facts and here are some facts presented here:
The following factual response was posted by former manager (and long time Village resident) Ed Silva:
This Council continues to refer to the appraisal done by a private resident to claim that we didn't get the correct amount of land in the downtown area. I'm providing a copy of an appraisal with the letter of authorization in which the appraisal company has been directed to only appraise the .98 acres of land. Look closely at the document and you shall see that the appraisal authorization letter clearly states that this subject property is a part of a larger 2.27 acre site. Ironically the appraised value for just the .98 acres was $2,050,000. There was no instructions to provide a value for the bigger right of way parcel. Now again ask yourself why having these documents the Council has elected to question the integrity of the Village Attorney and Village Manager who both are no longer associated with the Village? Seems a bit vindictive doesn't it?
Here is a copy of part of that appraisal:
Please watch the Video posted below where the Hon. Dexter Lehtinen explains the facts relating to this purchase. Please take note that this village council knows better than to attack Mr. Lehtinen in regards to the purchase.
