Regular Council Meeting 4-19-99 Page 10 and our 1,000 residents--that is a lot of difference. It is not fair to tax people twice. He thinks the one million dollars from Progressive is an albatross. Mr. Busa said, let's not give the town to Progressive. Council President Marquardt explained that pursuant to the Village's agreement with Progressive, we will charge Progressive employees the same amount that we do our residents and they will charge our residents the same amount as Progressive employees to use the Fitness Center. If we don't charge the residents to use it, we will not be able to charge Progressive employees either. Mr. Busa said it is a bad agreement. We must stop. Dr. Parker said we approached that issue early on. When we approached Progressive, they said don't come back to us; that is what we agreed to. We must live by the terms of the agreement and see how it goes. Mr. Buckholtz asked if all the pools in the area charge the residents to use the pools. Mr. Thomas said he does not know of any Recreation Department or community in the United States that does not charge a user fee. Regarding non-residents, we are charging 100% more for them. Co.uncil President Marquardt said the Progressive issue is closed. We have the power to adjust the scheduling if we run into a problem but the agreement has been made. We are now voting on Ordinance 99-14.
