At the Annual Town Meeting on Tuesday, April 19, 2022, the following motion was made: Lynnette Phillips made a motion requesting that the Town Board review and amend the Friends of the Park contract to state that Friends of the Park is required to provide a monthly report to the Town of Delavan showing how much revenue is coming back to the Town from Waters Edge. This information should also be publicized on the town website to provide transparency. The motion was seconded by Supervisor Hartlaub. The motion carried 23-0. This report will be available at Town Hall.
