Feasibility Study for Soldier’s Field – Clerk-Treasurer Jansen was contacted by Paul Shafer from the AEDC to request that this goes
before the Committee. Mr. Shafer has been contacted by several interested parties about Soldier’s Field but all have been concerned
about whether the lot is buildable or not. Alderperson, Strohbusch; stated that he knew the AEDC had reached an agreement with a
party to conduct such a study at Bobber Park but to his knowledge nothing has been done with Soldier’s Field. Alderperson, Flanum;
stated that she believed it was in the best interest of the City to have a grasp on what could actually be done with Soldier’s Field.
