More on Possible 99-Year Lease Options to be Brought up At June 7 Vandalia Council Meeting

It has taken almost a handful of years several years of discussions and meetings between the City of Vandalia and a committee and residents of Vandalia Lake, but an agreement laying out options for the 99-year lake lease issue could see action by the Vandalia City Council at their first meeting of June. During Monday night’s Vandalia City Council meeting, the council went into can executive session for about 20 minutes to discuss the topic and after exiting that closed session, the attorney hired by the city to look at the lake lease issue, Matt Hortenstine, talked about options and alternatives that had been agreed upon between the two entities. After Hortenstine laid out the three options, lake resident Mike Wolff who was present along with two other lake residents at the meeting and was a part of the committee representing the residents of the lake area working towards an agreement. Wolff took time to clarify what a potential agreement on the options presented would mean for those lot owners who had already purchased the city’s interest in their lots.

And Wolff says he feels the point they have reached with the options or alternatives reached that will be put before the council in June are a win for everyone involved.
