QUINCY, ILL. -- The Quincy Park Board wants to come up with answers as to future of several pieces of property it owns throughout the city.

So the park board has directed the district's staff to start looking into the feasibility of what it costs to maintain the Emerson Community Center, the Women's City Club, the log cabins on Quinsippi island, the antique auto museum and some property in South Park.

Executive Director Dan Gibble says the board wants to have a strategic plan for the district that covers the next three to five years.

"One of the things that I first noticed when I came to work here was that the Quincy Park District has a lot of great resources and assets. Amongst them those five areas that I mentioned before. And its our responsibility right now to manage those, but also be accountable to our taxpayers and so these are valuable questions that we need to be asking and answering," said Gibble.

Gibble said if they were to move out of the Emerson Community Center and either rent or lease space, that money would come out of the general revenue fund.

The capital expenditure budget pays for major repairs on park district property.
