Honorable Mayor and Council Members,
I just wanted to thank you for supporting the recommendation of the Parks and Recreation
Commission and the Jack House Advisory Committee this evening. We did not arrive at this
recommendation without a great deal of thoughtful consideration over the past couple of years.
Another lens through which I personally considered this decision was based upon how Ken and
Martha Schwartz may have felt. Having been friends with Ken and Martha and a colleague of Ken for
over 50 years, it was important to me to consider their intentions.
Knowing that Ken was Mayor when the gift of the Jack House property was accepted and that both
Ken and Martha were dedicated volunteers at the Jack house for many years, I believe they would
have agreed that the Jack House Committee served its purpose extremely well for almost five
decades, but that under current circumstances, the proposed transition makes very good sense.
We on the Jack House Committee feel confident that the Jack House and Grounds, a unique and
special historic resource, will be well cared for, maintained and operated in a manner that will serve
our community for generations to come. It has been an honor to serve on this Committee.
Respectfully, . . . Chuck
Chair - Jack House Advisory Committee
