Errors in the Economic Progress Alliance’s plan for Conneaut Lake Park’s future:

- The plan indicates the park’s water system has 250 customers. However, park records show only 119 customers are billed.

- One part of the plan attempts to account for many parcels of park land that were leased to private individuals for between 99 and 999 years. In two instances, the plan indicates land is leased but the park pays the property tax. However, maps attached to the plan indicate the land is not leased.

- In one instance the plan claims the park pays the property tax on a piece of leased property, but a map attached to the plan indicates the property tax is paid by the lessee.

- The plan claims the park has paid no property taxes since 1996. However, county records and park officials show that three partial payments have been made since then.

- Although it attempts to enumerate the park’s debts, the plan makes no mention of a judgment of $118,481.51 against the park from Summit Township that is on record in the county prothonotary’s office.

- The plan shows the bylaws of the Trustees of Conneaut Lake Park were adopted June 25, 2003, and the “initial” board of directors or trustees was appointed by the court. However, the original board was established in 1997.

- The plan’s existing facilities survey shows the Ferris wheel ride structure “is in good condition.” However, the park’s court-appointed overseer, LeRoy Stearns, said that ride needs repairs and will not be put into operation until those repairs are made.

Alliance Director Mark Turner said the information in the plan was compiled by others, and the Alliance put it together. Despite assurances that he would attempt to identify the discrepancies more than 10 days ago, he has not come forward with answers or responded to calls for comment.

What to watch for next:

- April 11, 7 p.m. — Summit Township Building, Harmonsburg. Summit Township supervisors to hold hearing on proposed ordinance change to allow 10 residential units (condominiums) per acre instead of current six. If approved, it would give Gregory Sutterlin the number he needs to make it economically feasible to purchase the property and give the park money it needs to open this season.

- April 17, 3 p.m. — Crawford County Court of Common Pleas Judge Anthony Vardaro to hold hearing at Crawford County Courthouse to consider request to approve sale of 3.3 acres to Sutterlin for $1.7 million. If the request is denied, there is no money to open the park.

- April 17, 7 p.m. — Summit Township supervisors to vote on whether to approve an amended zoning ordinance to allow 10 housing units per acre. If the approval is not granted, Sutterlin has said he will not proceed with the purchase.
