Additionally, under the terms of the settlement agreement, Mount Prospect will pay attorney fees and moving expenses up to $175,000. Sources stated that the resolution was reached despite Trustee Paul Hoefert's dissension, who said that the property was not worth as much as the village is paying. [DAILY HERALD: MT.
