Staff presented the Board of Commissioners with a progress report for the archiving/history project, which began in late 2011 and continues in 2012. The project has an emphasis in three specific areas:

1. The establishment of the Glen Ellyn Park District archives 
2.  Digitization of the Park District documents, while creating a storage system for the documents 
3.  The development of a history website to display materials, documents, and photographs of the Glen Ellyn Park District history.

• Removal of Section 6.00 “Park Police Policy.” PDRMA requests the removal of this policy since the Park District no longer staff’s police officers. 
• Addition of a fall protection policy and an ergonomics policy.
• The communicable disease, hazard communication, and crises management policies are being updated per PDRMA’s request.
