September 18, 2012 Regular Meeting Highlights


Conduct of Public Hearing for the issuance of General Obligation Limited Tax Park Bonds
The Board of Commissioners held a public hearing for the issuance of non-referendum bonds.

Tree Survey
Staff presented the Board of Commissioners with a presentation of the Park District’s Emerald Ash Borer management plan. Staff has been reviewing the state of the Park District’s ash tree population with a goal of providing a viable option to treat a percentage to prevent the need to remove quality ash trees within the Park District. Those that will have to be removed will be replaced with a quality tree.

The Board of Commissioners will discuss further at the October 16 Board meeting and provide direction regarding the Emerald Ash Tree Boar management plan for the Park District. The plan will include treatment, removal and replacement.
