March 22 Meeting: Paddle Hut Bids

The agenda and packet for the Glen Ellyn Park District March 22, 2011 meeting are online. This is a regular meeting.

The Board will review the bids for the paddle warming hut. It is not clear if President Hess intends for the Board is just review the bid documents or to also vote on approving the bid documents. Usually the Board reviews bids at a workshop meeting and then approves them at a regular meeting.

President Hess has not released the bid information to the Board or the public, so we will not have time to review the information prior to the meeting. At our last meeting the architect presented the warming hut plans to the Board, but President Hess did not allow the Board to see the plans or specifications before the meeting. After reviewing the documents I found that several things were missing from the plans and specifications including interior paint, card-swipe door locks, water and sewer lines and safety screening under the deck.

The Board will hold a public hearing and final vote on amending the 2010 Budget and Appropriations Ordinance. It is necessary to amend last year's budget because the 2010 budget was overspent by $500,000.

The Board will also consider changing the name of Churchill Park. Because Churchill Forest Preserve is just a few miles away from Churchill Park, there is often confusion about the two locations.

Glen Ellyn Park District board meetings are always open to the public and are held in the board room at the Spring Avenue Recreation Center at 7:00 p.m. Please join us!
