Capital Expenditures Discussed at Board Retreat

The Glen Ellyn Park District Board held its annual Retreat on Saturday, August 29. The main issue for discussion was the plan for future capital expenditures. Staff explained that we will be working with a very limited budget for capitals in the next three years.

The Board only discussed expenditures listed in the 2010 column in the Proposed Future Expenditures document in the packet. The Board prioritized possible capital expenditures and staff indicated which expenditures were their highest priorities. Staff will compile this list and bring it back to the Board as part of our budget planning process, which will occur during the October and November board meetings. The Board will be faced with some very difficult decisions during these meetings as we determine how to deal with limited funding.
