Public Comment:
Alderman Bob Allen brought forward a parks naming application for the consideration of Fox Hill
West Park for the suggested name of Bretthauer Park. He said that there was quite a bit of
history behind the Bretthauer family so he thought Larry Bretthauer's name would be more
appropriate because he lives in the city. Mr. Allen also said that Mr. Bretthauer was a former fire
chief, very active in forest conservation activities, sponsored 4H groups, and they were the only
grocery store in town for many years.
Chris Rollin's thanked Alderman Allen for the application and said the Board would consider his
application.
Presentations:
None

Old Business:
Hoover Intergovernmental Agreement— Update
Bart Olson reported that the City had voted on the Forest Preserve District's offer for termination
of the intergovernmental agreement for use of the Hoover Forest Preserve. No terms of the offer
were changed during the City Council meeting.
Bart said they were waiting for the check from Jason Pettit.
Athletic Field Policy Revision*
Bart Olson said that the major changes in the revision had been in practice however the policy
had not been voted on. He noted this would come back in a month when they do a
comprehensive revision of the ordinance; he noted they would be changing the fees as they do
every year.
Bart said there were two major changes.
1. The refund notice.
a. Persons would be required to give more advanced notice for a refund.
2. New soccer field prep fees.
Vickie Coveny wanted to know if they should have some kind of medical support on hand during
some of the larger events. Sue Swithin said that was a very good question and said that at
some of the larger events Police did have to be present. The board agreed that it would be a
good idea to have some type of medical support at their larger events.
Sue said by state law they would need a defibrillator at Bridge and or Beecher Park. She is
hoping they could get one donated to them.
Bart said he would look into medical and security for the next round of revisions on the policy.
Sue suggested that they look at what, for example, Fox Valley does. Rollins said we do not want
to require something no one else requires or else people would not use our facilities.
Chris Rollins asked for a recommendation of the approval as submitted. Bart said the changes
would be then taken to the City Council. The board gave their unanimous consent on the
changes submitted.
REC Center Maintenance-- Update
Bart Olson reported that he and Sue Swithin met with Ron Walker to discuss the roof repairs.
Bart said the roof repairs were scheduled for tomorrow.
Bart also noted that the fire department's punch list were mostly the City's responsibility. He
said they were minor things such as: name plates over the doors, posting fire evacuation plans
in specific areas, replacing a light bulb on an exit sign and replacing ceiling tiles. Ron's duties
included (but not limited to)testing the sprinkler and back flow system and replacing sprinkler
heads.
Bart noted that the Fire Department notices were due May 8, 2009.
2
Bart also noted the documents Sue put together. Sue passed out a building footprint which
showed all the building leaks along with pictures. She said she was planning on giving it to the
contractors when they came out to do roof repairs.
Sue noted that she was documenting, on a spreadsheet, detailing what operations were being
affected by the leaks.
Sue said she would also be submitting to Ron, a cost on what she had exhausted in 2x4'
panels.
New Business:
Haehner Annexation
Bart Olson said the City would put together an annexation agreement for this property. He said
this was a basic first level annexation agreement. They were not asking for much in the way of
entitlements, Bart said, other than the unit count and zoning. He said they are not looking to
subdivide the property. They are going to have to come back to the City Council when they do
decide to develop the property at which point , Bart said, we could look at land plans and figure
out where we would want parks and how big they should be or if we want cash.
Bart had concerns over the land-cash fees which he outlined in his memo. He said that they
waived the obligation for land-cash fees consideration until the land subdivided. He wanted to
make sure that their rights were protected so they could decide where the parks were going to
be located.
Chris Rollins said the only catch to picking it for a park would have to be wary of how drainage
is run, how it is to be subdivide, and it would be nice to preserve the trees and to get adjacency
to neighboring properties. As of right now there are no neighboring properties.
Bart said that it would be on for a public hearing on May 14'x' and then they should find out if the
property owner came to the city or if the city went to the property owner for the annexation.
Rollins wanted to know the size of the area. Olson reported it was 111 acres.
Rollins asked for a general recommendation to craft a park so as to preserve trees and the
natural features of the creek; he asked if anyone had anything they wanted to consider.
Kelly Sedgwick said that we should highlight the areas we were interested in. He said that until
they found out how they planned on developing the space or else it would be hard to make any
decisions.
(Revision) Fox Hill West Park Naming Application*
Ken Koch asked if someone from the family could come in and represent Larry Bretthauer since
he was not able to due to his health.
Laura Haake suggested that Alderman Allen get more information on how long Larry Bretthauer
was a firefighter, where his store was, pictures of the store, etc. She said it would help her out
with the biography that she would publish in the Master Plan for the Parks and Recreation. She
said she would like to put in as much information as she could.
3
Alderman Allen stated that Larry Bretthauer was on the fire department from 1966-1987, he was
captain from 1975-1984 and was chief from 1984-1987.
Vickie Coveny also wanted more history on Larry Bretthauer's business. She felt as a fire chief
he could be recognized under another park category such as the Fire Department Park.
Ken Koch said that he too would like to know more about the family. Kelly Sedgwick wanted to
know what the other family members had contributed to the community as well.
The Board's unanimous agreed they needed more information on the business and what he
contributed to the City.
Alderman Allen expressed his concern over the unclear Parks Naming Policy. He said it was not
clear on what needed to accompany the application. Rollins agreed that the policy was not well
defined. He did note that it is a high honor to have a park named after someone. He said that
we should set a high standard, and it is worth a good effort on why we should name a park after
someone.
Rollins noted that the policy had been used but it had not really been in use. The Board agreed
that they would define the Parks Naming Policy. In the mean time they encouraged Alderman
Allen to come forward with more information on the Larry Bretthauer and his family and what the
Bretthaure's had contributed to the community. They would like to have someone come in and
represent Larry and or letters of recommendation from his family members.
The Board also agreed that they needed to make sure they had permission from person or
families being recommended for park names.
Rollins thanked Alderman Allen for taking the initiative in coming forward with park naming
applications.
Res-
Director Report
1. Bart Olson said that the 09/10 budget report was approved in the City Council April 140,
meeting.
2. Bart noted that future agenda items for Park Board were listed on a spreadsheet and
passed out. He said he was taking suggested agenda topics and asked for questions.
He said he would update it every week and send it out before the agenda went out.
He reminded the Board that anyone could recommend an agenda item at any time. He
said they were putting out the agendas the Friday before the meeting. Also once
something is on a posted agenda, he said, you never want to take it off until the meeting.
That way there was record that it was tabled in case a resident reads it on the website
and they show up at the meeting and it was not talked about.
3. Bart also noted that the Community Relations Officer Spies has offered to assist the
Parks and Recreation Department with press releases, ads, and future stories. He said
the goal is to have a feature story on a Parks and Recreation class, event, or promotion
every month.
4
Recreation Report
Bart Olson said that Scott was moving ahead with usual spring activity and encouraged the
Board to read Scott's report at their leisure.
Parks Report
Sue Swithin reported that they had 130 runners participate in the 5K Tax Dodge Run. She
noted this was the first time success.
Sue noted the golf outing would be next Friday May I".
Additional Business:
1. Chris Rollins noted the letter to the editor was from by a poorly informed man who
thought the Hoover deal fell through was because we insisted on lit ball fields out there.
The writer thought that it was inappropriate because he felt we were going to pollute the
night sky. The Board felt that they should have a press release with the facts put out for
citizens. They noted in the last two years they have had only a few reporters attend the
Park Board meetings.
Vickie Coveny shared with the Board her letter to the editor, Proud of land agreement
between Yorkville, County.
2. Chris Rollins wanted to know if the City owned any historical sites such as an old church
or post office. Rollins noted that per he had heard thanks to our new Governor, Pat
Quinn, there might be a new cycle of grants coming out. He said Quinn has been eager
to reopen state historical sites that have closed. Part of what he is proposing to do to
reopen them is to have reorganization of HPA, which use to be closely tied to the state
museum. He said that that they were going to merge with lands. He said that where
these grants would come into play for the city is that any historical features city owned or
controlled could be in a position to receive grant money from the state to maintain them
as historic sites. He said the only criteria are going to be is that it has to be open to the
public and it has to be government entity or non-for profit that owed it.
Adjournment:
Chris Rollins asked for a motion to adjourn the Park Board meeting at 9:15 pm. Ken Koch made
the motion and Kelly Sedgwick seconded the motion. The motion was unanimously approved by
voice vote.

MEMORANDUM
To: Park Board
From: Sue Swithin
CC: Bart Olson, Scott Sleezer, Recreation Staff
Date: 5.14.09
Subject: Revenue Program Proposals
The Park Board recently presented some recommendations and verbal proposals for revenue
producing ideas for the Park and Recreation Department. The ideas were briefly discussed with
staff and the following is an overview and narrative for future review:
Haunted House:
This idea was presented to staff and they thought that it was a good idea, however it would be very
difficult to hold it at the Rec Center due to the impact to the facility and members. We would need
to set up early and be able to keep it set up for a few weeks.
Staff will contact Harris Forest Preserve or the Kendall Co. Fair Grounds to see if their buildings
would be available. Staff was also concerned with funding and volunteers to operate the event.
This could be very costly and it is not in the current budget. Most of the funding would need to
come from sponsors, and that might be difficult in this economy.
We will continue to research the idea.
Big Band Dance:
This idea was already discussed amongst staff in the past. We had a conversation with the
"Yorkville Big Band". Staff will continue planning and prepare to offer this event this winter at the
REC Center.
Boxing:
The Recreation Staff was approached with this idea a few years ago, when we operated from the
Beecher Building. A company wanted to set up a ring in Beecher. Staff will work with a local
business in Sugar Grove and share that information soon. We would use the REC Center main
gym for this event, and the summer months would be better, due to less activities in the main gym
floor.
Dodge Ball Tournament:
Staff has talked about this idea before and will begin discussion to see if it could be done this
winter. It would be held either at the REC Center or a school gym. We currently are offering a
kickball tournament and a 16 "Mush-ball" tournament.
"The achievements of an organization are the results of the combined effort of each individual." t
Outdoor Basketball 3 on 3 Tournament
Staff will contact"Gus Macker" representatives again and find out if a tournament could be held in
Yorkville. We will also begin discussion with the marketing personnel from Dick's Sporting Goods
to see if they would be interested in sponsoring an event similar in their parking lot. We will report
later with information. If this is possible, it would likely be scheduled for next summer.
Family Indoor/Outdoor Pool Movie Night:
We will discuss this at a staff meeting and prepare to offer a few at the REC Center as a special
open house event in the fall and winter. Bart has begun dialog with representatives from Raging
Waves. We will share our thoughts with them about holding outdoor movies at their facility as a
special community event. Plans would continue now and possibly offer one at the end of this swim
season or wait until next summer season.
Bags Tournament:
believe this was mentioned as an idea at one of the last few meetings. We have contacted a non-
profit organization who will organize this event on Saturday, during our Home Town Days Festival.
Kayak/Canoe Lessons (indoor Pool):
This was discussed at a staff meeting recently. We believe with the new kayak/canoe raceway
being built and completed soon, that there might be some interest in instruction. We will search for
an instructor and plan this for our fall and winter season.

Date: May 8, 2009
roMAe :� Subject: Park Naming Policy Revisions
The Park Board has discussed the park naming policy revisions four times between the
last approved revision and the April 23, 2009 Park Board meeting. The dates of those four
discussions were November 13, 2008, December 4, 2008,December 18, 2008, and January 8,
2009. If you would like to view those minutes prior to the Park Board meeting, they are all listed
on the Minutes, Agendas, and Packets webpage at http:llyorkville.il.us/gov mtgs minutes.php.
A summary of those discussions is included below.
The November 13, 2008 discussion was focused on specific park naming requests
presented to the Park Board. This discussion deviated from the specific naming requests towards
the policy and how to strengthen the applications through providing additional letters of support.
The suggested policy change included adding a requirement for three letters of
recommendation for any park naming request.
The December 4, 2008 discussion on specific park naming requests again deviated
towards a policy amendment. The Board discussed three letters of recommendation and
suggested including with the park naming application a sample recommendation submittal
on which others could base a request. Finally, the board considered encouraging park naming
requests which have a broad appeal through naming after a group, i.e. Centenarian Park,
Hometown Heroes Park, etc.
The December 18, 2008 touched on the naming of a feature within a park. Attached
are a list of features which could be named if the Park Board feels such an amendment would be
acceptable.
The January 9, 2009 discussion touched on the specific naming of parks for
centenarians, mayors, and volunteers. The Park Board should further discuss this idea and
make recommendations following the park naming policy to identify which names will be
dedicated to which parks. Please see the attached list of unnamed parks for reference.
Finally, at the April 23, 2009 Park Board meeting,the Board discussed the need for the
park naming request to be presented to the Park Board in such a manner that the decision
to accept the naming request would be easy. The proposed policy amendments attached to
this memo contain a new section that articulates previously discussed policy changes regarding
letters of recommendation.

NAMING OF PARKS POLICY
The purpose of the "Naming of Parks Policy" is to provide consistent direction for
naming park property and improvements within the United City of Yorkville. This policy
and its criteria establish guidelines for evaluating naming requests, and final acceptance
or denial of a naming request is under the ultimate responsibility of the Park Board and
City Council, and may be based on guidelines not included within this policy. A list of
features eligible for naming may be obtained from the Parks and Recreation office
during normal business hours.
Any citizen, group, city official, or staff may request or recommend a name for a park,
building, structure, feature or thoroughfare within designated park property. The
proposed name is to be submitted in writing on an application form, with a letter of
recommendation/support for the naming request from three individuals, to the Director
of Parks and Recreation or the Park Board Chairperson. All applications will be
considered at the next regularly scheduled meeting of the Park Board. Upon Park
Board approval and recommendation, a subject proposal will then be presented to the
City Council for acceptance. If accepted by the City Council, a dedication will take place
within 90 days of approval, or in the case of a new park, within 90 days of completion
of park construction.
The following criteria will be used when considering the selection of park-related
names:
1. Any person living or deceased, who has made a significant contribution in
support of the United City of Yorkville, the Park and Recreation Department
operation, the state or national park system, conservation of natural resources or
in the recreation profession.
2. Any organization that contributed significantly toward improving the quality of
life for the residents of the United City of Yorkville, state or national park,
conservation of natural resources or the recreation profession.
3. The proposed name for any park building, structure, feature or thoroughfare
within a park must be authorized by a sworn statement from the person whose
name is being proposed, or if the person is deceased, the person's immediate
surviving family members. Organizations wishing to present a proposed name
for any park building, structure or thoroughfare must submit a sworn statement
signed by the current President and Secretary of said organization.
4. No park or recreation facility or property can be named after any public official
currently holding office or person currently employed by the United City of
Yorkville.
5. Names that would duplicate the name of another park, building or structure,
feature, or thoroughfare within the United City of Yorkville will not be considered.
Also, names that advocate or endorse religion, religious beliefs, possess obscene
connotations, or demean or attempt to intimidate any individual or group based
on race, ethnicity, age, gender, disability, or sexual orientation within the United
City of Yorkville will not be considered.
6. Names other than individuals and organizations may be considered when
submitting a proposed name for a park, park building, structure, feature, or
thoroughfare within a park. Examples of other name categories may include

YJWC was organized in 1991. Members are area women who have united to support
Yorkville and surrounding communities in many ways. Our annual fundraisers include
the Christmas Housewalk, spring and fall craft shows and the Bunny Breakfast(to name
a few). All the money we raise goes right back to the community in many ways.
Our annual commitments include scholarships for YHS students and donations to the
Kendall County Food Pantry, Mutual Ground and the Golden Diners.
Through the years,we have also made many donations to the Yorkville Public Library
(books, books,books!,toddler table and chairs, shelving, etc.) and to the Yorkville Parks
and Recreation Department including several pieces of equipment at Beecher Park and
the first handicapped playground equipment at Hiding Spot Park.
We've donated money for media center books to the Yorkville Public Schools and
supported the Garden Club in their recent beautification project.
In addition to these donations, each holiday season the Yorkville Junior Women's Club
organizes Operation Santa, helping less fortunate families in Kendall County provide
Christmas gift's for their children. In 2007 we sorted, organized and bagged gifts for
almost 1,000 kids!
We are submitting this application to have the Heartland Circle park named after our
club, but we would also like to "adopt"this park. In addition to an initial monetary
donation,we intend to continue to be involved—through service projects to clean up or
i beautify the park and/or additional monetary donations.

Subject: Park Naming Request for Park in Heartland Circle
The Yorkville Junior Womens Club has agreed to partner with the Yorkville
Parks and Recreation Department and the Heartland Circle Home Owners Association to
construct the park in Heartland Circle. They have agreed to contribute financially to
construct the park. In addition, the Club has agreed to ongoing support, both financially
and through annual volunteer efforts to beautify the park.
The Park Board and staff recommend that the park be named "Junior Wornens
Club Park of Heartland Circle." This direction is similar to the path we have taken with
Kiwanis and Rotary Parks in the Country Club Hills and Grande Reserve developments
respectively, in which a service club devotes its efforts toward park construction and
maintenance.
Heartland Circle's HOA Board of Directors has had input in to the proposed name
and has endorsed it.

Subject: Whispering Meadows Park—Caboose Update
Ei[Sllji:fflAfYEMf
I have included updates on the caboose in the last two weekly Director's reports (April
24, 2009 and May 1, 2009). Excerpts from both of those reports are included at the end of this
memo. In short, I discovered that none of the caboose,expenses have been included in the grant
agreement for Whispering Meadows Park. Upon learning this, I formally requested inclusion of
the caboose purchase and moving expenses into the Whispering Meadows Park grant(memo to
IDNR attached). That request for inclusion was denied, and I will be requesting reconsideration.
by IDNR this week.
In the memo requesting inclusion of the caboose expenses to IDNR,I listed a tentative
budget for moving fees and installation of the caboose at the Whispering Meadows Park site.
The City has already authorized and spent$10,500 on the purchase of the caboose. Staff is
estimating an additional $41,000 in moving fees and installation costs, for a total of$51,800. If
we are successful in petitioning the IDNR for inclusion of these expenses in the Whispering
Meadows Park grant, we would be reimbursed for 50% of the expenses ($25,900). If we are not
successful, we receive no money from the state for the caboose.
While the caboose would fit within the theme of the Whispering Meadows Park, I request
that the Park Board give direction on whether or not a contingency plan for the caboose should
be in place should we not receive any grant money for the caboose.
[Excerpt from April 24, 2009 Director's Weekly)
Caboose update—Whispering Meadows Park is currently required to be completed by June 30,
2009. Today two formal letters were sent to IDNR to request two separate items regarding this
grant. First, an extension of the project completion deadline and second, the inclusion of caboose
related expenses in the OSLAD grant. If approved, the deadline will be extended to December
31, 2009 and the caboose purchase,move, and installation will be included as part of the grant.
To date, none of the caboose expenses have been approved as part of the Whispering Meadows
Park grant. After last night's meeting and further investigation, I found that Mr.Mogle had
contacted the IDNR to see if the expenses would be eligible. IDNR had relayed which expenses
would be eligible for reimbursement following a formal request inclusion in the grant project.
The attached letter serves as that request. The budget numbers and timeline included within
memo have not been approved by Park Board, nor City Council; these numbers and the timeline
will be discussed at the next Park Board meeting. IDNR was requesting information on the
caboose expenses by today if we were going to include the costs in our grant extension. Staff
created the timeline and estimate per my request. If the Park Board does not approve of the
request, I will notify the IDNR immediately after the meeting.
------------------------
[Excerpt from the May 1, 2009 Director's Weekly]
Caboose update—As discussed in last week's report, I sent a Ietter to the IDNR
requesting inclusion of caboose expenses in the Whispering Meadows Park grant. The
initial response has come back from our IDNR grant administrator, who has denied the
request. I will be asking for reconsideration of that response early next week. If our
request is denied again, I will inform the Park Board in next week's Director's Report
(which will be distributed in the May 14th Park Board packets). A full report on the
caboose will be presented to the Park Board at the May 14th meeting as well.

Dear Ms. Eubanks,
Please accept this letter as the City's formal request for the addition of a caboose feature as an
eligible project expenditure to Whispering Meadows Park under the OSLAD park development
grant(Project#OS 06-1471). The following narrative outlines our justification for the feature
and explains our future use of the caboose:
"Whispering Meadows Park, which has now been formally named Bristol Station
Park, is next to the Burlington Northern Santa Fe tracks and is Yorkville's first
train themed park. The shelter is our `station', complete with a working clock
medallion for kids to `board the train' on time. The train themed play-structures
are connected by a tunnel with a walkway over the top.
Adding an authentic caboose to the park will add a unique park programming
space for story time, train safety presentations and exhibits, and allow children to
learn the history of trains and the purpose of a caboose. This 1967 caboose is a
strong addition to the train theme and will provide activity opportunities that are
not found in surrounding communities."
Accordingly, the following budget has been prepared for the caboose.
$10,500 purchase fees (authorized by the City and executed in May 2007)
$20,000 moving fees (expected completion of selection of contractor June 2009;
actual move August 2009)
$15,000 subbase, concrete, and rail installation(expected completion July 2009)
$6.300 140 lineal feet ornamental fence (completion August 2009)
$51,800 total cost
Thank you for consideration of this request.
Sincerely,
Bart Olson

Dear Bart,
This note is a follow-up to your April 24, 2009 letter regarding the caboose.
Unfortunately, the caboose would not be an eligible project expenditure because it is an indoor facility being used
for programming and exhibits. As we discussed, it may be possible to add an outdoor recreation element if the
project is under budget. If the City decides they would like to explore this option, please call me at 2171785-3884.
Thank you,

PARKC&PURrATION CC:
Date: May 8, 2009
Subject: Interfund Loan Check - Discussion
ma�rn:� a�ssamr�nv�rusmar
As promised in two emails sent from me to the Park Board members on April 27 and
April 28, this agenda item is for the discussion of the interfund loan repayment and interfund
loan check for the Parks and Recreation bank account.
To reiterate, the loan was requested to cover cash flow due to bill lists and payrolls in
April. The loan and the money associated with it did not authorize the Parks and Recreation staff
to purchase any additional items—it was only used to cover expenses that have already been
executed by staff and approved by the Park Board and City Council via the budget. At the end of
the fiscal year (April 30), the Parks and Recreation department was required to repay the loan
through the execution of a check from the Parks and Recreation department to the City in the
amount of$200,000. Once the repayment was processed on April 30, the loan could be
considered closed for FY 08/09. However,because the cash flow issues had not been resolved as
of April 30, the Parks and Recreation department bank account needed a loan from the City on
May 1. This new interfund loan was processed on May 1 in the amount of$150,000, and will be
reflected on the bill list at City Council on May 12, and in the cash analysis presented in this
Park Board packet.
A brief timeline of the situation is provided as follows:
1) March 5, 2009—The Park Board removes a check from the bill list for $4,400. This
check was supposed to accomplish the transfer of money from one Parks and Recreation
bank account to another to cover cash flow issues;however, since I did not have an
explanation for the item on the bill list, the item was removed from the bill list.
2) March 13, 2009--1 sent a Director's Weekly report to the Park Board giving the reason
for the$4,400 check being on the bill list. From said Director's Report:
"All of the department's bills are paid out of the general money market
account. As you may or may not be aware,the Parks and Recreation
Department's general money market account has been running
dangerously close to being overdrawn near every bill run and payroll
period. Since the department does not bave a reserve fund balance, this
means that any yearly deficit in the department can not be covered by the
department's bank accounts. Given the numbers that were looked at
during yesterday's park board meeting (deficits for year end FY 0$109),
this means that we will not be able to fund the rest of the year's expenses
out of the Park Board's bank accounts. I will be drafting a request for an
interfund loan that will be sent to Mayor Burd and Finance Director Mika
that will be considered by them, and potentially placed on the March 24th
City Council meeting agenda. The desired outcome is that the Mayor will
approve our request, and we will be transferred enough money to pay our
bills and payroll for the rest of the year. We would then be required to pay
back that loan within a fiscal year (or make arrangements otherwise)."
3) March 26, 2009—Discussion on the$4,400 check was conducted under the Director's
Report.
4) April 3, 2009--I sent a Director's Weekly report to the Park Board discussing the
interfund loan check in the amount of$200,000 coming to the Parks and Recreation
department from the City. From said Director's report:
"My request for an interfund loan from the general fund was processed
this week, and will be reflected in the cash analysis included in the packet.
The amount loaned will cover our remaining two payrolls and two bill lists
in April."
5) April 9, 2009—The cash analysis presented in the Park Board packet reflects the
$200,000 loan from the general fund, and was briefly touched on in the meeting(not
reflected in the minutes).
6) April 27, 2009--An email from Office Supervisor Reisinger requesting signatures on a
loan repayment check (due by April 30) were sent to Park Board members. This check
was signed on April 29, 2009 and processed on April 30, 2009.
7) May 1, 2009—A new interfund loan was processed by the City to the Parks and
Recreation department in the amount of$150,000. This loan will be required to be paid
back by April 30, 2010. As we have noted during budget discussions, I expect that we
will be able to repay half of this amount by April 30, 2010.

Tdilgl'.lE W7S6�8NT,OJIOF]A�If
Attached is a request from the Yorkville Optimist Club for a park rental fee and deposit
waiver request for Riverfront Park on Sept. 25, 26, 27. The amounts under consideration are
$1,300 for park rental fees and $1,000 in deposits. I have spoken with Lieutenant Hart who
indicated that he was aware that the Park Board has not waived deposits, and has waived fees
under certain circumstances. He felt that the Optimist Club's record of event planning has been
good enough to warrant a deposit waiver,but understood the purpose of the deposit should the
Park Board decide not to waive the deposit.
A similar request for a one-day Oktoberfest event was approved by the Park Board for a
waiver amount of$250 on July 30, 2008. The$250 covered most of the fee($290) and none of
the deposit. The deposit was returned to the Optimist Club in whole.

Subject: OSLAD Grant Applications 2009
i... .—MMUMEM
The Open Space Lands Acquisition and Development (OSLAD) grant cycle begins again on
July 1. For the past few weeks, the staff has been gathering materials for two OSLAD grant
applications: one for development of a park, and one for acquisition of property. As you probably
recall, the OSLAD grant program is one of the best funded programs for parks, and allows the
municipality to fund development or acquisition by paying only half of the cost. In some instances,
the development or acquisition can be completed with no municipal funds (more on this below).
Bristol Bay Regional Park–Development Grant Details
1) Deadline for grant application:
a. July 1, 2009
2) Concept plan drawing:
a. The concept plan drawing will be presented at the Park Board meeting, as staff is
still finalizing components of the park and a budget. The overall park plan has not
substantially changed from the previous year's grant application,but we have
changed the timing of the construction of different features to make them more
appealing to the grant review board. As you may recall,the park was proposed to be
developed in two phases–phase one would see development of soccer fields, tennis
courts, and the playground, and phase two would see development of the skate park,
the interpretive trails, and the landscaping. The City applied for funding for phase
one last year and was denied. We will be applying for funding for phase two this
year, and would then construct phase two first.
3) Maximum amount possible in state grant funding for this project:
a. $400,000
4) The amount that Yorkville must commit as a"match" for the state funding (in cash or in
land donation):
a. $400,000
5) Funding source for local match (proposed):
a. Land-cash funds ($400,000 as described in Item#4)
6) Alternate funding source available:
a. Blackberry Creek property held by Corlands
7) Timing of expenses:
a. Grant awards could be announced as early as January 2010,but recent years the
grant awards have been announced in May of the following year. Should this grant
be awarded, we can reasonably expect no expenses in FY 09110, most expenses to
fall in FY 10111 and the remainder of expenses in FY 11112.
Overall summary for Bristol Bay Regional Park
Since this park was submitted and denied last year, staff and the Mayor felt this park still
remains the top development priority. Given that most of the grant exhibits were prepared last year,
staff can use minimal effort in resubmitting the grant application this year. As described above
under the park concept plan, the overall concept plan and components of the park will not change—
but in this new application, staff is suggesting we apply for components of the park that were not in
the grant application last year. The new components to be applied for will make the application a
stronger candidate for award, and reflect the change in grant criteria that surfaced during last year's
grant cycle.
Obviously, the main issue that will be discussed by the Park Board and City Council is the
City's portion of the local match (proposed to be $400,000). As stated above, I am proposing land-
cash dollars to be spent on the local match. These expenses would be spread over two fiscal years
in the future and possibly longer if the park development is extended (and historically our park
developments have been extended). The current balance of the land-cash fund is $544,000 in
deficit. In this fiscal year(FY 09/10), we expect to receive reimbursements for three grants
(Blackberry Creek Bike Path, Prairie Meadows OSLAD grant, and Whispering Meadows OSLAD
grant). When received, these reimbursements will eliminate the deficit, and depending on the
timing of expenses within other parks will yield a surplus within the land-cash fund of near
$400,000.
Bollweg Property—Acquisition Grant Details
1) Deadline for grant application:
a. July 1, 2009
2) Property details:
a. A 7.4 acre parcel, consisting of a 1,500 s.f. home that is built into a hill ("earth
house'), and 250 feet of river frontage. Most of the parcel is wooded, with openings
in the wooded areas around the house, the backyard, and the pond in the backyard.
The woods are less dense towards the north of the property, and much denser to the
south of the property. The woods near the river were toured by staff, the Mayor, and
Dick Young of the Forest Preserve last year. Dick Young termed the land "pristine"
because it has never been farmed, contains some high quality trees, and there are
species of plants on the property he has never seen before.
3) Concept plan drawing:
a. The concept plan drawing will be presented at the Park Board meeting, as staff is
still finalizing components of the park and a budget. I have attached a parcel map for
your use. The overall park plan is focused on passive uses (interpretive trails,
preservation areas),but will contain use of the existing house as a museum or nature
exhibit, use of the river frontage for fishing and canoeing, and could contain a
trailhead that would connect to the Heartland Circle subdivision trails.. Given the
property's location and the property owner's potential wishes for use of the property,
the key component of this plan will be the extension of Birchwood Drive to this
property, and the buffering of the surrounding residential properties from the
development as a City park.
4) Maximum amount possible in state grant funding for this project:
a. $750,000
5) The amount that Yorkville must commit as a"match"for the state funding (in cash or in
land donation):
a. $750,000 (land donation, described in Item#6 and overall summary).
6) Funding source for local match (proposed):
a. $750,000 worth of land, (i.e. no cash required) donated to the City by Corlands from
the Blackberry Creek property being held by Corlands
7) Alternate funding source available:
a. None
8) Timing of expenses:
a. Grant awards could be announced as early as January 2010, but recent years the
grant awards have been announced in May of the following year. Should this grant
be awarded, the purchase of the property would still have to be negotiated and
approved by both parties. This execution would likely take place in FY 10111.
Overall summary for Bollweg_Rroperty
The acquisition of this parcel has been recommended by the staff and the Mayor because of
its location (riverfront),unique components (earth house), and because the property could be
acquired with no cash outlay by the City. As discussed briefly above, the City can receive up to
$750,000 by the state for acquisition of this property with a local match of$750,000 in donated
land. A few years ago, the Grande Reserve developers donated a 90-acre parcel to Corlands on our
behalf. This land was to be held and donated to the City as our match for development grants for
the Hoover property. Since the City and County have decided to terminate the Hoover use
agreement, the 90-acre donated parcel can be used in this grant program. To reiterate, this means
that as long as the Bollweg property is appraised at less than $750,000 and the property owners
agrees to sell the property for$750,000 or less, the City would be able to purchase the property with
state funds only.
Summary of cost for both grant projects
1) Bristol Bay Regional Park Development Grant
$ 400,000 (State grant dollars)
+ $ 400,000 (City funds)
$ 800,000 (total project budget)
2) Bollweg Property Acquisition Grant
$ 750,000 (State grant dollars)
+ $ 0 (City funds)*
$ 750,000 (total acquisition cost)
*This grant still requires a dollar-for-dollar match by the City. However, instead of putting up cash
as our match, the state allows cities to use as the match the value of land donated by a third party to
the City as the City's match. This means the City needs a parcel (and has one waiting for our use)
donated by a third party to the City worth$750,000.

Rather than reschedule again, the City held indoor activities at the golf course, and
golfers stayed for lunch, dinner, and activities. All golfers received a voucher for golf at
a time of their choosing. The only potential lost revenue from holding the event indoors
was decreased raffle ticket sales—many of the golfers left immediately after lunch.

1) Bill list item--On the bill list under"Senior Services Associates"is a check for
$1,860.32. This check was formally requested by Alderman Spears as a result of
discussions between her and members of the City's Senior Facility Adhoc committee,
which last met in November 2005. In 2005, this Adhoc committee held a Polka Party at
the Beecher Center to raise money for senior programs. All expenses and revenues for
this party were coded and paid out of a line item within the Parks and Recreation budget,
and this money has never been formally designated to senior programs. Therefore,
Alderman Spears and the former committee members have requested that this money be
given to Senior Services who will then donate it to Alzheimer's research. I have inquired
about some procedural issues with this request, and pending receipt of answers to my
inquiry, will have a verbal update for the Park Board at the meeting.
2) REC Center website- Community Relations Officer Spies, Superintendent Swithia and
I have been working on a standalone website for the REC Center. The new website will

Subject: Raintree Park B Equipment Award
On December 41h,2008, six different playground manufacturers submitted proposals that were
opened for the transportation themed park at Raintree Park B.The results were as follows:
Company Age 5-12 Climbing Net Shelter
Let's Go Play, Inc. Option#1 $55,000.00 no bid no bid
Let's Go Play, Inc. Option#2$55,000.00 included no bid
Parkreation $41,972,00 $13,028.00 $22,000.00
Gametime $42,879.00 $12,121.00 $22,000.00
NuToys $42,940.00 $12,060.00 no bid
Team Reil $59,195.00 $14,322.00 $16,877.00
Zenon Company $54,105.00 $12,706.00 $22,000.00
Staff review of the submissions led to the request for additional designs from the playground
manufacturers. Some had designed equipment with a$55,000.00 budget, others had included the
equipment and climbing net both in the$55,000.00 as the RFP had specified. Additional requests
provided the following results:
Company Age 5-12 Climbing Net
Parkreation Option#1 $55,000.00 no bid
Gametime $51,167.00 no bid
NuToys Option#1 $55,000.00 no bid
Team Reil Option#1 $54,686.00 included
Zenon Company $53,508.00 no bid
Once these drawings were received and evaluated, Staff recommended changes to the Zenon
Company design to add more ADA elements and make the entire park more wheelchair user
friendly. This slightly increased the pricing to a total of$56,169.00, Staff is recommending the

YORKVILLE RECREATION DEPARTMENT
Monthly Report
Park Board Meeting
Month of April 2009
Highlights and Summary:
A"Let's Team Up!" camp was conducted during Spring Break for children in 1St through 3rd grade.
The camp was a huge success with the maximum of 24 children enrolled. The camp focused on
playing various games such as Dodgeball, Kickball, Capture the Flag, and"Everyone's It" in a safe
and fun environment. Due to the success of this camp,we plan to create two sections for next year's
Spring Break—one for 1St through 2"d graders and one for 3rd through 4th graders.
Sprint soccer games began for the U12 and U14 divisions on April 4. These divisions are participating
in the Tri-County League based out of the Sandwich Park District. The games have been competitive
throughout the league with the Yorkville teams winning approximately half of their games. Due to the
success of this program, Sandwich Park District and the Yorkville Recreation Department are
partnering together to expand this league for the fall with some of the games being played on Yorkville
fields. The U6, U8, and U10 divisions began their games on April 18 with the games running
extremely well.
Registration ended for the Coed,Men's Competitive, and Men's Recreational Softball Leagues. The
final totals were 16 teams in the Coed League, 5 teams in the Men's Competitive League, and 14 teams
in the Men's Recreational League. Approximately 6 teams were put on the waitlist between the Coed
and Men's Recreational Leagues. Due to the high demand of the Coed League, we plan to create an
additional Coed Summer League next year to hopefully accommodate the additional teams interested.
This is the first time we are offering a competitive league, due to suggestions from past recreational
teams.
During the month of April swimming lessons boomed and we had to add three additional classes to our
schedule, two level 1 classes and one level 2 class. Overall we had 55 children enrolled in our April
session bringing in over$2,400 for the month. We have been continuing advertising hoping the
program will continue to grow the way that it has been.
Registration started for the second session of our fitness session and brought a little bit of bad news
when our Zumba instructor sustained an injury and we had to cancel the session. Fortunately it was
not a serious injury and should heal with a little rest and we will offer it again for the first session of
summer.
Our first event for spring took place on Saturday April 4th with the Easter Egg-Xpress. Nearly 150
participants met at the Aurora train station and took a short train ride to Naperville. Once arriving in
Naperville they were greeted by the Easter Bunny who led them to a park for the Egg Hunt. Within a
few short minutes after the word"go" all of the hidden eggs were found. Families then were able to
take pictures with the Easter Bunny, open their eggs, and have a snack(cookies made by Kerrin
Harris).
Ready Set Go, Little Tumblers, Short Sports, Morns and Tots, Bunny Crafts, Moving &c Groovin, Little
Explorers and Busy Bees all started the spring season off for Toddler Classes. Tot Rock and Kid Rock
I and II classes also began on Saturday mornings. Kristy Letrich taught a Flower Pots class for the
toddler age group. The participants learned how to plant their own flower seeds, grass seeds and their
own flowers. Preschool had their annual Easter Parties and spring field trips this month. A little rain
did not "dampen"their excitement for their field trips; they still enjoyed egg tosses, water balloon toss,
scooter races and much more!
Ball Room Dancing completed their spring session. They had a party to end their final class where
they all performed the dances they learned in class. A suggestion was to hold a longer class that would
last one hour or more, to allow for more practice.
Over the weekend of Saturday April 18th& Sunday April 19th the Recreation Department held the REC
Center Spring Demo and Tax Dodge 5k Run. On Saturday, potential members and customers, as well
as runners picking up their race packets, were able to take a tour of the REC Center and/or join in one
of the many free classes that were being offered all morning. Then on Sunday, 139 runners participated
in our Ist Tax Dodge 5K run. While there was a little rain that morning, all of the runners completed
the race and were complimentary of the course.
As a reminder,the City of Yorkville's 23rd annual Golf Outing was postponed, due to flooding at
Blackberry Oaks Golf Course, and will now take place on Friday May 15`x'. There are spots for 170
golfers and everyone that participated in last year's event was mailed an application throughout the
month of February.
