Ken Koch clarified that this is where the ten foot wide trails are specified .

On page 11 section 4 bullet A3 he would like to add the verbiage "of both parties" after "best interest. " Also in the next sentence as discussed would be taken out.

FY 200712008 Midyear Budget Adjustments Dave Mogle said that the midyear budget numbers were taken to the Administration Committee last week. The City made budget adjustments of about 1 . 8 million dollars total . Mogle gave a quick summary and said that in the revenue line item under the operational budget we projected about thirty-eight thousand dollars of additional revenue, which much of that was accounted for under recreational program fees. He said that the other big change in the revenue would be with the carry over. He said the carry over is not added in until after the audit and the audit has happened and the carry over is the revenue line. He also notes that on the expense side it looks as if we're off in the salaries and that they really aren 't off. He said that a certain individual's salary was left off however it was added at the midyear point and it had always been accounted for on our side . Mogle also noted at the end of the park expenses section the salary survey and merit line items were cashed out and added to the salary line item . So basically that gives the explanation to the adjustments and overall expenses were still up however we still balanced out. Deb Horaz asked what Merit was and Mogle explained that it was increases for full-time and permeate part-time staff based on an evaluation tool that they used . Mogle also noted that the funds for Cob Park would be taken out of next year's budget leaving us to balance this year's budget. NEW BUSINESS: 2007 Bridge Park Field Lighting Costs Dave Mogle stated that this is an informational item only. He noted that we were waiting for the bills to come in on the lighting cost for the past years use at Bridge Park. Mogle noted that the electric cost also included all the programs that had light usages out on the field and it also included the concession . He said it came out to be about 75 thousand in the first year. He said the first bill was the largest because it included set up cost. He believed the total amount was down from 12 thousand to 8 thousand assuming that all the bills were in . Scott Sleezer said that they learned that they should make adjustments for what they were charging . They were charging $48 1hour for just the lights. The issue was the lights were on for more than an hour. They hadn't taken into consideration the time the lights were on before the game warming Lip and the time they were on after the game while people were exiting the fields . Sleezer said that they made an adjustment to include the cost of the time exceeding and preceding the games when the lights were in use. Swithin said that she is getting her concession stand staff trained on recording their time on a calendar of when they turn on and off the lights . She said that would be very easy way to record the times . She felt that way they will get an accurate read . Ken Koch asked about the energy and supply charge and Mogle stated that it was on every bill . Sleezer said that the price could vary depending on how often the lights were turned on . Review of 2007 YYBSA Agreement and Discussion for 2008 Dave Mogle said that the plan is to meet next week with the YYBSA representatives to begin the revision process for a new agreement. Mogle would like to discuss the agreement and department policies that pertain to ball field, rental fees, and rules. Mogle noted that on the first page of the agreement under the use and parks by the association section they talked about changing the agreement and we wanted to extend the agreement from April 1St to July 31St to April 1St to July 30th Mogle wanted to add in a disclaimer that for holidays stating we might not provide maintenance or the same level of maintenance on the holidays. Mogle also stated that there will be a field that the YYBSA won't be able to use. Ken suggests that Hoover not be a rental field . Mogle said that he suggests that the field they choose would be held out for our own programs and he suggested that should be Prairie Meadows . He 4 explained that the filed that we hold out is not going to have organized play allowed and it will be for pickup play. Sleezer said that some of the general complaint from the public is they have nowhere to play. Sleezer said that Prairie Meadows is easier for people to find that's why that one is being suggested to be held . Truman said that we don 't have exclusive arrangements with anyone right now but we have priority arrangements. He is concerned that whatever field we hold open we won 't get the kind of walk on play to have it be utilized to its full potential . Swithin said that pickup play would happen where persons live and they will go to the nearest green space to where the live; Hiding Spot Park she felt is a good example of that. Mogle also noted that right now we're looking at the association paying $ 10 per participant to the Park and Recreation Department. Whether they want to tack that onto their surcharge or use their reserves that are what we would like to shoot for. Ken Koch said at their last meeting they already agreed to raise the fee to $ 15. Truman said that the registration fee goes up every year and their program still grows double digits. Sleezer said we put a lot of money into the fields so we have to try to recoup some of our expenses. Sleezer said that if they don't contribute more then they are going to see a night and day difference on how the fields are going to look. He said we're not asking them to cover all our costs. Truman wants to make sure we tag a surcharge on their registration fees but we need to settle this with them before they start printing registration materials. Swithin said that they were missing a void of giving them that opportunity of coming in and giving them the rental of three entire . fields for tournaments and they were looking to have everything dragged before each game. She went over the three basic packages that cover the additional fees in preparing the fields. She said that they could choose a package. She went over the price changes and packages listed in the agreement, Park Board Meeting for 12127107 — Quorum Question Dave Mogle stated that he would be out on the 27th and wanted to find out if there would be a quorum that night. After discussion the decision was made that there would be a meeting . 5 Reports : Directors Report 1 , YMCA Partnership Presentation to City Council : Dave Mogle said that the YMCA presented to the City Council and EDC Committee. They are giving the YMCA an opportunity to do a public hearing . His understanding is that they are coming to the COW meeting on the 18th 2 , Hoover Ad Hoc Committee Dave Mogle noted that there was nothing new and he and Jason were shooting for a committee meeting on the 18th' . He said that the lease went in front of the county board members and it went really well . Jason said that there were a small minority that wanted the City to contribute more money but they liked the idea of the City and County's cooperative efforts. 3 , IPR State Conference Mogle said that Ken Koch and Deb Horaz would go the same day as Gary Golinskie, Parks Report Scott Sleezer passed out a memo on the purchase of a new pickup truck and a new wing style mower. He said that they were included in the original 2007-2008 Parks Capital budget and has also been approved in themed year budget adjustments, He said he wanted to order the mower now to get the discounts, He also said that we wouldn 't have to pay for them until we get them . Ken Koch asked for a voice vote in approval to move forward in the purchase of the mower and truck and it was unanimously approved by voice vote. Recreation Report Sue Swithin goes over some highlights on the Yorkville Recreation Department monthly report, She handed out a final concession report that wasn't included in the packet. She asked if we wanted to talk about the survey, She handed out the survey and she noted that it was a raw survey at this time.

Thank you again for your time last Thursday. Yorkville Youth Baseball Softball Association is proud of the symbiotic relationship that we have developed with the Park & Recreation Department. We truly appreciate the maintenance and condition of the playing fields. As Dave notes, with 10 percent of Yorkville's population involved in our program, we realize how important it is to continue maintain quality fields as we look to improve the quality service of our program. Our group of dedicated volunteers perform the following duties: 1 . Recruit coaches 2. Train coaches 3. Train players 4. Conduct player evaluations and team drafts 5. Schedule practices and games 6, Coordinate and schedule umpires 7. Fundraise 8. Solicit sponsors 9. Order, inventory, and maintain equipment 10. Order and distribute uniforms 11 . Coordinate picture day for 100 teams 12. Developing a new website to allow for on-line registration and better communication with parents 13. Various administrative duties - codes of conduct, background checks 14. Community Public Relations - Season Ending celebration, Parades Unfortunately, YYBSA ran negative $8,357 for 2007. While we still have a positive balance presently, we will need more sponsors and new equipment as the league population continues to grow. In addition, we have increased costs for the development and implementation of the new website allowing on-line registration with credit card payment capability. We understand the increasing cost of the field maintenance and sincerely want to do our part in helping to maintain the current condition of our fields, but the financial reality is that we are currently not in a position to afford $10 per player ($12,000) for field maintenance. I know that we discussed taking our all of the T-Ball players since they do not play on Park District fields, but that is only 200 players and would still leave the proposed fee at $10,000. As discussed, I will present this to the Board at our January 6th meeting, but feel that it will understandly be a tough sell. I would recommend that we look at some way to scale up the fees over a course of a few years. Again, we are looking forward to an even better 2008 season. We truly appreciate all of your hard work and help 1/7/2008 Page 2 of 2 to make it happen. I look forward to meeting with you on January 11 th to finalize our agreement.

Staff have met with our grant consultants and will report to the park board a list of potential projects with priorities. A recommendation will be given. YORKVILLE RECREATION DEPARTMENT Monthly Report Park Board Meeting Month of December - 2007 HiQhliehts and Summary: The Recreation Department started off the month of December with our annual Polar Express Trip. Over 150 families took the Polar Express from Aurora's Metra Train Station, rode the train to the North Pole (Downer's Grove stop) and had a special visit from Santa Claus. While on the train ride, to and from the North Pole, the Polar express book was read and all of the participants were given a bag of cookies and milk and reindeer dust. We received great reviews from many families. Also in the month of December we had over 70 kids write letters to Santa, in our Letters to Santa program. Santa was able to respond to all of the kids and the Kendall County Record placed one of his/our favorite letters in the paper. Holiday Under The Stars was a new event for the city this year. Some staff from the city offices planned the event with help from staff in the Parks and Recreation Department. Parker's Playtime Pre School had their annual Holiday Play with a visit from the North Pole. Ready Set Go finished up this December and will start up again in January. Two classes have been added for Ready Set Go in December and January and both have been filled. A Mini Gingerbread class was offered to children ages 3-5. The kids were able to keep the mess with us and make their own gingerbread house to take home. There was also a Let's Make Ornaments and Secret Shopping Time class for residents this month. Computertots and Movie Claymation were taught by Computertots this fall and winter. This fall for adults we added jewelry classes. Jeanne Eberhardt has been teaching Baubles and Beads and Faux Diamond Tennis Bracelet classes.
