PRESENTATION:
RA Faganel Builders,Inc. Dhuse Farm
David Faganel presented his development of 167,twelve thousand square foot single
family home lots which will be developed in two to five years. Currently,the concept
plan has the two acre park area centrally located and connected by a trail system. Mr.
Faganel wanted the Board's input regarding the park site and how quickly they can start
the park. Scott Sleezer wanted the Board to note that south of this development there are
13 acres of park land for the proposed school/park site in MPI south. A park will be
within the half mile radius. Therefore, an option could be to take the cash so that there is
money to develop the four parks in MPI. It appears there will be a roadway connection to
the south which goes through the school park site. This may be acceptable if a high
school were being built in this location, but it would not be acceptable for a junior
high/grade school. The Board needs to know what type of school is planned to be built
on this land and what their intentions are to determine whether they want the two acre
park. If it is a high school,they would most likely want it for the younger children.
There are too many things up in the air for decisions to be made so they thought the first
approach should be to talk to the MPI developer to see what is possible regarding the
configuration and about their flexibility. If this has already been discussed with Dr.
Engler then we need to find out what his intentions are regarding what type of school he
would like for that site.
Scott Sleezer suggested having trail instead of sidewalks along Ament Road. This will
enable us to connect some of the trails going east/west. In this situation the utility
1
r
easement will provide enough easement for the trail. Parks and Recreation's trails that go
through a development have different standards,however. Scott Sleezer can provide
these standards to the developer.
In response to the developer's question regarding how soon Parks and Recreation can
develop the park if a park were to be built,the board responded that it is up to the
developer. If the land-cash is front funded,the park can be built even before any houses
go up.
Mr. Faganal has a contract on the Dixon Farm on the north side of Gelena. This is
unincorporated land at this time, but he was interested in what the Board thought of the
land. Parks and Recreations would like a trail connection because this would connect us
to Fox Valley. Mr. Faganal stated that this is all still in the early stages as there is a large
challenging area he needs to figure out.
APPROVAL OF MINUTES:
Minutes from the December 8,2005 board meeting were approved on motion by Ken
Koch and seconded by Van Truman. The motion was unanimously approved.
BILLS REVIEW:
Cash Analysis& Bills List
From the November 10, 2005 Board meeting there was a discussion regarding the Hoover
Boy Scout Camp Land Cash Reserve and wanted Traci Pleckham's explanation. The
Board decided that funds should come out of the reserve set up for Hoover expenditures.
If there is a surplus at the end of the year in a land acquisition account, then we can fund
the reserve account for the next budget year.
Heather Fiala motioned to approve the bills list and was seconded by Ken Koch. Roll
call vote: Chris Rollins—Yes,Ken Koch—Yes, Van Truman—Yes, Gary Golinski-
Yes, Heather Fiala—Yes, and Tammy Smock—Yes. The motion was unanimously
approved.
OLD BUSINESS:
Rail and Light for Parkview Update
Sue Swithin received a verbal quote for the rail of$1,500 for the slab at the back door of
Parkview. There is a shed that is too close to the ramp for proper access to use the ramp
so if the rail were put up everyone would need to walk up the ramp as it is railed. The
light,however, can be received as a donated item. Sue Swithin then called Rena Peterson
to,tell her the findings and to get her okay. Rena Peterson wanted to make sure that this
is a good source of the tax payer's money and thought maybe everyone should go in
through the front of the school. Chris Rollins indicated that since parking is in the back
people would then need to walk around the building which is not well lit. He feels using
the back entrance would still be best for safety purposes,but the cost is still an issue
because this is an unbudgeted expenditure. Even though the karate program will be being
moved to another site, Sue Swithin feels that she could use the gym for other programs.
She will go over the agreement with Rena Peterson if this is not the case. Sue Swithin
can program out this facility even more if she updated the north basketball hoop in the
gym. The hoop is extremely outdated. It is on a rope system and is held in the ceiling by
2
only two large bolts. With a basketball hoop they can have open gym in there, basketball
practices, and house leagues. However, Sue Swithin is very apprehensive to using the
hoop as is. It would cost$5,000-$6,000 to update this. There is the possibility that the
principal in the school would share is the cost. Chris Rollins' concern is that the
expenditures keep going up and this is not a building that we own. Mayor Prochaska
suggested asking if we could use the expenditures for improving the building in lieu of
rent. From the school's point of view,the school will benefit from the improvements
done to the building. Chris Rollin's would feel better is they would share in the funding.
The Board unanimously agreed to give Sue Swithin the latitude to have the discussion
with the ownership of Parkview to reach a satisfactory resolution in making the
improvement.
Land Acquisition Fund/Reserve Update
This was discussed under"Bills.Review."
NEW BUSINESS:
RFI Discussion
Sue Swithin asked the Board for their recommendation for her to proceed. They would
like to expand their current agreement with Pepsi. They are just going to keep on file the
St. Francis proposal and would like to proceed to get more information from Harvard
Construction. Sue Swithin will work on this after the catalog deadline.
Letter to School District
Chris Rollins had forwarded a letter to Sue Swithin. She had thought the letter was great
and put it on letterhead. Unfortunately, Chris Rollins did not receive the letter back.
Chris Rollins will re-forward the letter to Sue Swithin. The letter requested reinstating a
school board liaison to the Board because of the many the issues that are coming up about
joint school/park sites. Mayor Prochaska agreed to cosign the letter. Chris Rollins had
informally mentioned the letter to Dr. Engler and after consideration Dr. Engler had
indicated that this was a good idea and would appoint Seth,the athletic director,to be the
liaison. Chris Rollins felt this was a good decision. A letter will still be sent to make it
formal to get the liaison appointed and to clearly state that they would like to have a
liaison that will make a commitment to attend both meetings. Sue Swithin will e-mail the
Board a copy of the letter before it is sent out.
Set Date for Richard Korinek presentation
Sue Swithin will arrange the presentation on January 24,2006 at 7:00 p.m. at the City
Council meeting. She will call Richard Korinek to let him know of the date. She will
also call to make sure that it gets put on the agenda.
Joint SchoobPark Sites
Chris Rollins presented a concept regarding joint school/park sites that a colleague of his
shared with him. He will give a fuller report when he has more information about it,but
the theory of it is that in the interest of joint/school park sites they agreed that whenever a
school was going to be built and there was going to be a joint site,they would treat their
land balances differently. Basically, all the green spaces of the site were the
responsibility of parks and recreation. All of the hard spaces (the building,the
sidewalks, and the parking lot)were maintained by the school district. During the day
3
}
the entire site was fully for the school to use only. As soon as the last bell rang of the
school day, it was for park and recreation to use. They had a land cash agreement. If
there was a joint requirement for space,the park would automatically reduce their
requirement by a percentage. They would take the balance in cash to make a donation to
the school system to design the building in such a way that it would be conducive to
recreational activity(different entrances to the building, different positioning of the
parking lot, etc.). Because of the monetary contribution towards construction this
guaranteed them the use of those spaces for recreational purposes and to address any
additional costs that the school may otherwise claim would cost too much to build that
way. So they used the balance that way and felt it was a win-win situation. During the
day when primarily people would not be using the park it was a school site. All summer
and when school was out, it was a park site. So during the time when they had the
greatest recreational need they had a bigger park. The school district thought that it was a
win because they were not responsible for mowing the lawn and taking care of he
landscape, etc. Although we may be a long way from having that kind of arrangement,
he thought that we should start putting the ground work in motion to have exactly that
type of arrangement. He did not want the school district to think that Parks and
Recreation is just a land bank for the school where we want to put up a fence to clearly
define the two. Instead, we want something were the community gets value to have the
full use. Chris Rollins asked his colleague how they were able to get to that point, and
his colleague stated that it took a period of really concentrated development where a lot
of building was going on and neither of them had enough money to do anything.
Everyone was looking for some way that each could help the other,but it really took
some trust. Chris Rollins thinks that the first step that we need to take is to build that
trust. He hopes that having a liaison at the meetings to tell the school board of the vision
of how we would like to see sites jointly developed and ultimately we want to work
toward some goal like that and that everyone will see the benefit in it. He thinks it could
start with Parks and Recreation having the vision. Parks and Recreation can adjust their
way of doing business as long as they find it beneficial for them and think that it can be
beneficial for the school too. There will be many details that will need to be worked out
but the willingness to move in that direction has to be there and to express it. Chris
Rollins feels that this is something that is worth thinking about. The community,the
developer,the schools, and the parks could be happy. We are all trying to service the
same community. Now is the time to re-approach the idea and with that comes
entitlement,not just the ability to use,because we are invested with them for a lifetime.
Hopefully the heavy development will push us together out of sheer necessity. This will
be an item on the next agenda and Chris Rollins hopes to have more information on
examples of agreements like that and how we initiate them.
School Referendum
Lynn Berks of the school board would like the school referendum committee put on the
agenda for the next meeting for a short presentation so that the public sees it. Sue
Swithin will call and let her know that this would be fine.
REPORTS
Park Report
Scott Sleezer will have the Year End report for the next meeting. His computer crashed
but it did open their eyes on the need for a server. The information on his computer
4
could be recovered but by having the person who recovered the information do this, it has
voided the warranty. Now he just needs someone to put a new hard drive back in the
computer and to get it going again. There is money in the budget for this. Scott Sleezer
is using Laura Brown's computer for the time being.
Recreation Report
Sue Swithin presented the recreation report. Basketball season is going great and Becky
is doing a great job with the program. There is anew program at the Trinity Church
called Ready, Set, Go for two years olds to give an example of a preschool setting. They
may run another one. The part-time special event person, Lisa Morton, is doing a great
job. She is taking over most of the one day and special event activities.
They are in the process of fmishing the interviews for the 20 hours receptionist/secretary
position. Most of these hours will be spent at the recreation office until an executive
director is hired.
They are working on next year's fiscal budget,making revisions where necessary. Traci
Pleckham will put this all together.
Concession Report
After two years with less staff and less pay we are still only making$3,000 net and there
is $1,000 worth of products still sitting in the concession stand. Sue Swithin now has a
good handle on how much to order, who to hire, and the number of people to work the
shifts. She is not sure if she will be staffing the concession stand for spring soccer, but
they should have the water fountain and washrooms open. It will depend on the number
of people attending,the weather, and if she has staffing ready to make the concession
stand profitable. Ken Koch suggested having the concession open on baseball picture
day because there are people everywhere and everyone is just sitting around waiting. Sue
Swithin is not sure where outside the picture taking is going to be held, but she will keep
the idea in mind. Chris Rollins also suggested getting the message out during
tournaments that concessions are available because many of the teams may not know that
they are available. They main problem was that Sue Swithin was not informed when a
tournament is being played.
There are plans for a concession stand to be at the park in Grand Reserve. Scott Sleezer
is discussing this with the developer because the developer has cut it out of the budget.
Scott Sleezer is working on getting it reinstated.
ADDITIONAL BUSINESS
The community developer director now lives in Yorkville and his first day in the office
will be next Tuesday. He has met with various staff members and has found out about
the various projects that are going on and is very excited about jumping in and getting
started. There will be a coordination between him and Mike Schoppe.
Alderman Joe Besco inquired about an update regarding the joint facility with Public
Works. Scott Sleezer is drafting a letter indicating that the Park Board will move forward
with the Public Works Committee to continue looking into a maintenance facility for
Parks but to use it jointly for a time with Public Works until Public Works has the ability
5
y
to build their own or until Parks grows into all the space. They will then look into how
they will fund this. When they have a conceptual building plan they may plan another
joint meeting.
ADJOURNMENT:
The meeting adjourned to Executive Session at 9:00 p.m. following the motion by Van
Truman and seconded by Heather Fiala. The motion was unanimously approved.
The meeting reconvened from the Executive Session and adjourned at 9:43 p.m.

At our Public works committee meeting we discussed the possibility of sharing the proposed new
parks maintenance facility until the parks department needs the space, or a new public works
facility can be built, whichever comes first. We would not be asking for any changes or
additions,we would just like to share the proposed space. I am sure we can work with the
Finance Director to work out some cost sharing for this project. Please ask the Park and
Recreation Board for their input concerning this matter at the next meeting. If you have any
questions or concerns,please let me know.

area of Yorkville was developed in the fifties and sixties and previously did not have a
park site. The Parks Department identified a potential site and held town meetings to
see if the public was interested in having an active park site in their neighborhood, it
received an overwhelming yes. When then design work was completed and
construction began, the parks department did all of the landscaping and construction to
help save money on the project.
'C Design and constructed Sunflower Park which
includes a farm themed playground. The
entire site was designed to give the user a
feel of a farm. The park amenities include a
pear orchard, daylily crop rows and a barn
style shelter. This park also features a
circular sized basketball court to maximize
play, different height basketball goals to
ensure play for any age. It also includes a
hitching post style bike rack and tractor seat
benches.

Subject: Grande Reserve Regional Park
Dave,
As stated in the annexation agreement dated 7-22-03 for Grande Reserve development submitted
by MPI,parks are to be developed in accordance to the park development standards and designs
as developed by the parks department.The financial obligation by MPI for the construction of
the parks shall be within the land cash agreed upon amount of 2,646,000.00 million plus the
additional amount of$158,920.00 as stated in the memo dated 4-21-04.
The current contract with J.E.M.Morris for the regional park development does not include the
development of the proposed concession stand as indicated on the park design plans. This is a
deviation of the plans and is not in conformance with the annexation agreement. I have discussed
this matter with John Wyeth our City attorney,we asking you to include the construction of the
concession stand in the regional park plan. To wait any longer will cause additional cost to the
concession stand and the project as a whole.
