Approval was unanimous. Developer Presentation- David Meek, attorney for Aspen Ridge Estates, discussed a revised plan for the development, incorporating suggestions made by the Board at their November 22,2004 meeting. Schoppe discussed the plan in relation to the size, location, and number of proposed parks in the general area. Discussion ended with the Board's recommendation for a 10' trail,with a 5' easement on each side,running north/south along Pavilion Rd. on the west side of the creek, outside of the 100 year flood plain, and the remaining property, as well as the centrally located park,to be owned by a developer HOA. The developer would pay the balance of their land/cash obligation in cash, and would be given 100 percent credit for the land, if they install the trail to Parks &Rec standards. Old Business- Brown presented the revised Uniform Policy for discussion. Truman asked for an explanation of a change in the amount of the allowance for park administration.Brown then called attention to a statement that was to have been stricken from the policy. Rollins asked for a motion to accept the final draft of the policy, as amended. Truman made the motion. Koch seconded. Approval was unanimous. Brown updated the Board on the status of the Planner position. She explained that City Council has directed the City Administrator to establish a department made up of a Community Development position,Land Planner,Park Planner, and Project Manager.The Board expressed their chagrin with the City's decision, in light of the Park Board's desire to reduce the rate of current planning expenditures. Sleezer reported there were 81 applicants for the park maintenance positions. Thirteen interviews were conducted,resulting in three new hires. Sleezer spoke highly of the three and their level of skill and experience.They will start work on January 30. New Business- Rollins volunteered to represent the Board for the Executive Director's review with the Mayor. Sleezer will follow up with the park naming request by Charles Doetschman. The Board discussed City Council's request for a representative on the Advisory Ad-Hoc committee to determine short- and long-term senior facility needs. Rollins suggested this matter be tabled until it can be discussed with the entire board. Brown reported that staff is requesting authorization to complete application for an OSLAD grant for $200,000, a 50/50 matching grant. She suggests it be used for the trail through the Grande Reserve development,which will eventually connect with the Fox Valley trail system. The match would be paid by MPI,the developer of Grande Reserve. The application is due March 1. Brown also reported that she was notified on January 21 that the City has been awarded a grant, in the amount of$102,000, for an Illinois Tomorrow Corridor Planning grant through IDOT,to be used for pedestrian and bike path development for the entire city. Brown discussed a draft of the 2005-06 draft budget and a forecast 2006-07 budget, and explained the benefit of working in a two-year budget cycle. She explained that the General Fund transfer is waiting for the factoring in of salaries, pension, Social Security,etc. She also discussed budgeting for additional staffing needs, asset replacement, and salary considerations. Brown pointed out that she has not budgeted for any land acquisition,because of the amount of development coming into the City. Brown invited questions/recommendations on the budget from the Board. Brown will notify board members of the budget timeline. Additional Business- None Correspondence- Rollins pointed out miscellaneous correspondence. Adjournment- The meeting adjourned at 9:15 p.m. following a motion by Koch, seconded by Fiala.

T p.�;.t z( Fall Soccer 15 AT : Soccer Registration 2005 Yes! It's time to think about Fall Soccer Registration for 2005. Due to the large interest and success of this program the registration procedures for Soccer 2005 will be changing. The changes include: 1. Earlier Soccer Registration Dates: May 11, 2005 (Wednesday) 4:00 - 7:00 p.m. May 14, 2005 (Saturday) 9:00 - 12:00 noon May 18, 2005 (Wednesday) 4:00 - 7:00 p.m. May 21, 2005 (Saturday) 9:00 - 12:00 noon June 1, 2005 (Wednesday) 4:00 - 7:00 p.m. June 4, 2005 (Saturday) 9:00 - 12:00 noon Fall Soccer 2005 Fees: Residents: $ 52 Non-residents: $ 65 (Fee includes a non-refundable administrative fee of$10.00 for cancellation or refund). All Registrations taken after June 4th, 2005 will be put on a WAITLIST, and charged a non-refundable $10.00 late fee. After June 18th, 2005 we will no longer accept soccer registrations, under any circumstances. All cancellations must occur 48 hours prior to the start of the practice season. No refunds allowed unless a Doctor's excuse is presented and approved by the Recreation Dept. 2. Pre-Registration Option (Coaches Only): We are encouraging all parents/guardians to become a coach. If you commit to coaching for the Fall 2005 season, your child will automatically be pre-registered for Fall Soccer. If you are interested in coaching, please complete a registration form (available at Beecher). No payment is required at this time. Two weeks prior to registration (dates listed above) you will be contacted to confirm you are still able to coach. At this time, if you commit to coaching, payment will be due to secure placement. If you are unable to coach, your child will then be dropped from pre-registration, and you will need V fi 'c;., i, zT '",r Ax' S i dry' w, ,. ,z...;.,,„„'...z- x Pf,, C c - ..;' a.r,.y^rlr � 'n,, ''. �k..., , ':n4.

Schaumburg's new"green" landscaping ordinance and its "Biodiversity Recovery Guide" for residents and businesses, are models of what a municipal government can do to control flooding, improve habitat and make its town a healthier, happier place in which to live, shop and work. Communities such as yours across Illinois have recently experienced costly flooding, poor water quality, disappearing wetlands, loss of recreational waterways and habitat, and an increase in invasive plant and aquatic species. One cause of all of these problems is a reduction in the "biodiversity" of these communities. The loss of biodiversity-defined as the "totality of genes, species and ecosystems within a region" — means a lower quality of life for the taxpayers of your town. The biodiversity of our state - and of your community - is unique. The wildlife, foliage and even the drainage and topography of your town help define your residents. To sustain a healthy and flourishing community for decades to come requires a new commitment to recovering some of the biodiversity which existed before our ancestors paved prairies, straightened rivers and bulldozed trees. In March, 2004, the Village of Schaumburg took the noteworthy step of incorporating principles of natural landscaping and conservation design into a new landscaping ordinance. Schaumburg's ordinance defines natural landscaping as that which, "preserves or uses primarily native vegetation in a design intended to exhibit the character and spirit of nature by arrangement of the plants and drainage patterns similar to the arrangement of natural prairie, woodland, or wetland plant communities and drainage." Schaumburg's ordinance addresses the need for native trees and threat of invasive trees. It tackles erosion, drainage and wetland protection. It sets aesthetic standards to clean the air, reduce traffic noise and make Schaumburg an attractive option for potential homeowners and businesses. Further, Schaumburg produced a Biodiversity Recovery Guide, including one for residents, and another for commercial and industrial development. It offers practical ways to control stormwater such as rain gardens and rainwater redirection. It helps homeowners landscape their property at lower costs and with greater benefits than traditional landscaping. It offers businesses ways to cut energy costs and manage overpopulations of Canadian geese. - more - '741 ; , ' = 2_ Theivisionary steps Schaumburg has taken are commendable and serve as a commonsense example of steps every Illinois community can - and should -take to promote biodiversity. As Chairman of the Illinois River Coordinating Council and organizer of the "Illinois Rain Garden Initiative", I encourage your community to adopt similar projects as the Village of Schaumburg. There are countless environmental, public health and economic benefits to using conservation design. In addition to preserving natural resources, you can reduce the costs of your municipal stormwater management while homeowners enjoy increased property values. Many Illinois school and other public buildings have recently joined my office's Rain Garden Initiative and already seen results. A rain garden is a low-cost, sensible solution to flooding by using wildflowers and grasses. (See www.RainGarden.il.gov.) It is just one "green" solution to many of the challenges facing cash-strapped municipal governments. There are various resources available to help you and your community become involved with natural landscaping, conservation design and biodiversity recovery. I hope that your community's city council or village board is willing to explore these innovative ideas and incorporate them into future development plans. For more information on how you can follow Schaumburg's example and become a leader both in Illinois and nationally in promoting environmentally conscious and sustainable communities, see the attached resource list or call Mercedes Lyson in my office at 312-814-5375, or via email at Mercedes Lyson(a�ltgov.state.il.us. Sincerely, Pat Quinn Lieutenant Governor P.S. Enclosed please find a resource list with contact information for people who can help you learn more about promoting biodiversity, a summary of Schaumburg's ordinance changes, and an article from the Chicago Tribune describing Schaumburg's initiatives. Highlights of Schaumburg's Biodiversity Recovery Project and a Summary of Ordinance Changes Introduction The Village of Schaumburg Planning Department worked with Village's consultant, Applied Ecological Services, on this two-part Biodiversity Project. The first component is the Biodiversity Recovery Plan which became an amendment to the Village Comprehensive Plan. The second component is a package of Municipal Code amendments that serve to implement the principles outlined in the proposed plan. Amendments to Village Comprehensive Plan The proposed amendments are the following Zoning, Subdivision Control, and Nuisance Code sections: a) Tree Preservation b) Landscape and Screening c) Wetland Overlay District d) Protection of Existing Trees, Landscaping, Parkway Grading, and Erosion Control e) Storm Sewer and Drainage Systems f) Weeds Declared Nuisance Among the changes are provisions to regulate and encourage the use of native plant species to foster biodiversity, minimize stormwater runoff, and mitigatebank erosion in waterways and retention ponds. Also proposed are "housekeeping" amendments which update existing code sections to correspond to existing practice. Municipal Code Amendments Incorporating Principles of Biodiversity In general, the changes made involve regulating, and encouraging where appropriate, the use of native plant species to foster biodiversity, minimize stormwater runoff, and mitigate bank erosion in waterways and retention ponds. Here is a brief description of the primary changes: • Tree Preservation: Revised to allow the Director of Planning to approve the removal of invasive tree species when the removal is part of an ecological restoration program. • Landscape and Screening: Revised to encourage landscape designs that promote sustainability, reduce irrigation requirement, and utilize effective on- site stormwater management techniques. This includes the addition of a section on Natural Landscaping, which provides guidance for the use of native vegetation in planned landscapes and details the requirements of the newly created natural landscape permit for single-family residence homeowners. Performance standards for permitted natural landscapes were developed to aid in the enforcement of ordinance requirements. The use of alternative stormwater management techniques, such as rain gardens, vegetated swales, filter strips, and wetlands have also been encouraged, while certain biodiversity techniques for retention ponds have been mandated. Another key change requires a wider area of foundation landscaping for taller buildings. Currently, ten feet of foundation landscaping is required for all buildings, regardless of the height of the building. The proposed change requires ten feet of landscaping for buildings up to three stories or thirty feet tall, with an increase of one foot in width for every ten feet in building height, up to twenty feet in width. • Wetland Overlay District:Additional natural resources were identified and analyzed through fieldwork, and changes expand the overlay district to include not just wetlands but all natural aquatic areas that could be harmed by insensitive development. • Protection of Existing Trees, Landscaping, Parkway Grading, and Erosion Control: The Erosion, Sedimentation, and Dust Control section of this ordinance was revised to take into account the latest most effective practices to filter and infiltrate runoff. As part of this, the preservation and restoration of natural watercourses, wetlands, and high quality natural areas is strongly • encouraged:Also:enceuraged are-alternative, ecologically sound stormwater.:. management strategies such as natural drainage measures, natural detention basins, natural landscaping, and reduced impervious surfaces. • Storm Sewer and Drainage Systems: The primary change revised the current requirement that all retention ponds utilize rip-rap or sod to act as shoreline protection. Sod alone performs poorly as slope stabilization, so the use of natural landscaping for slope stabilization was incorporated. Research has shown that the deeper roots of native landscape species perform well in the prevention of slope erosion or slumping, and also effectively filter silt and pollution. • Weeds Declared Nuisance: Ordinance now includes definition of noxious weeds per the Illinois Noxious Weed Law (505 ILCS 100). This definition was broadened to include exotic plant species and invasive exotic plant species. The section was amended to legitimize natural landscapes as legal, if the property owner received the proper approvals and performed the proper maintenance for natural landscaping as required by the Landscape Ordinance. Chicago Tribune Article Recognizing Schaumburg's Initiatives "Village Weighs Return to Roots" By Rachel Osterman, Tribune staff reporter Published April 23, 2004 Well-manicured lawns are a sight that suburbanites take for granted, and one that Schaumburg wants to see less frequently. In an effort to conserve water, attract wildlife and reduce pollution, the village is considering requiring commercial developers to plant tall-growing native grasses. Area environmentalists say Schaumburg may be the firstChicago-area community to try to write biodiversity into law. Schaumburg would also allow homeowners to landscape their back yards with so-called natural techniques, permitting prairie grasses to reach 12 inches. "It will provide a more naturalistic lancbcape that's better for the environment," said J. Christopher Huff, village director of planning, who helped craft the ordinance. The idea for the overhaul, which the Zoning. Board recommended last month, came after Village President Al Larson attended a presentation by Chicago Wilderness, an environmental group. The proposal goes to trustees for a final vote Tuesday. While individual companies have used native planting in their projects-two years ago Tellabs Inc. in Naperville devoted nearly half its 55acres to tallgrass prairie and other natural areas--Schaumburg appears to be the first community to require native planting on major plots, local officials and environmental experts said. DuPage County has similar rules for new retention ponds. There havenot been complaints from developers. "We believe that any way we can respect the natural areas are only to the benefit of all of us," said Richard.Welton,director of local government affairs for the Attainable Housing Alliance, which represents the home-building industry in northeast Illinois. "It's often costlier to maintain manicured lawns." It's unclear how many homeowners will take the village up on its natural landscaping offer. Committed naturalists already garden with native plants. A furtive few even let their grasses grow high, albeit in violation of code. Which means that the biggest impact will be on commercial developers. When they build or renovate, they will be required to use grasses, ferns and flowers native to Illinois. Another change:They won't be allowed to have more than a few evergreens, which are deemed toxic to prairie plants. Schaumburg, in essence, wants to roll back decadeslong practices in suburban planning that favor trimmed, green yards, an aesthetic pioneered in Riverside by Frederick Law Olmstead, a 19th Century landscape architect. Over time, an economic incentive developed too: When your neighbor's property is well-kept, you can count on higher property values. Schaumburg's proposal comes at a time when garden loversare rediscovering native plants. Dennis Wang, a computer system administrator and president of the Schaumburg Community Garden Club, has started to grow native species like purple coneflower and butterfly weed as other club members have introduced him to the concept. "It's a more natural beauty," he said. Even so, Wang said he has no plans to convert his back yard into a small prairie, as the new ordinance would allow. "It's very difficult. If I lived in a more wooded area, then it would fit in more," he said. Environmentalists have long bemoaned the concept of manicured yards. The drawbacks are well-documented. In most environments, including Illinois, turf grass isn't native, which means it doesn't provide a healthy habitat for insects and birds. The grass also requires constant watering, which critics say is wasteful. Pesticides needed to keep the grass green contaminate sewer systems. And the regulations that require trimmed. lawns.-in Schaumburg, they can be no taller than 6 inches--further fend off the native critters. The village's proposal won't change the face of Schaumburg. For one, front lawns will have to be kept short. Only in back yards would homeowners be allowed to introduce prairie grass. And they can do so only with a special permit,which village officials say will be cheap and relatively easy to obtain. Will the proposal make an environmental difference? Environmentalists say yes. The effect will be scattered patches of land that support animal life and cut down on pollution, theysay. Roughly 200 acres of Schaumburg can still be developed. "A lot of these little things add up," said Steward Pickett, an ecologist at the Institute of Ecosystem Studies in Millbrook, NY- _ Resource List For more information to learn how you can follow Schaumburg's example and become a leader both in Illinois, and nationwide in promoting environmentally conscious and sustainable communities, please contact: • Lieutenant Governor's Office—Mercedes Lyson at Mercedes Lyson@ltgov.state.il.us or call (312) 814-5375 • Northeastern Illinois Planning Commission (NIPC)—Irene Hogstrom at ireneh(anipc.orq or call (312) 454-0400 • Village,of Schaumburg—Martha Dooley at mdoolev@a,ci.schaumbu.rq.il.us or (847) 923-3855 In addition, the following website, maintained by NIPC, is an excellent resource which contains a wealth of information on biodiversity, natural landscaping, and sustainability (among other environmental initiatives), and is designed specifically for municipal and county officials, developers, and other decision makers: http://www.nipc.orq/environment/sustainable/ YO LLE RECREATION DEPARTMENT Superintendent's Monthly Report—Regular Park Board Meeting Feb. 14th,2005 -Meeting Month of January - 2005 Highlights and Summary: • I've been attending Polar Plunge meetings to help organize the event and the facility.

Everything is working out well, and I will be attending a church meeting to ask to continue the agreement for next school year.I will then bring the agreement to the Park Board for approval. • The program catalog was finished and distributed at the end of the month. The layout changed slightly to offer more assistance to the community, adding more information as far as community organizations and contact numbers. ■ We are offering quite a few new activities again this quarter;more toddler reading and exploratory classes, outdoor camp classes, and different theme classes.New this quarter we are offering a GPS nature series class for elementary age students. We are also offering a class to assist home school children with meeting their goals for their physical education, recreation requirements. ■ The staff at Beecher will be assisting the Youth Baseball Softball Association with late registrations in Feb. We have already received numerous calls asking for information. • Tim and I have been meeting with a committee to continue plans for the first Fine Arts Festival on June 25th. It would be great if we had some Park Board members present to answer questions and assist with the community information table!

Highlights: For the month of January preparations for the Spring Brochure, Fine Arts Festival and 2005 - 2006 Pre-School Registration took place. Also we held our annual Winter Family Fun Day on Sat. January 22 from 10am - 2pm. Many new classes were added to Spring Brochure, such as Knitting Club, Senior/Adult Casino Trip, Half-Day Out-of-School Discover Nature Series and much more, as we continue to expand and offer new and exciting classes to the brochure. Winter Family Fun Day event was once again a successful event despite heavy snow the night before. Over 50 families participated in a fun-filled day of arts & crafts, face painting, games and prizes. Thanks to the entire volunteer staff who made this event possible. As for the Fine Arts Festival, we have meet with two local artists who are going to sit on our Fine Art Festival Committee. Currently musicians are being selected to perform at the event, a flyer/application has been developed and handed out, interested artist are contacting us by phone and e-mail and we continue to meet and prepare for this event. Pre-school continues to be a nice addition to the Yorkville Parks and Recreation Department. Our biggest obstacle for the month of January was getting ready for next years registration, which is to take place on February 1, 2005 at the Beecher Center. Class Offerings for January, 2005 as of 2/31/05 • Sections for the month: 31 • Injury report: 1 • Program Exit Surveys Received: 10 Scholarships Awarded: 1 family received $47.50 for pre-school Exit Survey Summary: Ten exit surveys were received from the ABC's and 123's class. Overall the program met or exceeded expectations in the following areas: program content, organized and efficient, good rapport with students. There were a few comments on programs our customers would like to see in the future, "adult ceramic class" and "young rembrandts". Instructor Evaluations: We are doing our annual evaluations in February. • Becky Scheberl — Sports Classes, Sport Leagues, Fitness Classes, Clubs, Technology Program and Recreation Dept. Highlights: Basketball is in full swing. We have over 120 players in the Recreational Basketball league along with another 35 players in the 7th and 8th grade travel basketball program. All leagues are running smoothly, and will end mid March. New this season was the addition of All Star Sports programs. All Star Sports Inc. provides quality sports instruction to children of all ages in a fun, safe, and instructional manner. They instruct programs in the following areas; Soccer, Baseball, Softball, Football, Floor Hockey, Basketball, Volleyball, and Golf. They also focus on the areas of skill development, sportsmanship and teamwork. The transition has gone smoothly and in our first season (Winter 2005), all of our programs ran with 8-10 participants in each. Our Yoga and Pilate Classes are going strong. This season we added the Yoga/Pilates AM which is well attended with 8 participants. We are continuing to offer Kickboxing Classes with Tim Rochford, and he also has taken over our Karate Class due to Shotokan Karate withdrawing their services with us. Activity Club is going great, our instructor has done a fantastic job of incorporating the Character Counts program, along with offering activities that correspond with holidays. In the month of January they celebrated Martin Luther King Day by making a collage in which they drew or expressed what they would do if they could change one thing in the world. The collage was then displayed at the Winter Fun Day. Class Offerings for Feb. 2005 as of 2/15/04 ■ Sections for the month: 34 • Injury report: 0 (attach to Superintendent's copy) • Program Exit Surveys Received: 0 Scholarships Awarded: N/A Exit Survey Summary: All classes are ending in the month of February, a full report will accompany the next report in February. However, I have had many parents mention "how great the All Start Sports program is, and their child is really enjoying the class." Instructor Evaluations: I attended numerous basketball games to evaluate the coaches in each league. All the coaches are doing a great job relating to the kids, teach good sportsmanship and ensuring equal playing time for all players. Some concerns were brought up regarding playing time for 8th grade boys travel program, which have been addressed with the coach. Evaluations have also been conducted on the All Star Sports instructors. They also do a great job teaching the fundamentals of the sport with a fun and exciting curriculum. They relate well with the children, and express a true excitement for teaching.

I found myself in agreement with the editorial "Time to bring some city jobs in-house" in the Dec. 30 edition of the.Kendall County Record. It rightly points out that growth in this community requires the fiscally and logistically prudent person to replace"some outsourced consulting services with dedicated in-house staff. Though a number of such positions were anecdotally identified in the editorial and in city council discussions, I would like to focus on the position of park planner.The Yorkville Park Board and staff diligently studied the pros and cons of such;a change and more .than .adequately substantiated the need to implement this change by identifying need; utilization, and savings ($70,0.00 in the first year and$130,000 the year after). Yes,I read the reasons for the dissent of three council members. if you will allow me to be to boil down two columns of newspaper print, the reason for the dissent seems to be"we want a city planner first".I fully support the council's desire to re-source services where prudent. I encourage them to perform the studies, reviews, utilization,and general due diligence that the park board and staff performed. There is no real organizational dilemma.The argument seems to be that a park planned requires the oversight of a city planner. In reality, these , are two distinct and very different roles. Though your family physician and your pet's veterinarian possess medical degrees, I doubt you would feel comfortable having your veterinarian remove your appendix. The same holds true for the park planner and the city planner. It is not appropriate to have a park planner design city facilities of a city planned design park facilities. - The bottomline is this;AldermanValerie Burd(ward 2), Marty Munns (ward 3), and Rose Spears (ward 4) voted to send $130,000 in fiscal year 2005 out of the community unnecessarily. Those constituents who are calling the aldermen to.question a $60 expense to provide logo apparel to city employees orr the loss of open,space and greenways need to contact those same aldermen,to ask why they would vote to spend tens of thousands of-dollars"a year on consulting services rather - than'creating, retaining, and maintaining park land. Unfortunately, government law stipulates that only a dissenting alderman can introduce the park.planner for reconsideration. if you are serious about preserving Yorkville's open space or fiscal prudence,please contact Aldermen Burd (vburd@yorkville.il.us), Munns (mmunns@yorkville.il.us),. and Spears (rspears@ yorkviIle.il us):and-ask them to introduce reconsideration of the position"of parks planner. VAN L.TRUMAN Park Board Commissioner Yorkville Responds to park_board member... Indeed we must follow proper planning guidelines as record growth confronts Yorkville. In response to Mr. Truman's comments-Webster defines planning as "to devise or project the realization or achievement of a plan. Question,how can you accomplish the master plan , without direction from the corporate authority in charge of overall city planning? Too many times we have the tail wagging the dog and we need to do things in proper order.First things first:' To Mr. Truman's comments in the Record last week regarding our.decision to not approve the park planner's position out of order, without us first hiring the department head that would be responsible for all city planning;. Mr. Truman do you realize that the United City of Yorkville's park board is set up as an advisory board to'make recommendations? And when you don't get your way is publicly criticizing elected officials a proper forum? And before you start publicizing my contact information, which for four years has been public knowledge, I suggest maybe you attempt to personally contact me for discussion on issues.And as a side bar, no one has contacted me regarding this issue yet. Furthermore when I cast a vote on an issue I do seriously consider feedback from area residents and factor-in my information before deciding. Keep in mind we are all United City of Yorkville residents and my job is to represent the voice of ward 3 residents. I don't care if we are discussing a large budget item;or a$60 item as you put it,"I dotake residents feedback seriously. If you go further and look up City Planning in Webster's, it is defined'as, "drawing up of an organized arrangement(as'of streets,parks, etc., of a city)".Notice that parks are listed under city planning as it should be? Our fair city is growing at astounding rates and we must stick to the plan and methodically move forward according to a plan,-not just jump around when the newest and latest fad hits us. And -when you start to compare Doctors to Veterinarians(which I'have absolutely.no idea what that means),what are you trying to say? You are the doctor and I-am the vet?Or as you so eloquently put it in your article,that I am not prudent and you are diligent MARTY MUNNS Ward 3 Alderman United City of Yorkville City-planner-should bepriority... I would like to respond to some of the comments from { Mr.Truman's letter of Feb 3. Fist I don't believe th Mr. Truman understood.the discussion that"took into consideration the proposed park planner position. What the descending aldermen were discussing was the need for a planning department,which would include a park planner as well. The "organizational dilemma" as he called it, is the building of such a department and staff hiring. The future of the city depends on good planning, and that includes'-,the structure--of, how--the-departments are assembled .We as.aldermen,have the responsibilityof;, the whole city not-just the•.parks.-And yes:that also means setting policy for wearing,apparel. Each'and_,every elected official appreciates the time and discretion of the people who serve on these advisory boards. And we,value their judgments as well,-so when the boards send us a recommendation it is then discussed ` and sometimes more can be leaned before those recommendations are acted on. ' The city can benefit from hiring a city planner first to ' start the department and as always department heads have the,ability to present the need for;additional staff. So in closing I would like to say the position of park planner is needed and'we know that. But with the rapid growth of the city, acity planner'who would be the department head is the obvious'priority. °- JOSEPH BESCO • Ward 4 Alderman • Planner issue not simple... I am writing in response" to the letter sent in by Park Board,Commissioner Van L. Truitan. I wish he. had takenthetime to contact any one of the four alderman who did not voteinfavor of a park planner to discover what was behind our vote. I would have been happy to discuss the issue with him in detail. Although this may • seem like a simple issue to him, when you take a step back and look at it on the city-wide level,things are not as simple.as they appear. Mr. Truman, from his letter, says that the Park Board has diligently investigated the issue and come up with the idea that by hiring a Park Planner, the city can save • $130,000 annually. Mr.Truman,four of the City Council members did not vote for this (one voted present). After doing my own investigation,I discovered: 1. Only a part of the salary of the Park Planner- the part that is directly attributable to a specific project- can be paid from land cash funds,so the savings will not be as great as first indicated. 2. When you consider a salary of$55,000, you must also consider the benefits that will be paid out. Once again,the savings decrease. 3. When hiring, you must consider the work load. While there are a lot of parks now in the offing,this may be only a short-term situation. When I asked'what this Park Planner would do if there were no parks to plan, I '. was told "He could be moved up into the City Planner position." 4. The executive director of Parks and Recreation would be the one interviewing candidates for this position, and making the final recommendation.I would prefer that the City Planner be handling these interviews and making the recommendation to the City Council. Every argument that was made for hiring a Park Planner could be made for hiring a City Planner. On investigation, it became apparent that we have dropped the ball on this issue Relying on advice from staff, we have continued to hire a consultant, whenit now becomes clear we should have had a City Planner at least a year ago. Qualified people I have•now questioned on the issue tell me they don't know what we have been thinking to let this go on so long. A qualified City Planner is desperately needed. We have more than 50 subdivisions in some stage of development at this time. I would rather hire a highly qualified City Planner, who would have a more global View,of what;:the needs are for the;entire City,than have 1 the Parks and Recreation Department hire a park planner who might somehow find him or herself overseeing all thecity planning.Why be sq "back door,"about such an important position?
