Wow,

This is a new addition to the Glen Ellyn Park District website:

Park Board Packet for 7/21 Meeting

Lots of great info there.
Definitiely a positive development. I hope there is an intent to publicly archive this material so that it remains accessible without each individual having to download and save.

Coupla thought from a very quick scan:

Well, if there were any doubts as to whether i would ever darken the doors of the Ackerman Temple, $300 pretty much resolves that question.

I like the memo beginning on page 50. Trustee Creech requested a survey of facility usage. PD staff wants to know what this info is going to be used for, says they know all they need to know about facility usage, and don't care to comply with the trustee's request. Maybe I'll try that tack next time my boss gives me an assignment!

What? You got an objection to a nice little boondoggle? Who WOULDN'T like to spend a few days in SLC on someone else's dime?

Yeah, it impresses me as total BS, and not what I wish my tax dollars to be spent on. But I suspect that in comparison to the bucks the PD raked in from the recent ref and are tossing at the Ackerman resort, it is the smallest of drops in a quite sizeable bucket.
