Crystal Lake Park Board Will Meet One Time Each Month

Crystal Lake Park Board decided on a change in meeting dates at Thursday's Board meeting. Instead of meeting two times in the month, the first and third Thursday, the Board will meet only on the Third Thursday of the month. The necessary action was taken to change the Park District Policy Manual regarding regular meetings of the Board.

The usual location of the meeting will remain at the Crystal Lake Park District Administration Offices, or at any other appropriate location as determined by the Park Board Commissioners. The beginning time of the meetings will remain as 7:30 p.m. There is also provision that if the third Thursday falls on a holiday, the meeting date will be moved to the fourth Thursday of the month or on another day designated by the Board.

In other matters, the 2011 Summer Brochure was approved for printing by the lowest responsible bidder, KK Stevens of Astoria, IL to print the 104 page document plus cover for $13,093.37.

Some of the fees charged by the Park District will be increasing slightly. However, there are a few that are decreasing. The proposed Racket Club Fee Increases are mostly 50 cents to $1. Fees for private lesson, travel team drill, junior outdoor league and outdoor group lesson increases were more sizable. The rational for this is because they are currently under priced.

Entering into the decision is the fact that during the last few years, the membership as dwindled partly due to the economy and partly to the addition of a Health Bridge indoor facility installed by Del Webb in Huntley. Those residing in that subdivision do not pay a membership fee. Plus the location is in the back yard of the residents.

Park District Vehicle stickers will remain free through April 30, but beginning  May 1 the cost will be $10.
