Staff: Maria Cumpata, Barb Keselica, Greg Hulke, Verdelle Corn
Guests: Matthew Downing, Jim Reuter
t. Call to Order: Carl Missele called the meeting to order at 6:02 p.m. As there were four
members in attendance, this meeting did not have a quorum. Agenda topics were not
voted on and will be addressed at the next advisory board meeting.
Maria introduced guests Matthew Downing and Jim Reuter who completed applications
to serve on the Parks and Recreation Advisory Board and were present to observe the
meeting.
II. Minutes of the November 29, 2018 meeting: No vote was called due to lack of quorum.
Citizens Forum: None.
IV. Youth Sport Groups' Updates: Maria Cumpata, Greg Hulke, Wayne Carlstedt and Andy
Dogan met December 3 to review requests presented at the October board meeting.
$50,000 is available to be awarded for 2019.
Maria noted that BMX supplied information on costs for the curves on the track to be
asphalted.
C
150 Dexter Court,Elgin,IL 60120 847-931-6100 www.cityofelgin.org
Elgin Youth Football (EYF) had requested$5,200 to put additional heat in their concession
building. Andy inquired when and how the additional heating would be used. The
additional heat would not help the washrooms, winterizing of the building would still
need to be done each year, and it will not help the basement where there are freezing
issues. What it would do is make one or two meetings over the winter a little warmer.
For these reasons we passed on approving the funding for EYF's additional heating at a
cost of$5,200.
The port-a-let enclosure at Elgin National Little League we included in their estimate to
add a concrete pad. It looks much nicer and makes it a lot easier for Waste Management
when they are servicing those units.
Elgin Men's Baseball had several estimates for doing warning tracks on their fields on both
the sidelines of their fields and the outfield. Maria asked them to break out those
estimates to see if we could get just the outfields done on a couple fields or maybe an
outfield and a sideline on one field and an outfield on a second field. In discussing options
with staff,we decided it would be best to complete one field. The $7,000 is to complete
both the sidelines and the outfield warning tracks on the big field (Field #1).
BMX's estimate was broken out into a two-year program and a one-year program to
resurface the asphalt track turns. There is cost savings with the one-year program;
therefore, Maria proposed that$18,850 be covered through this grant if BMX could cover
the remainder and complete the resurfacing in one year. If agreed, the $18,850 would
have to be approved by the Parks and Recreation Advisory Board. BMX guaranteed they
could do that. The total cost was around $22,000 with $18,850 coming from the city's
2019 grant.
The Board asked if approval of the 2019 Athletic Facility Improvement grant allocations
can have a motion be done electrically,followed by an electronic vote. Maria will follow
up with the city clerk.
Parks and Recreation Advisory Board Term Limits: Maria Cumpata noted we have two
individuals present who have filled out applications for a board member position. There
is also one position for a student representative on the board. Three students completed
applications. One of those students declined noting he is not available, one was going to
be at tonight's board meeting, and the third communicated that he could not attend this
evening and hopes to attend the next board meeting.
Maria summarized the changes to the Municipal Code regarding how members of boards
and commissions term limits are calculated. Members are limited to a maximum term of
six years on the same board and an additional six years as chairman on the same board.
When filling an unexpired term the years being filled are not included in the overall six
years on the same board. The limitation does not apply to a member who continues to
serve until their successor has been appointed and qualified.
V. Miscellaneous/Other: Fred Moulton inquired if Parks and Recreation offered a drop-in
site for seniors for coffee. It was noted that the Rakow Center, Dundee Township Park
150 Dexter Court,Elgin,II 60120 847-931-6100 www.cityofelgin.org
District has an age 50 and over social club that is free to all regardless of residence
location.

can make the March 20 Council meeting for final approval. If approved, Maria will
notify the leagues reminding them that we still need final approval from City Council at

MOTION: Carl Missele moved to approve the February 26, 2019 minutes and Chin

Ill. Citizens Forum: None.
IV. Sherman Hospital Property: Eric summarized: In 2015 a portion of the hospital
property was put up for sale. The property was the area south of the building, which
contained a parking lot. There was not much interest from developers, although the
hospital and Northeast Neighborhood Association (NENA) reconnected and has resulted
in more communication between the association and the hospital. More recently the
hospital, which still has two buildings on the northeast property, is auctioning their
property and the process is to be completed on May 23. One of the challenges in selling
the property is that the property is zoned for hospitals and medical use. If the intended
use made commercial sense to the purchaser, the purchaser could request rezoning of
the property.
Maria asked if the hospital has shared with NENA what the hospital will do with the
buildings and property if it does not sell. Currently, the hospital is non-committal
150 Dexter Court, Elgin, II 60120 847-931-6100 www.cityofelgin.org
regarding donating the property. The parking lot on the south side of Slade Avenue has
the foundations of houses torn down to create the parking lot. In 2015 it would have
been estimated at around $1M to remove the asphalt, residential foundations and any
subsequent pipes, etc., in order to make ready the property for a park development.
V. Slade Avenue Bike Path: Maria provided background on the project for new board
members. The boat ramp and bike path intersect. For safety reasons, the plan is to move
the bike path east and away from the boat launch and parking spaces. Greg Hulke
provided a summary of the project budgeted at $25,000, which may not be enough to
cover the costs. The drive is to be asphalted. Greg will follow up with the Water
Department Director.
VI. Festival Park Playground: Greg noted the work was planned to be completed by May 15,
but due to the weather the last two weeks the completion may be delayed.
Approximately 75 percent is completed.
VII. Festival Park Fountain: Greg also provided status on the fountain at Festival Park. The
quote is in on the splash pad. The controller doesn't work. Internal components are to
be replaced, which will fix the problem with an anticipated two years life span. It is a
band-aid remedy while we look for options for a full revamp of the structure.
VIII. July is Parks and Recreation Month: Each year a proclamation is read at Council towards
the end of June for "July is Parks and Recreation Month." This year's theme is Game On,
and Parks and Recreation Department will have activities and events during the month of
July.
IX. Kids to Parks Day— May 18: A proclamation will be read at the May 8 council meeting.
Kids to Parks Day is an initiative to get kids out to parks. Staff hold a scavenger hunt at
Hawthorne Hill Nature Center.
Eric Larson inquired if there is anything neighborhoods can do or participate in Kids to
Parks Day or other events. Maria agreed neighborhoods participating is great and
suggested organizing for July is Parks and Recreation Month, especially since the theme
is games. Maybe neighborhood organizations can host an activity in July. Downtown
Neighborhood Association (DNA), South West Area Neighborhood (SWAN), Gifford Park
Association (GPA), NorthEast Neighborhood Association (NENA), and Near West are
organizations meet regularly to support what DNA is doing that rolls out to
neighborhoods bordering downtown Elgin. Barb Keselica will follow up with Jen of DNA
and Eric Larson communicated that NENA could take a leadership role
organizing/coordinating the neighborhood activities.
X. Meeting Schedule: Maria noted that the past few years the board was busy with
Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) projects. This year that is not the case and
is not as busy. Our City Clerk stated that we can choose to change the meeting schedule.
- Maria suggests the board meet every other month for the remainder of the year and
asked for feedback.
150 Dexter Court,Elgin, IL 60120 847-931-6100 www.cityofelgin.org
( - No issues were raised by members of the board; although Eric asked for confirmation
on whether the board and staff can status through emails.
- Carl Missele suggested the board keep the summer tour of parks and the meeting in
October for youth sport organizations annual meeting with board and staff.
- Tentatively meetings will be held in June, August and October.
- Maria will follow with the city clerk and get back to the board.
XI. Miscellaneous/Other:
- Elgin Parks and Recreation Foundation is holding a Golden Memories event on Walton
Island at the nature center on May 18, 2-4 p.m.
- Park Projects: We have punch list items on the Sports Complex and Abbott Park
playgrounds that were started last year. Other than that there no other park projects
this year.
- Expansion of Elgin Sports Complex is not in the 2019 budget and will submit again for
2020 budget.
- Master Plan update is not in the 2019 budget and will try again for 2020.
- We do have the three-year plan that Parks and Recreation submitted last year as a
park replacement next year and another the following year. Those are Randall Ridge
Park and Millennium Park.
- Fred Moulton recommended the board look at budget and have a strategy session
during a board meeting to support Parks and Recreation's priorities. Board members
can then influence and advocate priorities and needs gathering support from decision
makers.
XII. Adjournment:
MOTION: Carl Missele moved to adjourn the meeting. Matt Downing seconded. Motion
carried unanimously. Meeting adjourned at 7:00 p.m.

r
150 Dexter Court,Elgin,IL 60120 847-931-6100 www.dtyofeigin.org
VII. North Country Knolls Property Owners Association Request (NCKPOA): NCKPOA
requests the rental fee be waived for use of the Hawthorne Hill Nature Center(HHNC) on
August 6 during National Night Out. Many of the members of NCKPOA volunteer at HHNC
and grounds surrounding the Nature Center as well as support HHNC in a variety of ways.
MOTION: Andy Dogan motioned the Board approve the waiver of fees for NCKPOA's
August 6th rental of Hawthorne Hill Nature Center for the National Night Out Against
Crime gathering. Marino Lamantia seconded. Motion unanimously approved.
VIII. Miscellaneous/Other:
- Fred Moulton inquired if there was anything that needed to be done this year on Jack
E. Cook Park. Maria reported that just last week she met with the Mayor, City
Manager and Monica Meyers of Forest Preserve District of Kane County to talk to her
about the Kane County side of the property. A conference call is set up with
Smithgroup 1JR, which is the firm that designed the work done on our side of the
property to discuss them providing a proposal for a cost estimate on what it would
cost to start the planning process for that side of the property. Kane County is looking
to get something done. The original concept plan for that part of the property
included an outdoor amphitheater and other elements that the soils cannot support.
The plan that is attached to the Kane County agreement includes a natural area,
walking paths, future pond. Soccer fields are being used for soccer, lacrosse, rugby
and a couple of dog Frisbee contests. We are very diligent on how much the soccer
fields are used. Because there is no water on the site we cannot overuse the fields.
- Fred was asked to inquire about the drinking fountain at St. Francis Park. Greg Hulke
noted that it was originally not installed properly. Greg is meeting with the plumber
soon to repair the fountain.
- Carl noted that once a month Hawthorne Hill Nature Center (HHNC) has a work day.
Recently NTN Bearing sent 15 employees out to the HHNC. They worked from 9:00
a.m. until noon. They were incredibly good workers. We covered a lot of territory
with wood chips although there are a lot of trails still need to be wood chipped. What
comes up once in a while is that we get all these volunteers that we track. First have
to sign a liability waiver and we track their hours that have to be turned in to you
essentially. How do we use those hours? Maria noted that there are different
applications that volunteer hours are used for. Volunteer hours are tracked quarterly.
Our big volunteer hits are Hawthorne Hill Nature Center and our youth sport programs
such as youth basketball and youth soccer that have a huge number of volunteers.
We have a variety of volunteers that help with special events. JP Morgan Chase
provides volunteers for a variety of events we do such as our annual dance recital and
Illinois Brews @ Bowes Creek. Volunteer hours we track are used for when we apply
for grants that often ask for volunteer hours. At budget time when we talk about
different programs and facilities we often highlight the volunteer hours logged for
those areas.
150 Dexter Court,Elgin,IL 60120 847-931-6100 www.cityofelgin.org
- Andy Dogan,who lives west of Randall Road,wanted to thank Land Management and
Greg for the quick action taken at Heritage Park. A couple weeks ago there was an
incident at the park where some kind of hate speech was scrawled into some benches.
A couple people called 311 and it was addressed right away.
