Future Agenda Item
Commissioner Ubriaco received feedback from residents that they are being informed by the City that the City will seek out the Park District’s cooperation in resolving stormwater problems. Commissioner Ubriaco clarified that the Park District is receptive and ready to discuss and solve the issues surrounding stormwater with the City, but the District has yet to be formally approached.
Executive Director Rogers added that Burke Engineering has updated its preliminary report and asked Park District staff to review and report any discrepancies. Staff pointed out some of the maps were inaccurate as park updates were not exhibited on the maps. The maps have been updated again and both City and Park District staff plan to meet again to review changes with the anticipation that shortly after, the City will present a plan to the Park Board.
Commissioner Howard suggested a write up be developed by the three government entities informing residents of its status on addressing stormwater issues.
The Board further discussed the April 18, 2013 storm damage to properties in Elmhurst, misinformation received by residents, and the urgency required to address stormwater retention.
