Representatives from the Elmhurst Park District, City of Elmhurst, and School District 205 were in attendance along with engineers from Burke Engineering and V3 Engineering.
A review of potential opportunities for mutual cooperation between the three parties took place, especially with regards to southwest Elmhurst, York Commons Park and Madison School.
Specific discussion took place concerning the available storage in the proposed east and west basins at York Commons in comparison to the documented need.
Additionally, clarification was provided as to how the Eldridge Reservoir, with 50 acre feet of remaining storage, can be part of the solution.
The committee discussed possible future uses of the land that Madison School occupies should the school move to a new location at some point in the future.. This concept would be dependent upon long-term enrollment projections, which District 205 has yet to study for this particular school.
Burke also provided updated drawings for York Commons per V3's request for additional technical information following the July 8, 2014 subcommittee meeting.
City representatives noted that within two to four weeks a report will go before the City Council for the approval of two prioritized projects for each of the Parks and Schools along with proposed funding.
The need to review an Intergovernmental Agreement draft was also discussed.
