The Stormwater Subcommittee meetings are open to the public and available for viewing on the City of Elmhurst website.
Approximately 35 residents attended the meeting and 13 spoke during public comment. The Elmhurst Park District expressed appreciation to the City for approving the extension of the Maintenance Facility lease, while also indicating that the Park District could not, at this point in time, agree to incorporating East End, Wild Meadows Trace/Pioneer and Crestview parks into an agreement because they have not been vetted by the Park Board. The Park District explained that they understood the spirit of what was being suggested and that the best way to proceed was to begin developing an IGA while simultaneously discussing the three other sites. The City was also informed that the Park District was not interested in having any recreational components included in the plans for York Commons due to the need to first see how the stormwater basin functions and how frequently it takes on water. As regards to Golden Meadows Park, the Park District indicated their willingness to work cooperatively with the City in discussions with the IDNR. There were no discussions about the other sites.
