October 19, 2011 Park District Staff with City Staff and Burke Engineering Meeting

City of Elmhurst staff requested a meeting to inform the Park District staff that Burke Engineering was hired to propose flooding solutions for the City, and that the initial thoughts included potentially utilizing some parks as stormwater detention areas.  York Commons, Pioneer Park, Wild Meadows Trace, Seminole Park, Golden Meadows and East End Park were identified.  The discussions were very preliminary in nature.  Initial drawings with grading identified were shared with staff for initial feedback.   It was mentioned that a report from Burke Engineering would be completed and presented at a future Park/City/School meeting.
