Public Dialogue Opportunities and Procedures:

How can the public find out what is going on at the Park District?
The Glenview Park District maintains a web site at www.GlenviewParks.org that provides background on the district, current programs and meeting agendas. A file of background material for the meetings is available at the park district Administrative Office, 1930 Prairie St. and at the Glenview Public Library, 1930 Glenview Rd. The Glenview Park District Guide, a catalog of upcoming seasonal program offerings, is mailed to all residents of the district four times a year in February, May, July, and November and other information of public interest is covered in special flyers from time to time. The Glenview Village Newsletter at times announces special and/or joint efforts. The park board conducts public hearings from time to time to discuss specific topics such as playground renovations. There are also Bulletin Boards at each park district facility to alert the public to upcoming events.

How can the public express opinions or share facts with the Board of Commissioners and staff?
The public can write the district at 1930 Prairie St. or send an e-mail to info@GlenviewParks.org. The public is also invited to attend the monthly Glenview Park District public meeting at 7 pm on the fourth Thursday of each month at Park Center, 2400 Chestnut Ave. in the Glen. Anyone interested in making comments or asking questions at a regular park board or park board committee meeting should indicate this by signing a comment card and indicating that you would like to speak or have your comment read.

Agenda items are introduced by the Park District Committee Chair with background information presented by the committee members and staff. Committee reports on action are considered a seconded motion. Any items for which there are public comment cards will be addressed and the public called on following Commissioner discussion. Once all public comments have been addressed, the discussion will return to the Commissioner level for any additional discussion, motion adjustment and formal action.

How can the public stay informed about the Board of Commissioners' actions?
As open, public meetings there is press coverage of the monthly business meetings. A "Meeting Highlights" summary report of actions taken is produced as soon as possible following each meeting. It can be found online, in the file at the park district office and at the Library. An archive of meeting agendas, highlights and minutes is also available on this website by clicking on Meeting Archives above. The President's Message that appears in the District's quarterly publication and can be viewed by clicking on the President’s Message link above also goes into depth on selected topics.
