Come One, Come All to the Park Board Meeting - May 12, 2010!

Here is the agenda for the Wednesday night's park board meeting. Click them to enlarge.

It is ridiculous that we have to post this online because the park board and their honcho Katherine Parker refuse to do so, even though it is a law. You can read the law for yourself here:
http://www.ilga.gov/legislation/ilcs/ilcs3.asp?ActID=84&ChapAct=5 ILCS 120/&ChapterID=2&ChapterName=GENERAL+PROVISIONS&ActName=Open+Meetings+Act.&Print=True%20)  (5 ILCS 120/2.02) (from Ch. 102, par. 42.02) 

The July 4th Celebration Issues ought to be a good discussion. Let's see if K.P. and the P.B. kissed and made up with the Village of Burr Ridge.

Don't expect the board to approve the closed meeting minutes because those are the meetings in which the board discussed terminating Roz and the stolen stationary incident as well as the forged document to a court of law to satisfy a community service debt owed by commissioner Pettrone's son for breaking the law.

Here are some of the excuses you might hear about why they will not cannot approve the minutes:

• "What closed meeting minutes?"
• "The tapes were accidentally erased," in a similar fashion to board president Brad Martin's July 14th speech when it was requested via the FOIA.
• "The need for confidentiality still exists," because after all, they are talking about a crime that was committed by one of their very own. 
• "We inherited the closed meeting minutes from a previous board."
• "The Chalet parking lot is full every night!"

The good news about the meeting will be that a new board president will be elected. Let's hope whoever they pick will actually show up to meetings, answer emails or questions and serve the public instead of themselves.
