Opening Day for Cook County Forest Preserve  Permits Changed to November 15

10/17/2018

0 Comments

 
Cook County Forest Preserve District Board Meeting -  October 16, 2018

What did the Board Decide:

  • Agreed to move the opening day for permits from January to November to accommodate folks planning events in 2019, more mild weather in November than January, and some folks have less cash after the holidays than in November.
  • Board approved a 3 year, competitive bid contract for Billy Casper Golf, from Virginia, to staff and manage better coverage for park golf and pavilion facilities.  Forest Preserve staff were unable to meet all the demands from constituents.
  • Wampum Lake and Thornton-Lansing Road Preserves were elevated to Nature Preserve status which is the highest level of protection and indicate important natural and cultural significance. 
  • An agreement was renewed with University of Illinois Prairie Research Institute to continue research in Cook County Forest Preserves.

Observer - Laura Davis                    Meeting Length : 11am until around 3pm. With a 1/2 hour lunch break
