Cook County Forest Preserve District Board Meeting - May 21, 2019 

What did the Board Decide?
  • Approved the issuance of (not to exceed) $8,500,000.00 General Obligation Limited Tax Bonds of the Forest Preserve District. Passed unanimously.
  • Approved replacement of sixteen vehicles due to age and condition. Two will be outfitted with hybrid electric engines and fourteen will have dual fuel tank capability (propane/unleaded gas). This purchase will support the Forest Preserves sustainability goals and reduce greenhouse gas production. Eight Police Utility Interceptor vehicles were also approved for replacement. 
Three Intergovernmental Agreements were approved:
  1. An agreement to share stream and detention basin data collected in the North Branch Chicago             River Watershed for use in an update of the North Branch Chicago River Watershed-Based Plan.
  2. An agreement  with the University of Illinois for professional services to assist Forest Preserves in implementation of Climate Resiliency Plan and the Net Zero GHG Emissions goal. 
  3. An agreement with the Illinois Department of Natural Resources to accept an Open Space Land Acquisition & Development grant  of $673,900.00 with a local match of $673,900.00 for improvements at the Sand Ridge/Shabbona/Green Lake Nature Campus. This grant will fund nature-based building and site improvements to support development of a cohesive campus that will welcome and orient new visitors.
General Superintendent Arnold Randall shared the Summer 2019 Proposed Calendar of Events with the Board.       

Meeting Length: 90 minutes (including meetings of Rules, Finance, Real Estate & Law Enforcement Comm.)
