Cook County Forest Preserve District Board Meeting - October 24, 2017

Honoring Dr. Rabb:
The Board adopted a resolution in memory of Dr. George B. Rabb, PhD., former president and president emeritus of the Chicago Zoological Society. Dr. Rabb died on July 27, 2017 after a distinguished career. Much of his work was at the Brookfield Zoo where he developed innovative approaches to the science of animal care and welfare, education and conservation. 
Several commissioners spoke about the work of Dr. Rabb in glowing terms.

Significant Decisions Made:

  • The Board approved an amendment to its agreement with the Chicago Botanic Garden regarding the plants of concern program which identifies and monitors rare plant species.
  • The Board approved an agreement with Park Ridge regarding right of entry onto Forest Preserve property to perform storm water outflow maintenance and improvements. The work would improve water flow and mitigate storm water related issues throughout the Preserve and in adjacent communities.
  • The Board approved an intergovernmental agreement with the University of Illinois College of Veterinary Medicine for wild life pathology and diagnostic services.
  • The Board approved an amended slate of committee, Chair and Vice Chair assignments.

Significant Topics Discussed and/or Referred to Committee: 
  • The FY 2018 Executive Budget was received and referred to the Finance Committee.
  • A proposed ordinance on parking regulations was referred to the Finance Committee.

Other Observations:
  • At the end of the agenda was a comprehensive list of upcoming events in the Forest Preserve.
