Forest Preserve District Board of Cook County Approves Agenda Items in Record Time

Forest Preserve District of Cook County Board Meeting - April 24, 2018

What did the Board decide?  
Approved the following: 

• Partnerships with various groups for habitat volunteer work
• A contract for drug testing
• A contract for  satisfaction surveys
• Renewal of a contract for  media services
• Contract amendments for landscaping, and professional services

What else did the Board discuss or refer to committee? 
There were multiple committee meetings before the scheduled Board meeting including Workman’s Compensation, Rules, Finance, Real Estate (for a Metropolitan Water Reclamation District license renewal request for a pumping station) and Finance Subcommittee on Litigation.


Other Observations:
The Board meeting actually started 45 minutes late due to the length of the Consent Calendar Meeting of the Cook County Board which included resolutions and awards for a variety of groups (the Loyola Mens Basketball team, Sexual Assault Awareness Month, National Service Day, Autism Awareness Month, Westchester Food Pantry etc.) This was then followed by the quick moving committee meetings listed above.
