PROPOSED AMENDMENTS TO CHAPTER II OF THE CODE OF THE CHICAGO PARK DISTRICT

 

BODY

 

To the Honorable Board of Commissioners of the Chicago Park District:

 

I.                      Recommendation

 

It is recommended that the Board of Commissioners approve the proposed amendments to Chapter II of the Code of the Chicago Park District.

 

 

II.                     Explanation

 

Chapter 70 ILCS 1505/7.02 enables the Board of Commissioners to “establish by ordinance all needful rules and regulations for the government and protection of parks.” Therefore, it is recommended that the Board of Commissioners approve the proposed amendments to Chapter II to update the report process for the Chicago Park District’s Office of the Inspector General and to include recent amendments to the Open Meetings Act regarding remote attendance. The proposed amendments are set forth in full in the enclosed Exhibit A.

 

The Chicago Park District did not receive any public comments in response to the proposed amendments.

 

The General Superintendent recommends that the Board approve the amendments to Chapter II of the Code as set forth in Exhibit A to the Ordinance.

 

Upon final approval, the General Counsel shall review, prepare and publish electronic copies of the Code of the Chicago Park District that have been revised by reason of these amendments.
