At one of the prior Village Board meetings, we ,~~= 3 ~~ reviewed the concept plan for the golf course community planned for our northwest. Subsequently, the developer, Pasquinelli/Moser, reviewed the concept with the Plan ,, Commission.

At the last committee of the Whole, the Staff was directed to place this ~t ~~~~ ~ item on the Agenda. Some of the issues include: ~~ a) Defining "parkland". Presently, the Staff has been trying to define wet spaces as only 50% of the required open space. However, this concept needs to be codified by '~ ordinance if that is the Board's direction. b) What properties should be Village owned and what properties should be Park District? c) As we abut Naperville or Oswego, do we want to dedicate properties to those Districts or to the Plainfield District? 530 W.

Since this time last year discussions have been held with the Village of Oswego regarding a formal boundary agreement. Attached is a draft of the agreement reached at the Administrator level.

Burghazd, Village Administrator Date: September 3, 1998 Subject: Park District Lease Enclosed is a draft of a basic lease prepazed by me and offered to the Park District at an administrative meeting on September 2nd. This meeting was attended by Michelle Kelly, Greg Batt, Trustee Stalzer and myself. Mr. Bott and I thought it appropriate to schedule a small group discussion attempting to identify current directions and policies prior to our Park Committee meeting with the District. This meeting will have to be "noticed" under the Open Meeting Act, although we can go into Executive Session under "land acquisition". No date has been set for that meeting and we are awaiting for the District's response to the draft lease. The Village and the Park District are headed for a serious collision. Our appazent current policy of having parklands deeded to the Village is a distinct change from prior policy and the current subdivision ordinance. While we have done this without formal public hearings, all our actions have been in a public setting at official meetings and is legal. I have scheduled as part of the September 14 Workshop, a portion of the meeting to discuss the so-called "Joliet" dedication ordinance. You received the bulk of that material with your agenda last week. - The public and the press will watch diligently as each jurisdiction struggles with the issue of ownership, i.e. CONTROL. That, is the underlying substance of the issue. Will future residents of the Village of Plainfield have ownership and control of their parklands? The Park District will ask, "Why do they need that?" We will respond that continued growth in the township will override the Plainfield Village population; and hence, control will rest outside our electoral base. This is the essential thread of the conversation that occurred at the September 2nd meeting. All the other side issues are, in my opinion, non-essential and spurious. If we cannot soon find a compromise that is in the community's interest, then there will be substantial public and political fallout for both jurisdictions. ~. C` The Park District has a significant referendum this fall. How will this issue and its debate affect that referendum? We have local election next Spring. is this the kind of issue upon which to base an election? Do other issues of this Village suffer as a consequence? I don't have answers to such questions; I sense however, a looming battle with each side digging in its heels and not working towards a compromise. The lease draft is an attempt to see if compromise is in fact achievable. The Village would retain underlying ownership; the Park District would plan and operate the individual parks. There are numerous intermediate conditions and situations needing work and analysis, but the principle of compromise is there. Mr. Stalzer and I asked the District to respond to us in the next few weeks. I think they will do so privately. If they choose to do so publicly and reject a "lease" concept, the Board will still be in the position of having offered compromise. If they respond to us privately and reject the "lease" concept, we can respond publicly and indicate that we offered to compromise appearing still as the leader seeking compromise. If the District accepts the lease concept, the Board can achieve its objective of long-term ownership and avoid a political issue and the associated costs of maintenance and operation. If we are not able to find a solution to the parkland issue, we will be moving to establish a Village "Parks" Department. I cannot estimate the costs presently, because I cannot estimate the level of service the Board desires. Do we just cut the grass? Shall the park be active or passive? Who will supervise the parks? Who will design the parks? What is the source of revenue? Should we have a referendum to establish a park levy? None of these questions are without answers and clearly if the Board- determines that this is community policy, the Staff will achieve that policy successfully. In anticipation of this Workshop on the 14th., I will have the Staff prepare same rough estimates of cost. In a few months we will be entering budget preparation and if this issue mandates a park policy, it will have to be incorporated in next year's funding. When I interviewed for this position, I stated strongly that I would stay out of "politics" if the Board stayed out of "administration". I believe this issue with the Park District is clearly political and as such a solution rests with all the elected officials from both jurisdictions. I offer simply the basic observation that we are headed for a cammunity wide collision with significant fallout that will change service levels for our residents. _ Two major events are right around the corner, their referendum in November and our '~ . election in the spring. How does the current issue affect those events? Should it? Why does it? 09/02/98 WED 12:30 F.~X 815 729 4711 • 1(CKEOW;ti L?,W LEASE DATE OF LEASE TERM OF LEASE BEGINNING ENDING October 1, 1998 October 1, 1998 _ September 30, 2018 LESSEE NAME Plainfield Township Park District ADDRESS OF 100 W.

Land in the Wallin Woods development is one example of property affected by the recent practice. . "I'm glad the .village re- tained ownership of the Wallin Woods property," said village trustee Kathy O'Connell. "It's land adjacent to where the new village. hall will be built, creating ari extension," she said. Most trustees agree with ,; O'Connell and hope to continue to retain park land and lease it . to the park district. "The land should be deeded to the village,". said trustee Steve Rathbun. He suggested along-term - lease of 25 or 30 years. That proposal doesn't sit well with the park district. Es- pecially disturbed is commis- sioner Ken Smith Jr. A letter to the editor expressing his dis- satisfaction with the village ap- pears an page 9 of today's En- terprise. "Leaving park land owner- ship with the village means re- visiting issues at the village board level," states Smith's let- ter. "'The township park district becomes de facto, a reporting agency to the village," his letter continues. `"Phis additional burden. on: volunteer commis- sioners is not acceptable." A question of mistrust has also come up.~ "I don't knowwhere the mis- trust came from," said John Wilson, park board president. "The village has stopped trust- ing us to negotiate park land with developers, and I just don't know where .that came from:' As for. O'Connell, it's not that she distrusts the park board. "I think the park .district does a wonderful job,"`she said. `But I have been elected to rep- resent 9,000 people, and I have to look out far what is best for them." Wilson; too, is looking out for his constituents. "I think this could cause complications such as avail- ability and equality," he said. "Say a kid from Crest Hill wants to play tee-ball. Kids in the village shouldn't get first dibs aver kids in the entire township. "We have to represent all of. . our constituents," ~Yilsvn said. "There has to be equal avail- ability for all people." Not. everyone an the village . board disagrees with the park..' district's position. "All future annexations should be deeded to the park district," said Flainfield village trustee Steve Calabrese. `The planning. staffs cari work together," he said, ~ "and the village and park district will get quality land." ~ - Though fellow trustee John Cherry was reluctant ta. com- ment for this story, he has spo- ken out against village owner- ship of parks at village. board meetings. He said he prefers to wait to comment ,until the vil- lage and park boards meet to discuss the issue. An actual meeting has not been planned, but' village o~- cials hope to meet and come to an agreement. on the issue. Whatever the future. holds for new Plai~eld .parks, V~il- son wants residents to be as- sured that. existing parks will not be affected. "There's a myth that they will," he said, "but that's not true.

Wilson Jr., President; Michelle Kelly, Vtce President; and >aanlel R. Bush, George Hejna end Ken M. 8mtth, Commissioners During the last year and a half, the Plain- field Township Park District Board of Com- missigners and the Village of Plainfield Board of Trustees have had numerous dis- cuaeiona regarding the ownership and responsibility of future parks in the village of Plainfield. Unfortunately, these discus- sions have frequently resulted in etatementa of misinformation or inaccuracy. In our rapidly growing area, the preservation of open space ie foremost on many residents' minas. The park district's role in this pre~erva- tion effort is to secure and develop the best passible parks. Based on our mission end history of successfully building and main- taining parks, wa, as the Park District Board of Commissioners, do not believe that a maintenance or lease agreement as sug- gested by the Plainfield Village Hoard is in the bast interest of park district residents. The park district's role in the community can ba best explained by its mission state- ment. It is the mission of the Plainfield Township Park District to responsibly and effectively provide the highest quality recre- ation facilities, leisure services and educa- tional programs to residents of all ages with- in the Plainfield Township Park District and to develop new parka and facilities while maintaining our present facilities in s safe, accessible manner that adds positive, aes- thetic value to the community. It is this mission statement that guides us and our decision-making process as we plan, build and maintain all parks through- out the district, The park district is commit- ted to maintaining existing parks as wall as developing new ones. This commitment is currently being demonstrated in the rede- velopment at the Ottawa Street Pool, Van Horn Woods, Village Green, Fvur Seasons Park and in new parks, sueh as those locat- ed in Kendall Ridge, Mirage, Nature's Crossing and Heritage Meadows neighbor- hoods. The ownership oC parks in village of Plainfield developments has become an issue of ongoing discussion. The park dis- trict obtains park land in dovolopments located in the village of Plainfield through a village-enacted park donation ordinance. This type of ordinance is common in Illinois and has helped create a strong park system in our state. The law requires that the village must enforce this ordinance. The ordinance deter- mines acreage tv be set aside Far neighbor- hood park apace and/or allows a cash dona- tion in lieu of land. Hy negotiating pre- annexation agreements with new subdivi- sion developers, the village of Plainfield has ignored the ordinance by having the donated park land deeded to the village and by keep- ing the donated cash. Qt is unknown how much, if any, cash has been donated to date.) This is a recent change in the administra- tion of the ordinance that has resulted in many questions as to what body is going to develop the new parka and maintain thorn. All existing parks in the village of PlainCeld which era already owned 6y the park dis• trict will remain under tits jurisdiction of the PlainCeld Township Park District. We negotiate for the best park land and will do so in any future development that is part of the district. We strive tv serve every park district resident equally, regardless of the town or township a person lives in. This will continue to be our goal. Tho process of acquiring and developing park land is guided 6y a series of principles and standards from which the park board and staff achieve the best park design to serve all residents. These include: • Availability of open space and develop• meat funding to provide basic recreation services, such as playgrounds, ball dia- monds, soccer Cielda and adequate buffer zones from conflicting uses. • Adequate street frontage to insure accessibility and security. • Availability for use by all park district residents regardless of status, race ar abili- ty. • When included as part of the park, ponds and retention basins are to be proper- ly designed as useful recreation Features while long-term maintenance expanse is minimised. • Locations are to serve the greatest need and resolve potential conflicts with streets and other barriers, • Suitable grading, turf and layouts to facilitate low maintenance costs over the long term. It is the park district's desiro to serve all of its residents by wntinuing to oporate and maintain parks within the village of Plain- field. Amajority of the village trustees have indicated that the village, in addition to its responsihilities of setting development stan- dards and meeting infrastructure require- ments, desires to be responsible for the own- ership and management of park land by leasing it to the park district. The village board's actions have made it difficult far us to plan new neighborhood parks in upc~m- ing developments and current developments such as Wallin Woods. To date, the majority of village trustees have not provided us with specific reasons why they feel the village should become involved in the park business. 'Phe park dis- trict has a professional planning and tnaiu- tenance staFf which has strong expertise in the design, development and long-term maintenance of parks. We believe the village of Plainfield also has an excellent, well qual- ified staff; however, their expertise is not in park development or park management. The district days not hvlieve that a lease agreement is in the best interest of the com- munity. Alease, in essence, allows the vil- lage oversight of the parks while allowing the park district to tnow the grass and main- tain equipment. It is our desire that a definitive conclu- sion 6e reached 6y the village trustees. The park district maintains a working policy of exploring and entering into cooperative agreements when and only when it is in the best interest of the entire district to do sa. We do not believe that a maintenance or lease agreement, as suggested by the vil- lage, would be in the best interest of the res- idents of the park district. Such an arrangement will only continue to complicate issues and create an unneeded level of bureaucracy. If the village trustees determine that it is in the best interest of the village to maintain parks, we ask them to now develop and present a plan to village residents as to how they will Cund and man• age these parks inn 1'ashiou that will add to the quality of life in our curumunity.

The commissioners `joined unanimously in this statement. The purpose of this"letter is to explain my personal feel- ings, as a resident of the vil- lage and as: a'park commission- er, why such a management arrangement does not best serve our commun}ty. -Park land i~. dither pur- chased .using p'a<r~k district funds or accepted byy'the park district as a land dorlat~on. Land donation's come from developers, the state or`private individuals (often for tax rea- sons) or sometimes as part of an estate. - '~ Zoning agencies (like Joliet and the village) have develop- ers donate to the districts to offset the additional burden placed on the district by new residents of the development. Such donations are common for schools, parks and other service districts. When the village does not require a developer to make a donation to the park district, the whole park district suffers. It means that the additional burden on the park district, from new residents in a devel- opment, is not compensated. Existing "old timer" resi- dents carry much of the bur- den not borne by the developer. This is unfair. A majority of the village trustees have indicated. that the village intends to continue requiring developers to make park` land donations to the vil- lage. At a committee .meeting recently, a portion of that ma- jority also .expressed the desire that the village manage the land: In general, the consensus was that the park district would be free to plan, negotiate and agree on the park donation and would manage the land on See Letters -page 11 THE ENTERPRISE S~ncs 1887 Published By Enterprise Printing Co.

So if the park district were free to negotiate on behalf of b the village, and to care fox the u new park land, how does this at affect the park district? Such a an arrangement makes man- y agement of new park land, in the village very cumbersome. p, _ One would expect the yil-- S loge -meaning the village 3; board - to demand a say' in the type, schedule and budget al for development of the village- owned park land. n The park district profession- al staff would have to answer b to its own board and try to please the village as well:: a As anyone knows who has C watched our village in action,: getting decisions to allow busi- . ' ness to proceed in an orderly t way is a rare event. $ Leaving park land owner- c ship with the village means revisiting issues at the village board level. The township park district becomes de facto, a reporting agency to the village. This additional burden on the volunteer (unpaid) park commissioners is not accept- able to me, and the increased burden on professional staff resources is not justi.f"ied. Speaking for myself, if I wanted to be that involved with the village, I would have run as a village trustee rather . than a park district commis- sioner. I read the last village elec- ion as a clear signal that the voters in Plainfield wanted the . village out of the park busi- ness. Iguess-the majority~f- `~ the board did not get the same reading.

Rock PRESIDENT r~usT~~s VILLAGE QF PLAINFIELD WILL COUNTY'S OLDEST COMMUNITY Mayor and Board of Trustees TL B h d Stephen J. Calabrese John H. Cherry Michael Collins Kathy O'Connell Steven L. Rathbun Raymond Smolich . urg ar May 26,1999 Park District Policy rr Susan Janik VILLAGE CLERK At the Village Board meeting of May 17, 1999, I was instructed to place this policy question on the next available Committee of the Whole Agenda. "Shall the Village require newly annexed properties to deed parkland to the Village of Plainfield rather than deed the parkland to the Plainfield Township Park District? Background Within the Village's Subdivision Ordinance there is a provision requiring the mandatory dedication of land, or cash in lieu, for park purposes. (Chapter T, Article 10, Section 10-16) In essence it says that the developer shall dedicate 5.5 acres for each 333 lots. This equates to 5.5 acres per 1,000 population. There has been some discussion last year to increase this number to 7.5 acres per 333 lots, but that question was postponed as we addressed the larger issue of ownership. (!f we do this, so should all other jurisdictions to avoid pricing our development out of range.). While such an ordinance is codified, in each annexation agreement we are able to "negotiate" with a developer and the agreement supercedes the ordinance. In early 1998, the staff was directed by the Board to require developers to deed the property to the Village rather than the Park District. In August of 1998 the staff revised the Park Site Dedication Ordinance and modeled it after the City of Joliet providing that the deeded land would go to the Park District "... or other public entity designated by the President and Village Board...." Additional changes were suggested by staff to better define useable park space and reduce credit for wet space and ponds. The draft ordinance was distributed to the Park District but never acted upon. The Village Board did meet with the Park Board to discuss the issue of ownership on two occasions and Mr. Rack appointed an Ad Hoc Committee to follow up on the issue. During this time the staff prepared a draft of a lease whereby the land could be deeded to the Village and then leased to the Park District. The lease concept was not received by the Park District warmly. When To: Prom: Date: Subject: z the lease was on the Village Agenda it was deferred. The Park District requested a meeting with the Ad Hoc Committee for December 22"d but because of the holidays not everyone could make that date and that meeting was cancelled. There was no official action on this matter during the spring of 1999. Only two annexation agreements required the dedication to the Village. The Ponds provided cash in lieu at approximately $25,000 and Arbor donated land. All of the draft annexation agreements to the southwest and northwest have included the provision that the dedication will be made "... at the Village Board's direction." These will be coming before us shortly. (I have never included the golf course as parkland although I have negotiated with the developer that it "counts" as part of his open space/park dedication.) ISSUES As I understand it, the following appear as the major issues: A. The Boundary of the Plainfield Township Park District extends to developments in Joliet, Bolingbrook, Romeoville, and Crest Hill. With a resident base that extends well beyond the Village of Plainfield borders, can our present and future Village residents be assured of adequate representation and sufficiently maintained park programs and amenities? B. In some of the developments outside our corporate limits there was insufficient planning for parkland. Do residents from those developments burden park systems in the Village that were properly planned in the first place and thus reduce or limit those systems to our residents? C. As our community grows into Wheatland, Oswego, and Nu Ay Say Townships should we automatically require annexation of these developments into the Plainfield Township Park District? While Oswego Township has a Park District, neither Wheatland or Nu Ay Say have operating districts. Will Village residents be confused or short changed in some way if they are annexed into Plainfield Park District? D. Does the Plainfield Park District have sufficient funds to maintain adequately the parks and programs already in existence? The District did use some funds from a Village development to maintain a park in another community. E. If the Village retains ownership of dedicated parkland in the future, how will municipal funds be raised to improve and maintain these parks? With tax cap legislation we would need a referendum to levy a property tax for such purposes. Does this create "double taxation" in some parts of the community? As an alternative should we utilize a Special • 3 Service District for those portions not in the Plainfield Township Park District? F. If the Village initiates its own Park function, who will run it? The existing staff has neither the time nor the expertise to plan, develop, and operate a park. The residents within the new Village Park system will demand programs for day- care, sports, ceramics etc. Who will staff such needs? G. Will adding another layer of government help or confuse residents? If you live in Plainfield as a new resident, do you call the Plainfield Township Park District or the Plainfield Village Park Program? H. Current approach confuses developers. Who do they work with to design a park? Current staff lacks experience in review of park designs and land transfers. ANALYSIS AND RECOMMENDATI The staff will achieve any objective established by the Mayor and Board. Based upon our existing workload and the issue before us for the existing traditional operations of the Village, I would not recommend establishing and operating a new park function. Existing revenue sources and staff limits do not permit taking on this new function. An ideal solution might be found in leasing to the Park District although they have not embraced that concept previously. We are actively pursing a municipal golf course and that, to my mind, will be a significant and sufficient addition to the Village identity and municipal function. I recommend we continue our previous relationship with the Plainfield Park District and newly annexed open space be deeded to them. The Park District seems to have changed or updated their philosophies in recent years to consider Village goals. Parks mean more than just ballfields and includes passive recreation and historical considerations. We may want to consider an Intergovernmental Agreement with the Park District to address these and other issues ... i.e. what mutual goals do we seek, hnw will park funding work in the Village, and how can we plan jointly for all our residents and our common future? We can also require in that Intergovernmental Agreement that cash in lieu donations be spent Drily for parkland in the Village of Plainfield. We could escrow the cash donations and release the funds once presented with a plan to spend those funds within the neighborhood or our community. cc: All Department Directors • INTERGOVERNMENTAL COOPERATIVE PLANNING AND BOUNDARY AGREEMENT BETWEEN THE VILLAGE OF PLAINFIELD AND THE VILLAGE OF OSWEGO Prepared By: Bruce A.
