2023 Budget Transparency, Meetings, and Process
The Park District’s proposed 2023 Budget will be available to the public in mid-November with numerous opportunities for public comment and input. The annual budget lays out the framework for park improvement projects and day-to-day operations of parks, park planning, environmental stewardship, wildlife management, public safety, and educational and recreational programs and services.
Opportunities for public comment include the District’s Board Finance Committee meeting on Monday, November 21, 2022, and Park Advisory Committee (PAC) on Monday, November 28, 2022, where the budget will be presented and discussed.
The Park District Board of Directors will then consider the proposed budget at their regular board meetings in December. The public hearings are held on:
- Tuesday, December 6, 2022, at 6 p.m., where the board will review the budget and provide comments
- Tuesday, December 20, 2022, at 1 p.m., where the board will consider the budget for approval.
Both meetings include opportunities for public comment.
