Approval of Minutes: MOTION made by Kevin Koch, seconded by Mary Mihelic, to approve the minutes of the June 12, 2012 Park Advisory Board meeting as submitted. Voice vote, AYES have it. MOTION CARRIED. (Allen Borg abstained.) 4. Public Comments: None 5. New Business: Soccer Goal Policy (attachments, discussion, recommendation) Director Perkins drafted a policy on Soccer Goal Safety and Education, which is a requirement per Illinois State law. Although Ela Soccer Association owns, installs, and maintains the soccer goals and already has a policy in place, the goals are on Village property so the Village is also required to adopt the policy. Dawn Brazier wanted to be sure it was drafted properly and would be enforceable. She asked who would enforce the policy and check on the goals. Director Perkins said the Village Attorney would probably review the policy before presenting it for Board approval. He will ask Public Works General Services Supt. Mike Brown to check on the goals. MOTION made by Tim Andrews, seconded by Kevin Koch, to recommend the Board of Trustees approve the Soccer Goal Policy. Upon roll call vote, Dawn Brazier, Tim Andrews, Allen Borg, Kevin Koch, and Mary Mihelic, voted Aye. MOTION CARRIED. 6. Old Business Status of Paulus Park Phase II OSLAD Grant Project: Director Perkins said the Board of Trustees approved the OSLAD grant application at their June 25, 2012 Special Meeting. He and Keith Demchinski of Norris Design met with the IDNR representative when they came for a site visit at Paulus Park on August 9. The Village should be notified by mid September if they were chosen to do a presentation to IDNR in October. Director Perkins recommended having a staff member and a Board member attend the presentation if the Park and Recreation Advisory Board Minutes, August 14, 2012 2 Village is invited. He expressed his enthusiastic support for the project and his hope that Lake Zurich would be successful. He thanked the Park and Recreation Advisory members and Board of Trustees for their hard work and support in preparing and approving the application. Director Perkins in turn was thanked by Chair Brazier for his efforts in the OSLAD grant proposal. 7. Advisory Board Member Reports Dawn Brazier said the Special Events are on hold for now but will be brought forward later. She asked how the Park and Recreation Advisory Board would continue to be apprised of the status of their Park Improvement Funds now that they will be used for maintenance items. Director Perkins said Asst. Village Administrator Witherow and Supt. Brown would be able to update them. Director Perkins said Jeff Carey had asked him to remind the Park and Recreation Advisory Board that they need to continue to look at the Open Space & Recreation Master Plan and to give attention to the items in the report at their future meetings. 8. Director’s Report Updates were provided on the beaches, beach pass sales, concessions, web site, and brochures. Director Perkins reported that all had done well and recommended the concessionaire be invited back next year. The 4th of July festival and fireworks went well. A new State law is pending that would require the fireworks to be shot off from a barge in the lake to observe the proper distance if approved. The Village Administrator is aware of this. The brochure will only be on- line when it comes out this fall with 500 hard copies for those who do not have internet access. Chair Brazier and the Park and Recreation Advisory Board members thanked Director Perkins for his service to the Parks and Recreation Department and wished him well in his new position. 9.
