Government

🏛️ Park District Governance

The Western Springs Park District is overseen by a seven-member Board of Commissioners, all of whom are elected volunteers residing in Western Springs. They convene monthly to manage district affairs, and residents are encouraged to attend and participate.

🗣️ Citizens to Be Heard

Residents wishing to address the Board may do so during the "Citizens to Be Heard" segment of each meeting. This portion is scheduled for a maximum of 30 minutes, with each speaker allotted up to three minutes. While the Board is not obligated to respond during the meeting, they value community input and may follow up as appropriate.

📝 How to Participate

  • Sign-In: Complete a request form before the meeting begins.

  • Speaking Order: The Board President will call on speakers in the order of sign-in.

  • Addressing the Board: When recognized, approach the table and use the microphone to ensure your comments are recorded.

  • Late Arrivals: If you didn't sign in beforehand, the President will inquire at the end of the segment if there are additional speakers. Raise your hand to be recognized.

Regular Board meetings are held on the second Tuesday monthly. Meetings begin at 7:00 pm at the Park District Office, 4400 Central Avenue. (November Board meeting is the first Tuesday of this month at 7pm.)
