We’re Always Listening...

Got an idea you want to share with us? Don’t wait! Here are three easy ways to tell us what’s on your mind:

Doing our part to green Carol Stream Small changes can add up to a big difference, so we’ve made a few small changes to our program guides, which all add up to big difference to the environment. Fewer trees: we’re saving trees by reducing the number of pages in our guides and using recycled paper from sustainable forests. Easier to recycle: gloss paper is harder to recycle, so we’ve switched from a gloss to a matte cover to make our guides better for recycling.

24 Hour-Hotline Call (630) 784-6199, ext. 300 anytime to leave a voice message. Be sure to leave your name and phone number if you want a reply.

Less energy: our guides are now cold-set printed, which means the ink dries naturally instead of under energy intensive heaters. Less chemicals: by using eco-friendly soy ink, fewer chemicals are needed to print our program guides.

CSParks Green Tips Cut the chemicals Many windshield de-icers contain harmful chemicals such as chlorine or gylcerol, so cut the chemicals by filling a spray bottle with three parts white vinegar, one part water as an alternative de-icer.

Blanket your A/C Throw a cover on your outdoor air conditioning unit during the winter months, this will help stop warm air escaping from your home and help reduce your heating bill.

Change your filter Make sure you change the filter in your furnace every month, this not only means a healthier home but helps your furnace run more efficiently. For more information on how the park district is taking action against climate change, go to www.csparks.org/environment

The Carol Stream Park District Board of Commissioners consists of seven individuals who are elected by the community to represent the community’s best interests. The charge of the Board is to set policies that will guide the Park District. Board members serve a four-year term and receive no compensation for the time they give. They come from a variety of backgrounds but share one important trait; a commitment to serving the park and recreational needs of the community.

This program guide is printed on recycled paper using eco-friendly soy ink. You can help our guides become even greener - when the season’s over, don’t trash them, recycle them!

Your Park District New Recreation Center, Parks Improvements Proposed A new recreation center with an indoor pool, all with zero tax rate increase, could begin construction in 2010 if approved by voters. A resident steering committee met with the park district board in October to recommend funding proposed projects, which include a recreation center, improved trail and park lighting, with a February 2010 referendum that would not increase the tax rate. The Citizens Steering Committee started work in May 2009 to form and refine their recommendation based on resident focus groups, personal interviews and a community-wide survey. The indoor recreation center would include an indoor walking track, fitness equipment and class space, multi-court gymnasium, and an indoor playground/area. An indoor pool for lessons and therapeutic use would also be part of the center. The preferred location to build: Town Center at the intersection of Gary and Lies roads in Carol Stream. Improvements to trails would connect and expand current walking and biking trails throughout the community. An offleash dog park and a re-engineering of McCaslin Park sports fields would also be part of the plan. The proposed plans would require voter approval at a referendum on Feb 2, 2010.

Resident Comments I am happy to hear of the park district’s “new plans. Carol Stream’s Park District has always been exceptional!

”

“I am very excited about these improvements and future recreation center. I have always thought the park district in Carol Stream was one of the best. Keep up the good work.

“ “

”

Very excited about the plans for a pool. We go to Bartlett every weekend for pool when Coral Cove is closed. A place for Kids Care summer camp will be wonderful.

”

I love the idea of lighted paths. It’s perfect for those of us that work but still need to get out after dark inthe fall and winter. The more paths the better!

”

I really would like an indoor pool. The “ indoor track would be great to for running during the winter. Beats the treadmill!

”

Proposed projects for 2010 - 2013 Projects planned are: •

New recreation center to replace Aldrin Community Center

•

Indoor pool

•

Trail expansion & connection

•

Lighting for key parks & trails

•

Sports field improvements, including McCaslin Park development and lights on key fields

•

Off-leash dog park

•

A plan for long-term care and maintenance

These projects meet clearly stated resident needs This proposal is part of the community needs assessment and planning process that started in May 2008. The needs identified in this process are also consistent with top-ranked needs from the 2004 community survey.

Zero Tax Rate Increase Proposed improvements can be done with no tax rate increase. We can refinance existing bonds at today’s lower rates and issue new ones to fully fund the projects. This is the same method we used successfully for the 2000 referendum.

Voter Approval Required This will require a referendum and voter approval. In October 2009 the Citizen Steering Committee recommended the board place it on the February 2, 2010 ballot. At the time of press no decision has been made.

Work Begins Immediately If voters approve, work on the projects will begin right away in the year 2010! For more information on these proposed projects, and the latest updates on the plans, go to csparks.org

WAIVER & RELEASE The Carol Stream Park District is committed to conducting its recreation programs and activities in a safe manner and holds the safety of participants in high regard. The Carol Stream Park District continually strives to reduce such risks and insists that all participants follow safety rules and instructions that are designed to protect the participantsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; safety. However, participants and parents/guardians of minors registering for the above listed programs/activities must recognize that there is an inherent risk of injury when choosing to participate in recreational activities/programs. You are solely responsible for determining if you or your minor child/ward are physically fit and/or skilled for the activities contemplated by this agreement. It is always advisable, especially if the participant is pregnant, disabled in any way or recently suffered an illness, injury or impairment, to consult a physician before undertaking any physical activity.

WARNING OF RISK Recreational activities are intended to challenge and engage the physical, mental and emotional resources of each participant. Despite careful and proper preparation, instruction, medical advice, conditioning and equipment, there is still a risk of serious injury when participating in any recreational activity. Understandably, not all hazards and dangers can be foreseen. Depending on the particular activity, participants must understand that certain risks, dangers and injuries due to inclement weather, slip and falls, poor skill level or conditioning, carelessness, horseplay, unsportsmanlike conduct, premises defects, inadequate or defective equipment, inadequate supervision, instruction or officiating, and all other circumstances inherent to indoor and outdoor recreational activities exist. In this regard, it must be recognized that it is impossible for the Carol Stream Park District to guarantee absolute safety.

WAIVER AND RELEASE OF ALL CLAIMS AND ASSUMPTION OF RISK Please read this form carefully and be aware that in signing up and participating in the programs listed above, you will be expressly assuming the risk and legal liability and waiving and releasing all claims for injuries, damages or loss which you or your minor child/ward might sustain as a result of participating in any and all activities connected with and associated with these programs (including transportation services and vehicle operations, when provided). I recognize and acknowledge that there are certain risks of physical injury to participants in these programs, and I voluntarily agree to assume the full risk of any and all injuries, damages or loss, regardless of severity, that my minor child/ward or I may sustain as a result of said participation. I further agree to waive and relinquish all claims I or my minor child/ward may have (or accrue to me or my child/ward) as a result of participating in these programs against the Carol Stream Park District, including its officials, agents, volunteers and employees. I have read and fully understand the above important information, warning of risk, assumption of risk and waiver and release of all claims. If registering on-line or via fax, my on-line or facsimile signature shall substitute for and have the same legal effect as an original form signature.
