BOARD LETTER On behalf of the Board of Commissioners, I’d like to welcome you to the Park District of La Grange—your destination for fun! Take a look at all of the great program offerings available during the Winter/Spring season. Our staff is committed to providing programming that is fun, entertaining, economical, safe, and healthy on a regular basis.

With this brochure, we officially welcome residents of the City of Countryside to experience the benefits offered by our Park District. The City of Countryside and the Park District of La Grange have entered into an intergovernmental agreement to share resources for the benefit of Countryside residents and La Grange residents.

Countryside residents now receive in-district rates and registration priority equal to La Grange residents and the Park District of La Grange will plan programming and recreation opportunities at Countryside’s beautiful parks, allowing all of our residents to share equally in our assets.

We’ve had a busy year at the Park District of La Grange. We completed work on the renovation of Denning Park and it looks amazing! Several new recreation features were added, including an extended walking path, an additional athletic field, a new playground area with a poured-n-play surface, a basketball court and a new pavilion. All this was done while preserving the naturalistic look we’ve come to enjoy at Denning Park.

The Elm Park playground was replaced in short order after a tragic act of vandalism induced fire during peak summer usage time. Fortunately, the playground was replaced with equipment that is ADA compliant and therefore more accessible for kids with special access needs.

Thanks to the generous sponsorship of De Sitter Flooring, we were able to completely renovate the banquet room in the Recreation Center, creating a space which is beautiful, inviting, and a great social asset to our community. The room has officially been renamed “The De Sitter Room” and we invite you to stop by and check it out.

Keep an eye on the north end of the Village this spring, where we hope to see progress on the long awaited renovation of Gordon Park. As of this writing, we are waiting for a couple of permit approvals and will soon be initiating the bid process for Phase I of the project, which is scheduled to begin construction in the spring, if all goes according to plan.

Copies of the planned improvements are available on our website.

We continue to offer a great variety of free events including the ice skating rinks at Gilbert Park, the Easter Egg Hunt, movies in the Parks, Family Fest, and the Halloween Party.

In these difficult economic times, I’m proud to report that the Park District of La Grange is run on a fiscally conservative basis. The Recreation Center has proven to be the revenue engine that we had hoped for when we sent the question to the voters back in 2004. For the six years since the opening of the building, the Park District has consistently shown a profit from operations of the facility, and the amount of the profit has steadily increased each year. To put it in perspective, in fiscal year 2007, the district showed a profit of $337,627, and for fiscal year ending April 30, 2012, we realized an operating profit of $1,129,174. These proceeds are then available to make needed capital improvements and repairs to other facilities and parks without significant increases in taxes. We make every effort to be good stewards of your parks, provide the best amenities and programming possible, and keep your taxes low.

Plan to spend some time in one of our parks, or take a class, or attend one of our free events. Make the Park District of La Grange Your Fun Destination!

Sincerely, Mary Ellen Penicook, President

PARK DISTRICT OF LA GRANGE | www.pdlg.org | Winter/Spring 2013

REGISTRATION INFORMATION 1. RESIDENT REGISTRATION ONLY

Walk-in resident registration will take place on Saturday, Dec. 1 from 8:00 am-6:00 pm at the Recreation Center, 536 East Avenue, and continues thereafter during regular office hours. Residents can only register their own family during resident registration on Dec. 1.

Countryside residents may now register beginning Dec. 1.

2. NON-RESIDENT REGISTRATION

Individuals residing outside of the Park District boundaries may register starting at 8 a.m. Monday, Dec. 10. This includes Neighborhood Network residents.

3. ONLINE REGISTRATION

The Park District of La Grange offers online registration. Come in to the Recreation Center to complete an online registration form to receive the required user name and password for online access.

Online registration runs simultaneously to walk-in registration; neither procedure has priority over the other. Online registration is available 24/7 once registration begins for the season. A nonrefundable $2 administration fee applies to online registration transactions. Register online at www.pdlg.org.

4. FIRST COME FIRST SERVED

All programs have a minimum and maximum enrollment and will be fi lled on a first come, first served basis.

5. PROGRAM WAITING LISTS

Maximum enrollments for programs ensure quality and safety for you and your children. In the past, we made every effort to accommodate as many residents as possible without negatively impacting the programs. This has led to disappointment and frustration for all involved due to problems in timing (those on the waiting lists would find another way to spend their time), and the difficulty related to finding qualified instructors in a short period of time.

For the winter/spring program season, waiting lists will be unlimited. This list will be taken to allow for dropouts and cancellations prior to the start of a program. Our deadline for requesting refunds is 5 days before the start of class. Th is change helps eliminate last minute decisions regarding program and waiting list status.

6. FALSE INFORMATION/RESIDENT PRIORITY

Persons failing to indicate Non-Resident status, or registering Non-Residents as Park District Residents will be dropped from the program without refund.

7. REFUNDS AND CANCELLATION

Refunds will not be issued after the first class date and must be requested no less than 5 days before the first class meeting. A prorated refund will be issued in cases when the Park District receives a written certificate from a physician that a medical condition exists that prohibits participation. The medical note must be received no later than 14 days after the session end date. A prorated refund may also be issued if the registrant moves outside of the District boundaries. A $5 service charge will be deducted from all refunds over $5, except when a medical certificate is presented in writing, or the District cancels a program. If the Park District cancels a program, participants will have a choice of full refund, credit or class transfer, if available.

8. INSUFFICIENT FUNDS FEE:

In the event that a program is paid for by check, and that check is returned to the District stamped N.S.F., full payment as well as a $20.00 penalty will be required in cash or cashiers check before attendance in a class can continue.

9. FEE CODE

The fee code used in this brochure is as follows: (R) Residents of La Grange & Countryside (NR) Non-Resident (NN) Neighborhood Network

10. PROOF OF RESIDENCY

Proof of La Grange or Countryside residency is required to qualify for resident rates for program registrations, usage passes and facility rentals. A driver’s license, state ID or utility bill is acceptable. This policy assures the lowest fees for La Grange residents.

11. NEIGHBORHOOD NETWORK (NN)

All communities that border La Grange which include Western Springs, La Grange Park, Brookfield, La Grange Highlands, and McCook will be charged only 10% more than resident rate for all programs. Proof of residency is required.

For all co-op programs, non-residents from the co-op district will get the resident rate.

12. CO-OP PROGRAMMING

If the graphic symbol T appears next to a program title it is a co-op and resident rate applies for all agencies indicated. All participating agencies must achieve minimum enrollment for a class to be held.

Co-op codes: LP-La Grange Park, WS-Western Springs,

13. SENIOR DISCOUNT

Seniors age 55+ receive a 10% discount for most PDLG programs for adults.

15. PAYMENT/ENROLLMENT VERIFICATION When in doubt, call the Park District office at (708) 352-1762.

16. ASSESSMENT DESCRIPTION

You will be assessed a $5 registration fee when signing up for programs. This fee is charged only once per household per season for registrations of $20 and over. If after your initial registration you decide to enroll in more programs during the same program season, simply alert us to that fact when you register. The assessment fee does not apply to online registrations. Collecting this fee allows the Park District to meets its costs without raising fees for every program.

17. PAYMENT METHODS

Payment methods accepted are: Visa, MasterCard, Discover, cash and check. Driver’s license required for checks.

18. REGISTER EARLY!

Classes subject to cancellation if they do not meet minimum enrollments a week before class starts, unless otherwise noted.

T- Cooperative Program |

- Childcare Offered During This Program

EARLY CHILDHOOD PROGRAM REQUIREMENTS • Children must be the correct age by the first day the program meets, unless otherwise specified. In order to provide your child with the best possible recreational and/or learning experience, all of our programs are planned according to the ages listed in our brochure.

• Classes are for child attending only, except for classes with an adult. Parents should not remain in the classroom or gymnasium after dropping off their child. This is in the child’s best interest, as continual interruptions tend to affect participant’s attention span and inhibit the establishment of peer relationships.

• Please do not bring food to any class, unless previously arranged.

• For your children’s safety, all children enrolled in preschool age programs must be picked up from the specific classroom or program site by their parents or designated guardian. No child will be released from the classroom to anyone other than these individuals.

• A mandatory sign in and sign out procedure for all participants is required for all Park District programs.

Cash and investments are the primary liquid assets of the District. All investments are made in accordance with state law and Park District policy. Property taxes receivable is the amount that was levied for the prior calendar year, but not due to be received until after the fiscal year end. Property and equipment are reported net of accumulated depreciation.

PARK DISTRICT OF LA GRANGE | www.pdlg.org | Winter/Spring 2013

Liabilities – Park District debts or claims against District assets Accounts payables, accrued payroll and compensated absences are operational expenses that will be paid in the current year. Unearned program revenue will be recognized as revenue in the next fiscal year. General Obligation Bonds will be paid from future tax receipts as the bonds become due over the next fourteen years.

Net Assets – The difference between assets and liabilities A major portion of net assets is the amount invested in capital assets less the amount of any debt outstanding, which was used to acquire the assets.

Restricted and unrestricted net assets indicate that the Park District can pay its debts, while still retaining sufficient funds for future commitments.

Condensed Statement of Activities The adjacent statement reflects the financial results of operations for the fiscal years ended April 30, 2012 and 2011.

Charges for services increased 23% from the prior year due to increased participation, increased rentals, and the addition of the Before & After School Program. The Park District was also fortunate to receive several grants. The largest grant was from the Township of Lyons for the redevelopment of Denning Park. Property tax revenue increased slightly due to new growth in the community and an increase in the consumer price index.

Expenses – The total amount of cash spent and payable by the Park District Expenses decreased less than 1% from the prior year. While many costs were rising and the District added a major program with Before & After School Program, costs related to Gordon Park litigation & redevelopment were substantially reduced. The net impact was very little change in total expenses.

Increase in Net Assets– The difference between the revenue and expenses Overall, the District increased its net assets by $1,129,174 or 13.2% during the current year, mostly due to the grants.

GENERAL INFORMATION LATE PICK-UP POLICY The Park District of La Grange staff will supervise children who are left beyond the scheduled time until a parent or other authorized adult on the pick-up list arrives. However, late pickups will result in a fee. Payment of the late fee is to be paid at the Recreation Center located at 536 East Avenue BEFORE your child can attend the next day of camp/class. If you have any questions, please call Laura Gallagher at 352-1762.

1-15 minutes late = $5.00 Every minute after that = $1.00

IMPORTANT INFORMATION The Park District of La Grange is committed to conducting its recreation programs and activities in the safest manner possible and holds the safety of participants in the highest regard. Participants and parents registering their child in recreation programs must recognize, however, that there is an inherent risk of injury when choosing to participate in recreation activities.

The Park District of La Grange continually strives to reduce such risks and insists that all participants follow safety rules and instructions which have been designed to protect the participant’s safety.

Please recognize that the Park District of La Grange does not carry medical accident insurance for injuries sustained in its programs.

The cost of such would make program fees prohibitive; therefore, each person registering themselves or a family member for a recreation program/activity should review their own medical insurance policy for coverage. It must also be noted that the absence of medical insurance coverage does not make the Park District of La Grange automatically responsible for the payment of medical expenses.

The Park District of La Grange requires that all program participants or legal guardians sign a Liability Waiver and Release form at the time of registration. This form must be signed prior to participation in any Park District program. Your cooperation and understanding is greatly appreciated.

PARK USAGE RULES For your Safety and Protection....CERTAIN LOCAL RULES ARE ESTABLISHED BY THE BOARD OF PARK COMMISSIONERS SO THAT ALL MAY ENJOY THE PARKS SAFELY. YOU ARE REQUIRED TO COMPLY WITH THE FOLLOWING RULES. 1. No dogs are allowed in the parks.

2. No alcoholic beverages are allowed in any park areas.

3. No driving or parking of cars, motorcycles or snowmobiles are allowed in any grass area or sportsfield.

4. No weapons of any type may be carried by anyone in the park except by the police. This includes slingshots, pellet guns or guns which are in a case.

74

5. No smoking within any Park District buildings.

6. No golfing in the parks. Youth Golf Program participants are exempt from this rule during scheduled golf lessons.

7. Parks are open from sunrise to sunset unless otherwise posted.

Exceptions apply to lighted areas (i.e. courts, fields, etc.)

PROGRAM CODE OF CONDUCT To ensure enjoyable and safe programs for all participants, the Park District of La Grange has developed a behavior code. Participants shall: • Show respect to all participants and staff.

• Refrain from using foul language.

• Refrain from causing bodily harm.

• Show respect to equipment, supplies, and facilities.

Additional rules are developed for specific programs as deemed necessary by staff.

PROGRAM FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE The Financial Assistance Policy of the Park District of La Grange is established to provide a fair and equitable system through which District residents may take part in recreation programs when they are unable to pay the required fees.

Partial program fee waivers may be granted for Park District of La Grange residents for certain programs. Any family who would like to see if they are eligible for a scholarship may obtain an application from the Park District of La Grange Administration Office at 536 East Avenue, La Grange, IL 60525.

CO-OP PROGRAMMING If the graphic symbol T appears next to a program title, it is a CO-OP, and resident rates apply for all agencies indicated. All participating agencies must achieve minimum enrollment for a class to be held.

There are three reasons why park districts and recreation departments typically offer programs in cooperation with another agency. Reason #1 is because individually each agency does not have the population base to support a program. Reason #2 is that one of the agencies does not have the facility to offer a program. Reason #3 is that both agencies can increase the variety of programs offered to their residents.

AMERICANS WITH DISABILITIES ACT (ADA) The Park District of La Grange is committed to accessibility for individuals with disabilities and strives to provide equal, integrated participation in all programs, activities and services. The Park District’s policy is to reasonably accommodate all qualified program applicants in accordance with the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA).

We welcome the questions, comments and concerns of interested community members regarding District ADA compliance.

To arrange for auxiliary aids or accommodations enabling individuals with disabilities to participate in Park District public meetings, or to request publications in a special format (such as audiocassette or large print), contact the Superintendent of Recreation by calling (708) 3521762 or by writing to 536 East Avenue, La Grange, IL 60525.

PARK DISTRICT OF LA GRANGE | www.pdlg.org | Winter/Spring 2013

INCLUSIVE RECREATION PROGRAMS In a continuing effort to meet the needs of residents with special needs, SEASPAR and the Park District of La Grange provide inclusive recreation services. This means that individuals with disabilities participate in programs offered by the Park District.

This inclusive recreation environment provides residents with disabilities greater choices for their leisure time and allows all residents to learn about one another as they participate together.
