Date: July 7, 2017 To: Community Park District Board of Commissioners From: Aleks Briedis, Executive Director RE: Weekly report Memorial Park Construction continues to move forward. The picnic shelter is just about complete with the exception of power to the tennis court lights and scoreboard and water service to the splash pad. When excavating for the power to the tennis court lights, it was found that the conduit was deteriorated. We will have to expose more of the conduit in the hopes that it is in better condition down the line. If not, we will have to decide our next steps. Walkways continue to be poured around the amphitheater. I have been told that they will be complete for the July 15th celebration. In the packet, I have included a list of change orders to date and others that are on the horizon. I will review in detail at the meeting. Music Under the Stars The park was ready, but the weather did not cooperate, so we had our first concert, the West Suburban Band, on June 28th at Park Jr. High. It was a great performance. On July 5th, we were able to hold the concert at the amphitheater. Spoken Four put on a great show and it was very well attended. Johnny Russler & The Beach Bum Band will be playing on July 12th. 125th Anniversary Martin, Ashley and I will meet with Village staff on Monday on site to prepare for the event. I will give an update at the meeting. Next week’s focus will be finishing up last minute details and setting up for the big event. It’s going to be great!
