administration

The Bloomingdale Park Board of Commissioners is the legal governing authority through which the business of the District is conducted. Park Commissioners are elected by residents of the District to a six-year term without pay.

Once the Park Board meeting has adjourned, all board members return to their roles as citizens and taxpayers. It is only the Park Board, acting at a legally constituted meeting, which has the authority to establish or change policy, sign agreements or award contracts. The Park Board has appointed a professional executive director to manage the operation of the District on a daily basis.

The Bloomingdale Park District Park Board meets the first and third Mondays of the month. Meetings begin at 7 p.m. and are held at the Johnston Recreation Center, 172 S. Circle Ave. in Bloomingdale. The public is invited to attend.

Board agendas and minutes are available at www.bloomingdaleparks.org.

Score 6 – Pursuing Victory with HonorSM

The Bloomingdale Park District is excited to show continued support for the CHARACTER COUNTS!-based certification program for coaches, parents, officials and children called Score 6. This program incorporates the six pillars of character: Trustworthiness, Respect, Responsibility, Fairness, Caring and Citizenship into youth sports. The primary goal of the program is to build character through these six pillars while teaching the fundamentals of the sport.

This program has been implemented in hopes that the main focus of youth sports is placed on fun instead of winning at all costs. We realize winning is important – to an extent. However, we need to make sure the rules of the game are followed and the players, coaches, officials and opponents are respected at all times. We need to focus more on teaching young players how to win with honor and lose with dignity and pride. The outcome is to keep the “fun” in sports!

Parental involvement and cooperation are essential to the success of this program. Parents and coaches are required to attend a Score 6 meeting and sign a code of character. Athletes are not allowed to participate until at least one of their parents has attended a Score 6 meeting. The program is completely free and lasts approximately one hour.

We Love Parents, however . . .With your child’s best interest in mind, parents are asked not to attend their child’s class unless invited by the instructor.

It is of equal importance that children have quality leisure time with their peers. Our instructors welcome the opportunity to discuss concerns with parents before or after class, time permitting. Thank you again for your cooperation.

Mission StatementThe Mission of the Bloomingdale Park District is to efficiently and economically provide recreation programs, facilities and open spaces

designed to provide enjoyable leisure time experiences that benefit the community.

a publication of the Bloomingdale Park District

Once again, it’s time for me to bring you up to date on the activities of the Park District. In these trying economic times, newscasts are filled with dire warnings about the precarious condition of our state and the nation’s fiscal health. While the Park District Board of Commissioners can do little about the big picture, we can, and have done, everything possible to keep our local end of the bargain. After an exhaustive examination by the credit rating agency Standard & Poor’s, the Park District has been awarded the coveted “AA” rating for the second year in a row.

What does that mean to you? Because of our fiscal responsibility and the unparalleled efforts of our staff, under the direction of Executive Director Carrie Fullerton, the District will save over $600,000 on interest payments over the next 11 years in re-paying bonds. That will go a long way as we continue to maintain our parks, facilities and equipment to the level that you, and we, expect while our tax rate remains one of the lowest in DuPage County.

We are in the midst of preparing the Park District’s Strategic Plan. This will be an all-encompassing document that is, in effect, our blueprint for the next 3-5 years. It will be another tool to help us prepare for our needs, as well as plan for the “wants” as expressed by our guests through recently held focus groups.

We will continue to maintain and upgrade our parks and facilities to the highest standard possible within tight budget constraints. Programs will be periodically reviewed to reflect the needs of the community. Underperforming ones will be eliminated and replaced with ones having greater appeal. If you have a desire to see something included, let us know. If there’s enough interest, we’ll try to accommodate the request.

You may contact us in a variety of ways including:

• Website (www.bloomingdaleparks.org)

• Facebook (www.facebook.com/BloomingdaleParkDistrict)

• Twitter (https://twitter.com/BlmngdaleParks)

• E-mail ([email protected])

• Phone (630-529-3650)

• And that old-fashioned one, in person at the Johnston Recreation Center, 172 S. Circle Ave. Come in! We’d love to see you!

Lastly, on behalf of the staff and the Board of Commissioners, I wish each of you a happy and healthy holiday season and the best the New Year has to offer.

Sincerely,

Sebastian “Buzz” PuccioPresident Bloomingdale Park District Board of Commissioners

In summation, the values seasonal staff acquire by working at the Bloomingdale Park Districts are ones that they can, in turn, instill in others, with an end result of enriching the entire community.

The Park Bench News continuedThe BPD - The No. 1 Employer of Community YouthThe Bloomingdale Park District views the employment of the community’s youth as part of its civic responsibility. In addition to its regular full-time and part-time staff, the Park District employs an additional 70+ staff between the ages of 16-24 throughout the year.

Such hiring of the community’s youth returns tax dollars back to the community and creates lifelong opportunities and relationships. The BPD helps its young employees understand the value of hard work and responsibility. Every part-time, seasonal is required to attend an introductory program, Park Works U, prior to starting.

The program welcomes part-timers, provides an overview of the BPD, familiarizes them with important policies and procedures, shares the BPD’s customer service philosophy, allows them to meet co-workers and answers any questions. It also introduces workers to Character Counts!, the nation’s most widely used character development framework. It is based on shared beliefs and consensus values called the Six Pillars of Character: Trustworthiness, Respect, Responsibility, Fairness, Caring and Citizenship.

Having a job teaches teenagers and young adults that to earn money they need to do hard work, such as cleaning toilets at The Oasis or clearing brush at Springfield Park wetlands. As a result, they are more likely to be responsible with the money they get and to spend it on items they really want or need.

Although children often start to learn to work with others in school and sports, a job at the BPD furthers their abilities to work as a team. The work that seasonal staff perform at the Park District often involves customers, residents and people in general. Such customer-service skills serve them well in the future in any number of careers, including computer services, marketing and advertising.

Teenagers who have had part-time jobs may be more marketable to colleges, as well. BPD seasonal staff can show they’ve already demonstrated independence and responsibility through their positions held. The presence of a job on a college application shows that the applicant is able to work with others or alone, is able to show up on time, possess many of the values that colleges are looking for, and is able to manage more than one activity.

Having a job in the summer can be especially important for teenagers and young adults because they have so much free time. Most colleges and high schools are not year-long institutions, so having a part-time or full-time job in the summer at the BPD gives them something productive to do.

The Park Bench News continuedWhat Is A Community Bank?Community banking begins with the customer and his or her wants and needs. It sounds simple, but most banks just don’t get it.

People want a bank where they’re known by name and made to feel welcome as soon as they come in the door. When one of our staff says, “May I help you?” they really want to help you.

People want the kind of bank that will service them for life. Where parents can take their kids to learn about banking and saving, and maybe meet the bank’s president. Where older kids can get help all the way through college. Where all of a family’s financial events from the household checking account to trust and estate planning

will be as important to the bank as they are to the family. It is where our senior generations can find security and comfort in specially-tailored senior products and services that meet their unique needs.

People want to keep it local. A bank’s management should live a local phone call away and be involved with community events. The bank should become an important part of the community, help it solve its problems and plan for its future. A bank should be a good neighbor – friendly, helpful and generous.

Hometown Banking At Its BestThere are several factors that distinguish us as a real community bank. First, we are locally run. Decisions are made by people who know you and care about your needs. As a result, you gain from our responsive service and true understanding of what this community needs.

Second, there is on-site control over all services, products, loan approvals, and interest rates. Because we’re locally managed, we can set our rates right here. We don’t have to get them approved by a corporate office somewhere else. And we don’t have the overhead that big banks do, so we can pass the savings on to you.

Third, deposits of the bank are invested back into the community in the form of business and residential loans. So in a way, you can help enhance your hometown, just by being a part of community banking.

Finally, we are dedicated to the financial support of the local community in order to make it a better place to live.

Innovative Products and a Friendly Smile Set Us Apart From the CompetitionWe are big enough to handle $50 million loans to businesses in the area, yet small enough to hand out lollipops to kids, cookies and coffee to all and even dog biscuits to “man’s best friend.” We’re large enough to handle the most complex trust and wealth management issues or able to provide you a simple FREE checking account, and when you call, we’ll answer the phone and know you by name. Whether your business needs to refinance its office building or your daughter needs a mortgage for her first home, we’ll get it done for you. We have the resources of the big banks (at least the same, if not better solutions) paired with the best customer service. We’re never too busy to sit down with you and talk over a cup of coffee. So stop by and find out how great hometown banking can really be. You’ll be glad you did!

REGISTRATION WAIVER & RELEASE - IMPORTANT INFORMATIONThe Bloomingdale 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 Bloomingdale Park District continually strives to reduce such risks and insists that all participants follow safety rules and instructions that are designed to protect the participants’ 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.

for the activities contemplated by this agreement. It is always advisable, especially if the participant is

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

other circumstances inherent to indoor and outdoor recreational activities exist. In this regard, it must be recognized that it is impossible for the Bloomingdale 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.

MIN/MAX – What does it mean?For each program at the Park District, there are a minimum number of registrations needed before a class can “go.” Most teachers are paid per class period, not per student, so if not enough people register, the Park District loses money – your money. You may ask, “But why a maximum?” Basically, the more students there are, the less individualized attention participants receive. We like to keep the student/teacher ratio low to ensure that you get what you pay for: a higher quality program. The minimum number of registrations is the first number shown. The maximum is the second one shown. For example, MIN/MAX: 8/12.

Wait Listing ProcessA wait list is formed when a class reaches participant levels beyond the maximum. This may occur when the lottery is completed or after the lottery depending on when the maximum is reached. The wait list is designed to maintain people in a holding area until either more spaces in the class are made or there is a drop out or transfer. The wait list is designed to offer any open spots to the next individual on the wait list by the date they first registered for the program. Thank you for your cooperation and continued patronage to the Bloomingdale Park District.

Registration Notification is Not Sent to YouPlease remember that no notification or confirmation will be sent to you after your registration. If you do not hear from us then this means you are placed on the class roster. If you are placed on a wait list we will contact you and ask if there are alternative choices that we can provide you. Please feel free to contact us if you have any questions about your status of your registration.

Program CancellationsPrograms that do not reach the advertised minimum registration number at least three days prior to the start of the program will be cancelled due to low enrollment. Participants will be notified of the cancellation during the three days prior to the advertised start date of the program. Full refunds will be issued for programs cancelled due to low enrollment. If a program has an advertised deadline listed in the brochure description, the program will be cancelled after that date if registration has not reached the minimum. All program times and fees are subject to change.

Return Check PolicyWe will gladly accept personal checks as payment for registration fees. If, for any reason, a check is returned to our office marked “NSF,” we will contact you. You will then be required to submit a full cash payment, as well as a $25.00 bookkeeping fee, within a five business day period. Class privileges will be suspended and new registration will not be accepted until payment is received.

Age AppropriateListed with every class is an age and/or grade designation that notifies interested participants the age demographics for each class or program. This designation is necessary for several reasons. First, the class or program is specifically designed for a certain age group. Second, we have found that participants enjoy and get more out of a program when interacting with peer groups of similar ages. Third, generally people feel more comfortable around people their own age and will enjoy the program in opportunities that provide this outlet. Last, concerns of safety and fair play become issues when mixing age groups especially with youth. We thank you for your cooperation in this matter and hope you enjoy your recreational opportunities here at the Park District.

Code of Conduct: Participant Guidelines• Equal Access - No participant shall, on the basis of race, sex, creed, national origin, or disability, be denied equal access to programs, activities, services or benefits, or be limited in the exercise of any right, privilege, advantage or opportunity.• Behavior - Participants are expected to exhibit appropriate behavior at all times. The following guidelines have been developed to help make Park District programs safe and enjoyable for all participants. Additional rules may be developed for particular programs and athletic leagues as deemed necessary by staff.

The Bloomingdale Park District reserves the right to dismiss a participant. Each situation will be evaluated on its own merit.

Program Refund PolicyA full refund will be provided to any customer who formally requests one at least three business days prior to the first class/practice, or by the program/trip advertised deadline. All refunds will be assessed a $5.00 administrative fee. Refunds received after the program begins will be prorated and assessed the $5.00 administrative fee. Refunds requested after the completion of a program or after the advertised deadline will not be granted.

Individual programs may have specific refund guidelines. These programs include but are not limited to Kids Place, Preschool, Schools Out!, Adult Leagues, and Day Camps. Refunds will not be granted for daily admissions, drop-in fees, KFN, tickets, exhibit hanging fees, or Oasis season passes after the pool has opened for the season.

The $5.00 administrative fee will not be assessed for refunds due to low enrollment or cancelled programs, rental/party deposits, punch card refunds, or medical reasons accompanied by a physician’s note. Refund requests will be handled on a case by case basis.
