Board reviews final skate park concept ahead of OSLAD grant submission
Summary
Staff presented a final skate park concept that incorporates conditions set by the board for the OSLAD grant application, including removal of a fire pit, added landscaping, charcoal disposal bins, and a second parking entrance.
The village board reviewed a final concept for a proposed skate park and about the village's upcoming application for an OSLAD (Open Space Lands Acquisition and Development) grant from the Illinois Department of Natural Resources. Andy reminded the board that the previous meeting's resolution to authorize the OSLAD application was conditioned on removing a fire pit, adding landscaping, researching charcoal disposal bins and adding a second parking-lot entrance.
Andy said the updated concept in the board packet includes the second entrance, removal of the fire pit and placement of landscaping near adjacent pickleball courts. The changes are intended to address the board's previous conditions and to finalize the concept ahead of grant submission. Staff asked if there were any final questions before the final grant application is submitted; no additional substantive modifications were recorded in the transcript.
Board members indicated support for advancing the finalized concept and for submitting the OSLAD application with the stated modifications. No funding commitments or grant awards were recorded at the meeting; the action noted was the board's prior resolution authorizing the application and staff's intent to submit the final application.
