Board approves edits to General Use Regulations Chapter 4 after split debate over DEI
Summary
The Park District Board approved edits to General Use Regulations Chapter 4; Commissioner Chan characterized the edits as DEI-focused while other commissioners and staff disagreed, and Chapters 6–9 review was discussed with Chapter 5 (vehicle and e-scooters) scheduled for a future meeting.
On July 20 the Oak Brook Park District Board approved changes to General Use Regulations Chapter 4 following a split discussion about whether the edits implement diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI) measures.
Commissioner Chan stated that the edits are focused on DEI implementation; Dr. Laure Kosey, Commissioner Knitter, and President Gondek disagreed with that characterization. The motion passed by roll call with three votes in favor and two opposed.
Staff also said Chapters 6–9 complete the General Use Regulations review and that Chapter 5—covering vehicle and e-scooter rules and incorporating a new state e-scooter regulation effective July 1, 2026—will be reviewed at a subsequent meeting.
