Board notes gutters, meter work and overgrown grass at Teter Wallace park

New Chicago Parks Board · November 5, 2025

Summary

Gutters on the garage and bathroom building were found installed overnight; staff will inspect a damaged high outlet. Velocity was rescheduled; a water meter pull will temporarily remove water. Board identified large overgrown grass at Teter Wallace and plans to use crew equipment in spring to clear it.

Board members reported that the gutters on the garage and bathroom building appeared to have been installed overnight and appear to function, though an outlet on the basketball-court side was observed knocked off and staff will check whether it is live. The board said it will contact Alamo to reconcile a final invoice for work completed.

Members also confirmed Velocity will be on site Friday morning (time to be confirmed) and that Robert was to pull the meter, which will leave the site without water during that work. Separately, a neighbor reported tall grass at Teter Wallace (the water-tower adjacent park) that is city property and too high for the rider mower; the board agreed to ask parks staff to bush-hog the area on the first spring mow and then use the rider for follow-up.

Staff will inspect the damaged outlet, contact vendors for outstanding invoices and schedule mowing work as part of routine parks maintenance.
