Last month, the Park District Commissioners couldn’t vote on the pool cover proposal because not enough of them showed up at their regularly scheduled meetings.  Now that five of them have appeared, they entertain a motion NOT to decide the fate of the pool cover until they reach a resolution on an entirely UNRELATED issue with the school district.  This motion “not to decide” occurs at a meeting where they had removed all pool issues from the agenda.  Why the secrecy – a literal “hidden agenda” in violation of the Open Public Meetings Act?  I’ve reviewed the Seals’ proposal for a temporary pool cover.  It promises to be a great asset for the entire community, where substantial private money (fundraised by the Seals organization) is leveraged for the public benefit.  The Commissioners need to do the job that we elected them to do and vet this proposal in an open public hearing that is properly noticed to allow public comment. Give the pool cover proposal a proper hearing, please.
