Committee Meetings

As a part of our policy, the Peoria Park District is supported by standing committees that regularly meet to give direction to our District. The Park Board President and the District’s Executive Director serve on all Committees of the District. All committee members, including trustees, are appointed by the Park Board President to serve.

For all full list of committee meeting dates and times, please click the specific committee below. Approved meeting minutes for those respective committees are also located below.

Ad Hoc Citizens Advisory Committee

PURPOSE:
The CAC provides a valuable communication channel between the Park District and the citizens of the communities served by the Peoria Park District. CAC members provide an independent perspective on parks and recreation issues affecting the community with each member representing only themselves and not any organization they may belong to. With the help of the CAC, the Park District is better able to assess community needs and expectations necessary to carry out its mission. The CAC is made up of 15 members who must be Peoria Park District residents. They are appointed by the President of the Peoria Park District Board of Trustees to serve one year terms. Members may be re-appointed for two total terms of service. Membership must be balanced to represent all parts of the District: Southern District: 2 Central District: 6 Northern District: 4 At large: 3

RESPONSIBILITIES OF THE CAC:

Serve as a “sounding board” in alignment with the Peoria Park District’s mission and commitments with a focus on quality of current efforts and exploration of future initiatives or opportunities.
Assist in the solicitation of resident feedback.
Help the District to better understand citizen concerns and to be responsive to community needs.
Serve as “secret shoppers” attending selected District events or activities and providing feedback.

MEETING SCHEDULE:
The CAC will meet four times per year in April, June, August, and October. Agendas will be set by PPD staff with the input of the Board of Trustees and the CAC chair/membership.

DESIRED SKILLS AND INTERESTS:
Members of the CAC will represent a general “cross-section” of the community with a diverse range of interests. The CAC will not include a member representing a specific viewpoint or a specific user group. Members are users of parks and recreation in our communities.

APPLICATION FOR CONSIDERATION:
Please complete the attached application and submit it to [email protected] no later than Friday, January 5, 2024.
