There were no public comments.
Board discusses salary classifications
The meeting included a presentation regarding a study of the park district’s salary classification structures. As Elmhurst Park District Executive Director Jim Rogers explained, the district conducted the study to determine the best allocation of its labor dollars. About one year ago, the district selected Northbrook-based GovHR USA to conduct the study, which required all of the district’s full-time employees to fill out a questionnaire. GovHR USA chief executive officer Joellen Earl gave a presentation about the study during the meeting. She noted her firm held meetings and conducted interviews with district employees to gain more information about their positions. GovHR USA also compiled a salary survey of comparable park districts. Elmhurst Park District staff members are currently reviewing the information provided in the study.
Trane tabbed to replace Courts Plus HVAC units
Board members voted unanimously during the meeting to award a contract of nearly $52,000 to Trane to replace two Heating, Ventilation and Air Conditioning (HVAC) units at Courts Plus. The two units to be replaced serve Kids Plus on the fitness club’s lower level and Fit 4 Life on the lower level. Both systems are the oldest HVAC units in the building. According to information provided by the park district, each of the two units is about 20 years old and in need of replacement.
The park district board will hold its next regular meeting on June 12.
