need watering at MDL. The gravel pathways need to be leveled, compacted
and topped with limestone. We need hoses & nozzles for the water
wagon. The mini-golf ball net between the green cap needs replacement.

others for “borrow type use.“ The “Open” signs need to be installed on
Highway 73. The MDL throw rings can be placed and tied tight to the
dock. Roger/Joe will take these out.

LENA COMMUNITY PARK DISTRICT
Regular Monthly Meeting
November 12, 2007
The regular meeting of the Lena Community Park District
was called to order at 6:30 P.M. by President Joe Green. All meeting
notices were posted for meeting. Those present at roll include: Joe
Green, President; Mark Jordan, Vice-President; Dennis Bussian,
Treasurer; Roger Schamberger, Secretary. Staff present: Steve Wollny,
Executive Director; Helene Trebian, Program Director/Food Court
Manager; Lee Ann Brinkmeier, Bookkeeper. Absent at roll: Brian Keeffer,
Advisor, (excused).
The Lena Community Park District will have a Truth-In-Taxation Hearing
at 6:15 pm on December 10, 2007 followed by our regular monthly meeting
at 6:30 P.M. at LCPD offices. Lee Ann will post in information box and

in attendance at the Stephenson County Public Works Committee meeting
on December 7, 2007 at the SC Highway Department Office on Lamm
Road-Freeport 9:00 am.
Jane Michaels, Lena-Winslow Community Unit Schools District 202
Superintendent, attended our meeting for the purpose of introduction
and to discuss our working relationship. It was our mutual feelings
that the working relationship, shared facilities and resources between
the Lena-Winslow Schools and the Lena Community Park District should
continue and be strengthened. It was also noted that communications and
ideas to improve our relationship should be expanded for the mutual
benefit of the citizens that we represent and serve. We discussed the
facilities and events that are part of our share agreement and noted
some of the misconceptions.
*A motion by Mark Jordan and seconded by Dennis Bussian to approve the
minutes of the October 8, 2007 meeting as presented. Pass 3/0
Lee Ann Brinkmeier, Bookkeeper’s Report: We reviewed and discussed
account balances. There is approximately $8,500.00 due from the
Stephenson County Treasurer’s Office. Lee Ann has worked on the levy
and updates to public notices. She will have Attorney John B. Whiton
review these.
*A motion by Dennis Bussian and seconded by Mark Jordan to pay bills of
$18,079.90 as presented. Pass 3/0
Dennis Bussian’s Report: We discussed the upcoming levy and
Truth-In-Taxation process. There will be a growth in the EAV of our
District in the upcoming year due to new construction growth. It is
important to add this new construction EAV growth to the total EAV in
order for the total LCPD tax rate to decrease. Although the “Black Box
“ad appears negative, it is good for property owners, as it drives down
the overall LCPD tax rate. The reassessment of property values by the
Stephenson County Supervisor of Assessments Office is the driving force
for increasing amount of taxes paid to the LCPD, not the LCPD Board.
Steve Wollny, Executive Director’s Report: The blue Ford van was sold
for $500.00. The landscape stone was placed around the (3) entry signs
at Lions Park and look very nice. The shingle replacement at Lions
shelter house, three stall and two stall is complete. The Lena Lions
Club paid for the shingles on the two stall building. Don Brown has
reduced our rent for the non-Summer months at the Activity Center.
Steve/Lee Ann will send a letter to Don indicating his donation. We
discussed the Splash Land freezer building. Steve will research freezer
height requirements and get prices on construction materials. This will
be a staff built project hopefully yet this Fall. We discussed the
recent Lena Lions Projects committee meeting on October 24, 2007. Very
interesting. We discussed building an additional shelter house or
gazebo at Lions Park in the area of the old (now removed) oak tree and
what requirements may better serve the public or Lions Club-Fall
Festival. Steve will contact Mike Thill of the Lena Lions Club.
*A motion by Dennis Bussian and seconded by Roger Schamberger to
purchase (6) sets of the heavy 2 3/8” galvanized picnic table frames at
$1,140.00. Pass 3/0
We discussed purchasing a lap top computer. We will look for the best
price & capabilities package and Steve will make a recommendation
at our December meeting. A lap top will have many additional benefits
for events, Food Court, etc. We discussed the lawn mowing position and
the many applicants and interviews. We had three candidates that were
looking for part-time mowing work. The recommendation was to hire all
three and divide the responsibilities.
*A motion by Roger Schamberger and seconded by Mark Jordan to hire
Larry Roberts, Tom Kloepping and Dan Brinkmeier for the shared turf

schedules. Pass 3/0

Roger Schamberger’s Report: We discussed Joyce Werkheiser’s concerns
about our locked restrooms. Joyce had a bad experience and wanted the
Board to know. The restrooms were locked because of juveniles
vandalizing these facilities after school. Roger and Joe will be
meeting with Terry Price to discuss his opinions on the use of the
property at McConnell. Roger will be meeting with Roger Anderson, Steve
Shippy, Joe Ginger and Lee Butler to discuss their concerns on the use
of the property at McConnell. We discussed the recent meeting with the
