Plainfield Park Board to Schedule Personnel Meeting, Elect Secretary and Treasurer

The Plainfield Park District Board of Commissioners will meet this week to elect a treasurer and secretary, as well as set a date for a special meeting to discuss personnel.

The district is in the process of finding a new executive director following the departure of Garrett Peck in January. 

In April, the board appointed retired Elmhurst Park District Executive Director Richard Grodsky as the interim director as the search got under way.

The board is slated to conduct interviews with candidates this month, with plans to have a new director in place by July 21.

Currently, park district Director of Communications Doug Booth serves as treasurer and Executive Secretary Wendi Calabrese is secretary.

According to the agenda, the board will also vote on Grodsky's recommendation to keep Kavanagh, Grumley & Gorbald as the park district's legal firm.

Grodsky is also slated to make a reorganization presentation, while Director of Finance Maureen Nugent will give the board a 2014-15 budget draft presentation.

The meeting is at 6 p.m. Wednesday at the Heritage Professional Building, 24023 W. Lockport St.
