New Business: 

Director Hilgenbrinck stated this is the second of three meetings for this committee. A revised report has been prepared and is included in the packet. He reported that the District continues to annually receive the Certificate of Achievement for Excellence in Financial Reporting issued by the Government Finance Officers Association. This is evidence that the District desires to provide transparency and full disclosure to the community. An example of the District’s efficiency is the resiliency to remain operational during COVID. Westview’s operations during that time is a great example. The District has a wide range of policies to maintain efficient operations since 1941. The District is involved with local programs as well. An example is working with the school district and implementing a Special Populations Program. The District has affiliations with many professional groups, some of those being the National Recreation and Park Association, Illinois Association of Park Districts, Illinois Park and Recreation Association, Quincy Area Chamber of Commerce, Illinois Government Finance Officers Association, National Government Finance Officers Association. This committee will meet one more time next month to approve the final report. No changes to the report were needed at this time. 

PUBLIC INPUT: None.
