2016 Annual Report

Dedicated to helping our members thrive through research, education and advocacy.

On Friday, August 5th, 2016, Vanderlei de Lima lit the Olympic cauldron to signify the beginning of the Games of the XXXI Olympiad in Rio de Janeiro. De Lima was not a gold medalist, nor a legendary Brazilian champion. He was, however, the right man for the job because he emulated the true spirit of the Olympic Games. During the 2004 Athens Olympics, de Lima unpredictably led in the final stage of the marathon. His best time for 26.2 miles was nearly four minutes slower than that of the pre-race favorite, Kenyan Paul Tergat. As the front runner, however, de Lima was in position to pull off the mighty upset, until with four miles left in the historic race, a spectator pulled him into the crowd for several fateful seconds before a bystander intervened, allowing him to get back on course. He only lost seven seconds, but it ended up being the death knell to his gold-medal hopes. De Lima was passed by two runners, but he held on for the bronze medal and showed unusual grace in the face of what had happened 20 minutes earlier. Although he did not win, he was widely recognized as having embodied the Olympic spirit. And, 12 years later, he was bestowed the great honor of final torch bearer, igniting a flame that he had symbolically lit in the hearts of millions who had watched him cross the finish line, giving his best in 2004. At IAPD, we join those striving to be the best at Illinois park districts, forest preserves, conservation, recreation and special recreation agencies, those who have that same unwavering human spirit in their hearts, fueled by something much more valuable than gold, silver or bronze. The reward we all receive for our hard work is that we get to be a part of making our communities and Illinois a better place. We are dedicated to helping our members through an array of programs and affinity partnerships designed to make it easier for you to protect parks and open space and provide services to your constituents that bring families together, offer safe places for children to grow, provide camaraderie and purpose for seniors, and preserve natural areas. The Illinois Association of Park Districts provides a full spectrum of educational workshops, webinars, publications and a content-filled website designed to assist board members and professionals with the tools they need to be the best in everything they do. Our newsletters, legislative updates and social media posts provide timely information allowing our members to take quick action on important issues. And, we promote grassroots legislative advocacy to protect funding for our agencies, such as this year’s full release of OSLAD and PARC funds – a great achievement considering the State’s challenging budget issues. We encourage you to review our 2016 Annual Report to learn about the many ways IAPD carries the torch alongside our membership to light the way for Illinois parks, recreation and conservation.

Our Mission – The Illinois Association of Park Districts is a non-profit service, research and educational organization that serves park districts, forest preserves, conservation, recreation and special recreation agencies. The association advances these agencies, their citizen board members and professional staff in their ability to provide outstanding park and recreation opportunities, preserve natural resources and improve the quality of life for all people in Illinois.

Our Vision – As a national leader, the Illinois Association of Park Districts will provide superb association services to its members.

CARRYINGthe TORCH“The torch relay is an excellent embodiment of all that the Olympic Games have come to symbolize – a celebration of the human spirit. Personally, to me, it represents striving to be the best in whatever we do.”

IAPD’s perseverance in overcoming the obstacles created by the State’s budget crisis resulted in the full release of OSLAD and PARC funds along with several other great achievements that will provide our member agencies with increased opportunities to make their vision come true.

In 2016, IAPD:

• Successfully advocated for the passage of House Bill 4536/Public Act 99-0771, which provides park districts, forest preserves and conservation districts the ability to save time, expense and administrative burden by raising the bid limit threshold from $20,000 to $25,000.

Always available to speak with board members and executive staff, we responded to more than 350 legal inquiries and distributed more than 30 weekly legislative alerts, updates, legal news briefs and legislative advocacy videos to keep members informed of recent court decisions, new federal rules, important election information, deadlines and training opportunities.

• Worked with members of the Governor’s administration, the IDNR director and other key legislative leaders and staff to convey the importance of appropriating funds for OSLAD and PARC in the June stop-gap budget. This successful communication strategy protected these funds from special fund sweeps and resulted in a $50 million appropriation for OSLAD and a $50 million appropriation for PARC in a budget that contained relatively little capital appropriation aside from transportation expenses.

• Published the 2nd edition of IAPD’s Guide to Public Sector Employment Laws, which was carefully reviewed to ensure the inclusion of all recently enacted laws. This latest version is enhanced with new legal checklists, sample policies and other tools.

• Developed a newly-designed, all-inclusive publication on Legislative Advocacy for all IAPD Legislative Conference attendees. This valuable resource included simple steps for success and featured legislative tools and advocacy tips.

• Partnered with the University of Illinois on a research report that included a national literature review on the issue of local government consolidation. The report concluded that consolidation does not save taxpayer dollars and, in fact, may result in higher costs for local taxpayers.

• Attended all 16 meetings of the Governor’s Local Government Consolidation and Unfunded Mandates Task Force. Our active participation resulted in an invitation from Lt. Governor Sanguinetti to speak at a task force press conference. IAPD was commended for the information that we provided about the impact of unfunded mandates on park districts.

• Tracked 729 different bills and monitored more than 1,800 bills for their impact on the IAPD membership and the citizens they serve.

• Attended all 10 legislative breakfasts in member districts held throughout the state, interacting with more than 50 legislators and 525 IAPD members.

“It was a moment of overcoming obstacles and of dreams coming true.” — Vanderlei de Lima, 2004 Marathon Bronze Medalist
