Contract Type FiledDecember 5th, 2016 JurisdictionSchool and park areas and public facilities represent a major capital investment, and current demands and taxing capacity emphasize the urgency more than ever for the planning and using these facilities for the maximum benefit of the community. Public schools, facilities, parks, and other public open space belong to the people. It is in the best interests of the Park District of Oak Park (the “Park District”) and Oak Park & River Forest High School District 200 (“District 200”) and their constituents that they work together to coordinate, integrate, and consolidate the planning, acquisition, development, and general operation of public facilities when basic functions are compatible and a public benefit may be derived. There has been a tradition of excellent cooperation between the Districts, and District 200 and the Park District desire to continue, and to enhance, that tradition.
