Introducing Executive Director Chris Leiner The Northbrook Park District has a new Executive Director, Chris Leiner, who took the helm September 1 after an impressive rise to the top of his profession.

Chris, 39, was the Park District’s Director of Parks and Properties for 19 months before being selected by the Board of Commissioners to lead the Park District. He succeeded Molly Hamer, who retired in September after a 37-year career in parks and recreation.

Before joining the Northbrook Park District, Chris worked for seven years as Director of Parks and Planning for the Glencoe Park District, where he was part of the team that earned a 2019 National Gold Medal for Excellence in Park and Recreation Management from the American Academy for Park and Recreation in partnership with the National Recreation and Park Association. Prior to that, he spent two years as Assistant Director of Parks and Planning for the Des Plaines Park District, and six years as Maintenance and Operations Supervisor for the Park District of Oak Park.

Northbrook Park District Board President Lisa Chalem praised Chris’s expertise and accomplishments.

“Chris is hard-working and energetic. He has led major projects for the District, brought in new funding sources, and helped remedy our staffing shortages,” she said. “Chris’s background in business, parks and recreation makes him a great choice to lead the Northbrook Park District.”

Chris lives in Gurnee with his wife, a 7th grade teacher, and their 7-year-old son and 4-year-old daughter.

During his time in Northbrook, Chris has come to deeply appreciate its educated and conscientious community, which the district endeavors to serve with incredible programming and services.

“Our well-managed District, supported by a dedicated community, is a testament to the outstanding work of our team,” Chris said.

“We’re committed to bringing joy and creating cherished memories for everyone. Together, we’re shaping the future of recreation and leisure, and I’m thrilled to be a part of it.”

Chris’s career in parks and recreation traces back to high school, when he held jobs as a lifeguard, custodian, concessions worker and Zamboni ice machine driver. His first full-time supervisor position in Oak Park came during the recession of 2007, at a time when finding work was difficult for many. “It was a formative experience at a bestin-class district that became a launching point for my career. That first job became a home away from home,” he said.

A graduate of Oak Park and River Forest High School, Chris said he believed college wasn’t for him until he became a supervisor in Oak Park and realized that a degree would propel his career forward. He graduated from the University of Phoenix with a degree in business in 2014.

His leadership style hinges on empowering people, giving them the opportunity to innovate and never micromanaging. “When you are a laborer or supervisor, you can become the star player in your area,” he said. “But when you graduate to higher levels of leadership, you stop being a star player and you start being a coach.”

Pending major projects for the Northbrook Park District include upgrades at Meadowhill Aquatic Center and the renovation of the Leisure Center.

Chris said he is looking forward to working with the Board to set the District’s strategic focus, leading collaboration among staff divisions and finding opportunities to partner with other units of local government to judiciously manage taxpayer resources.

Working in parks and recreation has been immensely rewarding, Chris said, because it has given him an opportunity to help shape formative memories for the community.

“Whether it’s playgrounds, pools, parks or golf courses,” he said, “you are bringing delight to people.”

NORTHBROOK PARK DISTRICT

NEWSWORTHY NOTES Best of the Best Awards

Prairie Park and Fields athletic fields. The new equipment will reduce energy consumption and conserve water.

We also completed 95% of our LED replacement project at our facilities and parks, and converted athletic turf into a native area that filters stormwater runoff as part of the renovation of Oaklane Park.

Arts for Everyone At Northbrook Park District, we strive for excellence in everything we do, from offering exciting and inclusive programming and services, to responsibly investing in environmental stewardship to benefit the entire community.

We are proud that the Illinois Association of Park Districts recognized our initiatives with two “Best of the Best” awards in October: the Best Green Practices award and the Arts in the Park award.

Green Initiatives

This year, the Park District became the first park district in Illinois whose parks — specifically, Techny Prairie Park and Fields and Wood Oaks Green Park — have earned the prestigious certification from the Audubon Cooperative Sanctuary Program.

The certification by Audubon International requires meeting rigorous standards in environmental planning, wildlife and habitat management, outreach and education, chemical use reduction and safety, water conservation and water quality management.

Another green initiative was an extensive well replacement and irrigation project conducted this summer at the golf courses and the Techny

The Arts in the Park award recognized the Park District’s commitment to providing arts opportunities to the community. With large free events, performances and small group instruction, the arts can be found at Northbrook Theatre, dance studios, program rooms and in our parks.

Tuesdays in the Park, our summer concert series, this year offered seven evenings of free concerts averaging 500 or more attendees weekly.

Musical genres this year included blues, rock and roll, big band, jazz, country, youth performers, and Caribbean rock.

This year, we also launched Grapes on the Green, a wine tasting event for people ages 21 and up.

Our theatre programming offers entertainment for the whole family, with a new component specifically aimed at children ages 5 and below.

Our Park Larks senior choir returned this fall to bring music and fellowship at local community centers and events. In addition, seniors partake in culturally relevant trips to theatres, museums and performances throughout the year.

A Generous Grant

Next year, we will present “Naked Mole Rat Gets Dressed: The Rock Experience” from January 27 to February 11. Based on the hit children’s book by Mo Willems, it’s the story of Wilbur, a naked mole rat who discovers a love for clothing and style.

“Across the Sand,” from April 14 to April 28, is a theatrical experience, best for the little ones and their families, that will bring the story of Passover to life using performance, live music and sensory storytelling.

Well Done, Coach!

Our beloved professional figure skating coach Debbie Stoery received the Professional Skaters Association’s 2023 Shulman Award for Lifetime Achievement.

A grant from the Illinois Arts Council Agency will help the Park District continue presenting high-quality theatre productions for participants and audiences.

The Park District has received IACA grants every year since 2019. To qualify for the grant, organizations must show their programs and activities have artistic, educational and cultural value for the areas they serve.

The $9,600 matching grant will be used to fund performance arts programming for all age groups, including through Northbrook Theatre Youth Company and Northbrook Community Theatre.

“We are thrilled to be recognized by the IACA and awarded this grant to continue assisting us in providing quality theatre programming for the community of Northbrook and beyond,” said Northbrook Park District Superintendent of Arts and Recreation Erin Sweet.

This year, check out “A Christmas Carol: A Live Radio Play,” in which the Charles Dickens classic comes alive as a live 1940s broadcast complete with vintage commercials on December 16.

Debbie is among few coaches in the world who hold the highest PSA rating, the master rating, in freestyle, choreography and skating skills.

Her students have qualified for World Figure Skating Championships, World Junior Figure Skating Championships, U.S. National Championships and U.S. Junior Championships.

She also had a significant impact in the development of Olympians Caryn Kadavy, Nicole Bobek, Melissa Gregory and Evan Lysacek.

Four of her students, including Kadavy, were the first to perform a new technical element in competition.

With all those successes, Debbie said her greatest achievement in her 53 years as a professional figure skating coach has been teaching life skills to hundreds of students, mostly at the Northbrook Sports Center.

“Most people who are signing up their kids for classes at the Northbrook Sports Center have never skated themselves,” she said. “They recognize that when their children achieve success in an individual sport like skating, it enhances their self-esteem and can counter the toxic effects of social media.”

8 | Northbrook Park District | nbparks.org | 847-291-2993

There is big news in Debbie’s personal life, too: last month she married August “Gus” Locallo, a longtime Northbrook Park District volunteer baseball coach.

Budgeting Excellence For the 24th consecutive year, the Park District received the Distinguished Budget Presentation Award from the Government Finance Officers Association.

The budget was led by Director of Finance and Technology Mike Tokar and Business Manager Ellen Drahos. The award goes to state and local governments that adhere to the highest principles of governmental budgeting.

inducted into the 2022 Sports Hall of Fame.

Longtime baseball coaches Gus Locallo and Stuart Spiegel were inducted into the 2022 Volunteer Hall of Fame.

The Park District has recognized more than 60 volunteers and athletes through Hall of Fame induction since 1978. Watch for nomination information in early 2024.

Goodbye, Bur Oak

“This recognition underscores our dedication to providing our stakeholders with budgets that not only meet high standards, but also reflect our organization’s commitment to sound financial management,” Park District Executive Director Chris Leiner said.

Honoring Athletes & Volunteers

Sadly, in the fall we had to bid farewell to one of our centuries-old bur oak trees that died at Village Green Park.

The bur oak was likely about 250 years old and had been showing signs of decline — such as early dropping of leaves and thinning of the canopy — for the past two to three years, said Northbrook Park District Grounds Supervisor Chris Ryerson. A certified arborist determined that the bur oak had reached the end of its life and needed to be removed for safety purposes.

Four accomplished athletes and two dedicated volunteers were inducted into Northbrook Park District’s Hall of Fame in August.

Professional hockey player J.T. Compher and Olympic speed skater Brian Hansen were inducted into the 2020 Sports Hall of Fame, while Olympic speed skater Lana Gehring and Olympic hockey player Jesse Compher were

To recognize how much the community cherishes these majestic trees, a celebration was held October 15 in honor of the bur oak. The event featured crafts and activities, along with a chance to learn about the tree’s history.

Overall, the Park District has 807 oak trees across its 543 acres.

IMPROVING COMMUNITY SPACES Technological Innovations in the Parks Department If you visit Techny Prairie Park and Fields (TPPF) in Northbrook on any given day, you might see a 40-inch-long, bright blue metal box on wheels, quietly whirring as it rolls along the grass.

Acquired in the spring by the Park District, the field line-marking robot uses technology to map the precise dimensions of sports fields, so lines are painted within a quarter-inch accuracy.

The robot, which reduces labor and emissions, is among a wide array of technological innovations at the Park District, which has had a longstanding, forward-thinking commitment to investing in cutting-edge systems and machinery to promote efficiency and sustainability.

An all-electric van is expected to be delivered in late 2023. The van will be programmed to charge overnight when electrical costs are lower due to nonpeak rates. The Park District’s fleet of vehicles also includes a hybrid car used for administrative purposes.

The Park District has made a concerted effort to invest in HVAC upgrades that reduce energy usage, including heat pump systems that reduce the use of natural gas. The Park District is currently installing an electric heat pump water heater at the Leisure Center, and the plan is to implement electrification of additional systems.

That commitment is reflected in the numbers: from 2019 to 2022, the Park District has experienced a 45% reduction of energy usage, at a savings of $147,461 in yearly expenses.

Another robot used by the Park District is a mower that runs about 10 hours per day, seven days per week, for an ongoing pilot project at TPPF. The battery powered mower recharges itself at a station powered by the solar panels on the roof of Techny Prairie Activity Center (TPAC).

The top-of-the-line robotic mower also uses technology and can be operated at any park.

The TPAC building, which opened in 2021, continues to operate at a highly efficient level, generating more annual energy through its 833 rooftop solar panels than the building consumes. TPAC is only the third verified Net Zero building in Illinois. It was verified Net Zero 12 months after the solar panels started producing energy, and was certified as a PHIUS+ 2015 and Source Zero project by the Passive House Institute US. The Park District received a $1.78 million grant from the Illinois Clean Energy Community Foundation for the construction of this facility.

The Park District has an array of electric and hybrid equipment, including electric debris blowers, electric line and hedge trimmers and a hybrid reel mower with electric components powered by a diesel generator.

Nearly 95% of Park District lighting has been converted to energy efficient LED with a project that started in mid-2022 utilizing a grant from ComEd. LED lighting has been a positive addition to the ice rinks at the Northbrook Sports Center.

The previous fluorescent lighting produced heat that altered the ice, which put a higher demand on the building’s refrigeration system. Adding insulation to the envelope of the building also has had a positive effect on energy usage.

These innovations support the Park District’s mission to enhance our community by providing outstanding services, parks and facilities through environmental, social and financial stewardship.

Camp Locations

Camp Details

All camp locations will be available in the Summer Guide mailed April 12.

Camper Groups

Camp groups are formed by age/grade and school. Friendship requests are not available.

Lunch Program

Families have the option of ordering lunches for campers through Kiddos Catering. In May, parents/guardians will receive details about the program including menu choices and ordering instructions. Some camps may not participate in the Kiddos Catering program.

NSSRA – Inclusion Services

The Park District partners with the Northern Suburban Special Recreation Association (NSSRA) to offer recreation programs and services to residents of all abilities. NSSRA support staff is available to work alongside program participants, assisting with special needs and behavior. Participants requesting support should check the ADA box on the registration form. If you are registering online, call Nancy Eschker at 847-291-2995 to discuss your camper’s needs and request additional support. Call at least one month prior to camp start dates to review your NSSRA support plan.

Residency

Some Village of Northbrook residents are not residents of the Northbrook Park District.

Non-residents are charged a slightly higher fee. If you have questions about residency, call 847-291-2993.

Wait Lists

If the camp you want is full, we encourage you to place your child on a waiting list (one per child per week/session). If space becomes available, wait list participants will be contacted. Payment is required within 24 hours of this notification to confirm enrollment.

Transfers

We recognize that some campers may need to change their enrollment due to scheduling conflicts. Transfer requests will be granted only if the desired program has openings.

Payment Plan

Payment plans are available for all camps.

Register at nbparks.org/summercamps to utilize the payment plan. If the available payment plan does not meet your needs, call 847-291-2993. All balances must be paid in full before the start of the program. Scholarships are also available. See below for details.

Refunds/Withdrawal Fees

All refunds are subject to an administrative fee of 10% of the program cost.

Are You Covered?

The Northbrook Park District does not carry medical or accident insurance for program participants as the cost would make program fees prohibitive. Participants should review their personal health insurance plan to be sure you and your family have proper coverage. The absence of coverage does not make the Park District automatically responsible for payment of medical expenses. In addition, certain higher-risk activities require a separate waiver which must be signed before the first session.

ePACT

The Park District uses ePACT Network for better safety. ePACT is a secure emergency network used to collect medical and emergency contact information electronically. ePACT replaces paper forms and ensures we have a way to communicate with you in the event of any changes to the program, an illness, injury or larger scale emergency. All families will receive an invitation to complete their member record using the email address on file.

Scholarship Requests

Residents who meet the criteria can receive financial assistance towards recreation programs and memberships. Applicants only need to qualify once per calendar year.

Contact Melanie Alexander at 847-291-2995 or malexander@nbparks.org for an application form or with questions about the scholarship process.

Lightning Warning Systems The Northbrook Park District has two lightning warning systems. One is located at Heritage Oaks Golf Club with ancillary units at West Park and Wood Oaks Green Park. The other unit is located at Techny Prairie Park and Fields with ancillary units at the Chalet in Meadowhill Park and Village Green Park.

Strike Guard monitors cloud and cloud-to-ground lightning. The lightning warning system will activate when there is an immediate lightning threat in the area. When this occurs you must seek shelter immediately. The unit will deactivate when the immediate threat has passed.

Activation (an immediate lightning threat is present) One uninterrupted (15-second) siren will sound and a strobe will flash.

Deactivation (the system has determined conditions are safe) Three 5-second blasts will sound and the strobe will go off.

Testing takes place on Tuesdays at 9:30am for the lightning systems.

Be sure not to confuse testing with an actual alarm! Testing will not take place if there is threatening weather.

Visit nbparks.org/status for more information.

YOUTH LEAGUES

Team up with the Northbrook Park District! The emphasis of Northbrook Park District Youth Leagues is on the development of children as individuals and athletes, rather than the competitive aspect of winning. The program strives to provide a fun and safe atmosphere in which children learn respect, sportsmanship and skills. All players receive equal playing time and are introduced to all positions.

Team Formation

Teams are organized by grade, school and gender but may be combined if necessary. Staff will contact you when these changes are needed and they will provide you with an opportunity to decide if the change is right for your child.

Friendship requests are available online at nbparks.org/youthleagues. Each participant can only request one friend. Requests must be reciprocal and submitted prior to the early fee deadline. Team formation begins soon after the early fee deadline. Players registering after team formation begins are placed on a waitlist and added to teams if space is available, in the order of registration, without regard for school or friendship requests.

For current League Rules, Parent Player Manual, Friendship Request 60 | Northbrook Park District | nbparks.org | 847-291-2993 and Coaching Applications, visit nbparks.org/youthleagues.

General Registration Information Commitment to Quality

We want you to be happy with your recreation choices!

If you’re not satisfied with a program or instructor, you may ask to repeat the class, transfer to another class or receive a refund. The Park District will try to resolve instructor and/or program issues to your satisfaction. If you are not satisfied, the full or prorated refund will be approved. Requests can be made at any Registration Office or by calling 847-291-2993.

Withdrawal & Transfer Requests

We understand that circumstances arise that may lead to a patron’s inability to participate in a class/program.

Unless otherwise noted, a request for a transfer or refund can be made if: • The request is submitted three business days prior to the start of a program.

• The instructor and participant agree the participant’s skill level is not appropriate.

• The class is canceled or rescheduled and participant cannot attend at the new time.

• The patron cannot participate due to illness or injury (doctor’s note may be required).

Refunds

All refunds are subject to an administrative fee of 10% of the program cost.

Camps, workshops, before/after school care, golf course green fees, adult sports leagues, daily admissions, passes/punch cards, tickets to entertainment, special events and trips may have nonrefundable deposits and/or special restrictions.

Refunds do not apply to program supplies/materials purchased, gift certificates, food and contractual programs.

Program Cancellations

When people wait until the last minute to register, classes may be canceled, so register early to avoid disappointment. If a class is canceled due to low enrollment, those who signed up will be issued a full refund.

Residency

All Village of Northbrook residents are not residents of the Northbrook Park District. Non-residents are charged a slightly higher fee for programs. If you have questions about residency, call the main Registration Office at 847-291-2993.

Health Conditions

Participants should notify the Park District at the time of registration about any medical condition that might require special attention by District staff. Information will remain confidential.

Code of Conduct

Participants are expected to exhibit appropriate behavior at all times in programs and facilities.

That includes respect for all people, equipment and facilities and cooperative, positive participation.

The staff will review rules with participants and may dismiss anyone whose behavior endangers safety or negatively affects a program or facility.

Are You Covered?

The Park District does not carry medical or accident insurance for program participants; the cost would make program fees prohibitive. Review your personal health insurance plan to be sure you and your family have proper coverage. The absence of coverage does not make the Park District automatically responsible for payment of medical expenses. In addition, certain high risk activities require a waiver/release form, which must be signed before the first class.

Scholarship Requests

Because we believe every Park District resident should have the opportunity to participate in our offerings, we will attempt to provide financial assistance to those faced with financial hardship. Youth Services of Glenview/Northbrook assists the District with the administration of our scholarship program. Applicants who meet the criteria can receive financial assistance towards recreation programs and memberships.

Applicants only need to qualify once per calendar year and application forms are available by contacting Melanie Alexander at malexander@nbparks.org or 847-291-2995.

Inclusion

We encourage participation by everyone and provide reasonable accommodations in accordance with ADA standards. If you require program assistance for special needs, check the box on the Registration Form to be contacted by the District’s NSSRA Inclusion Liaison. Questions? Call 847-291-2995.

ADA Compliance

The Northbrook Park District provides recreation opportunities for all residents and encourages participation by everyone. Programs and services are subject to the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA), as well as all applicable laws regarding nondiscrimination. We are happy to make reasonable modifications to assist anyone with special needs who wants to participate in a program. Please contact the District in advance of a program to discuss any necessary accommodation or if you need Park District materials in a special format, such as Braille, large print or audio cassette.

The Park District provides a grievance process for resolution of any ADA complaint alleging discrimination on the basis of a disability. If you have any concerns about Park District ADA compliance, contact Eileen Loftus, Director of Recreation, c/o Northbrook Park District, 545 Academy Drive, Northbrook, Illinois, 60062, phone 847-291-2960 or email eloftus@nbparks.org. The Park District is reviewing its programs and practices in regard to ADA requirements and invites comments from the public.
