None
IV. Fitness Center Fees Discussion
Jason Busdeker, Facility Manager, brought to the Board for discussion, the Staff recommended FY23
fees with an increase of 3%. This revenue projection increase is based on current memberships.
The numbers increased slightly over the summer, however, some members are still not comfortable
to return. Board member Marshall inquired about freezing memberships. Jason Busdeker responded
requested memberships have been placed on hold. Any members that cancelled have unused credit
placed on their account to use towards a future membership. To help cut down on labor costs,
fitness supervisors have been helping by filling in at the front desk and floor supervisor shifts.
Mr. Busdeker talked about the promotions currently running. One is Silver Sneakers, and the
renewing of senior active memberships in the insurance based program. Currently, there are about
75 members between these programs. The fitness center is continuing to offer one, two and three
month membership options. Members seem more comfortable with these short term options. Drop
in child care is still available with a limited number of children allowed due to staff/child ratio.
Discussion followed on the 3% fee increase and the factors behind it. Mr. Busdeker talked about
ideas staff will be using to promote memberships in January. A letter is scheduled to go out in
January as a membership drive to past members highlighting new pieces of equipment and changes
to the fitness center. Board member Carden asked how the fitness center rates are compared to
local competitive centers. Mr. Busdeker replied our rates are lower in most levels and compared to
private sectors our rates are quite a bit lower.
V. Lakefront Fees Discussion
Aaron Dalzot, Lakefront Manager, presented for discussion the staff recommendations of a 3%
increase in the majority of resident and non-resident permit fee categories. Staff recommends the
fees remain constant for FY23 in the following categories: Nanny and Caregiver Parking Pass,
Resident Guest Daily Parking Pass, Non-resident Beach Access Fee, and the Non-resident Daily Boat
Launch. Discussion followed on the fee increase and attendance numbers.
VI. Pavilion Rental Permit Fees Discussion
Aaron Dalzot, Lakefront Manager presented for discussion the Park and Lakefront Pavilion Permit
Fees for FY23. Staff is recommending fees remain the same for FY23 Park Pavilion Permits. Mr.
Dalzot went over the recommended fee changes for the Lakefront Pavilion Permits. Staff is
recommending two options for renting a lakefront pavilion.
Option A: Raising the pavilion rental fee to $150.00 for a 4 hour block and including 10 parking
passes.
Option B: Pavilion rental fee remains the same of $100.00, but allowing only 6 parking passes.
Because parking at the beach is in high demand, Staff hopes this will alleviate the current issue of
people renting a pavilion in order to get the 10 parking passes for $100.00, instead of paying the fee
of $15.00 for an individual guest parking pass. Option A will generate an increase in revenue by
$1350.00 while Option B would not have a fiscal impact. Discussion followed on the two options
presented.
VII. Golf Course Fees Discussion
Patrick O’Donoghue, KemperSports Management, presented to the Board the recommended FY23
fees. Mr. O’Donoghue talked briefly about the current construction at the Golf Course and the
30,000 square foot putting facility that is expected to be completed around Memorial Day next year.
Mr. O’Donoghue went over the FY23 fees and explained how staff analyzed several factors,
including utilization and surrounding course fees when determining the new fees. Staff is
recommending a 1% increase for all the classifications and memberships. A discount is offered for
adult single members to all residents of Lake Forest and Lake Bluff. Staff is expecting a slight
decrease in play as more people are returning back to work. Mr. O’Donoghue went over some line
items and the slight increases. A Loyalty program was started with 160 members over the last year.
Discussion followed on the increase in the range ball bucket fees.
VIII. Comments by Director

Haunted Trail Walk, October 9th at 7pm at Northcroft Park

IX. Board Member Comments
Board member Silver brought up the topic of a meeting at Gorton regarding funding for the turf
fields at Deerpath Park. Board member Marshall commented it was a community sponsored event
held to generate interest and excitement for the Masterplan and what’s coming up. It was a nice
event to get the community excited and generate support. There will be a turf field update by
Superintendent Joe Mobile at the next meeting. There is a link to the Feasibility Study on the
website for anyone to access.

SUBJECT: Approval of the Recommended Lake Forest Fitness Center Fees for FY23
PRESENTED BY: Jason Busdeker, Facility Manager (847-810-3934)
PURPOSE AND ACTION REQUESTED: Staff is seeking approval of the Lake Forest Fitness
Center fees for Fiscal Year 2023.
BACKGROUND/DISCUSSION: The Fitness Center fees are part of the City Council fee
approval process and therefore staff are seeking your approval and request to move
the fees forward to City Council later this year. This annual Park and Recreation Board
approval is a necessary part of the budget process for Fitness Center operations as staff
begin to prepare our operating budgets for fiscal year 2023.
Attached is the proposed fee structure for Fitness Center membership types for FY2023.
Staff is recommending an adjusted 3% increase to the majority of our membership fees
in order to offset increased utilities, supplies and personnel expenses as well as to stay
competitive in the local fitness market. Membership fees were adjusted by 3% then
rounded accordingly to the nearest dollar to be evenly divisible by 12 for the ease of
the monthly billing options. Staff takes a conservative approach for revenue growth by
assuming membership levels will remain the same throughout the year based on
membership totals in August.
To remain consistent with all Recreation programming, staff has adjusted the non-
resident fee to the 20% increase over the resident fee as stated in Department policy for
program fees.
BUDGET/FISCAL IMPACT: Staff anticipates a positive revenue differential of $3,221 over
FY2022 with this nominal increase in membership rates. All fees will become effective
May 1, 2022.
RECOMMENDED PARK BOARD ACTION: City Staff are seeking the approval of the
proposed FY2023 Lake Forest Fitness Center fee structure and asking to proceed to City
Council for their approval.

SUBJECT: Approval of the Recommended Lakefront Pavilion Rental Fees for FY2023
PRESENTED BY: Aaron Dalzot, Program Manager of Lakefront (847)-810-3930
PURPOSE AND ACTION REQUESTED: Staff is seeking approval of the Lakefront Pavilion
Rental fees for Fiscal Year 2023.
BACKGROUND/DISCUSSION: The Lakefront Pavilion Rental fees are part of the City
Council fee approval process and therefore staff are seeking your approval and
request to move the fees forward to City Council later this year. This annual Park and
Recreation Board approval is a necessary part of the budget process for Lakefront
operations as staff begin to prepare our operating budgets for fiscal year 2023.
Our facilities that are available for rent at the Lakefront are as follows, The South
Pavilion, Boat Pavilion and Fire Circle. Currently they are $100 for a 4 hour block. Each
rental receives 10 parking passes. The problem that we are seeing is, that people are
renting a pavilion to receive the 10 parking passes, instead of purchasing the guest pass
for $15.00. Which means that guest are renting a pavilion and not using it just for the
parking passes. The last time fees have been raised was in 2019.
Staff are recommending changes to the current fee structure for the Lakefront Pavilion
Rental program. It is recommended that the fee of the pavilion remain at $100 and we
limit the number of included passes to six (6). Under this structure 6 parking passes alone
would cost $90, and then charge $10 for the pavilion rental. Guests would then be able
to purchase an additional 4 parking passes for $15 each for the bottom south lot to
reach the former limit of 10 passes. Residents would still have the option to purchase an
additional 5 passes for the top south lot at $15 as is the current policy.
BUDGET/FISCAL IMPACT: We would see a slight increase in revenue due to the fact that
renters would have to purchase four (4) additional passes if needed to receive 10 total
passes for their rental as in the past.
RECOMMENDED PARK BOARD ACTION: City Staff are seeking the approval of the
proposed FY2023 Lakefront Pavilion Rental fee structure and asking to proceed to City
Council for their approval.
SUBJECT: Approval of the Recommended Park Pavilion Rental Fees for FY23
PRESENTED BY: Aaron Dalzot, Lakefront Program Manager (847) 810-3930
STAFF CONTACT: Anthony Anaszewicz, Athletics Program Manager (847) 810-3945
PURPOSE AND ACTION REQUESTED: Staff is seeking approval of the Park Pavilion Rental
fees for Fiscal Year 2023.
BACKGROUND/DISCUSSION:
In 2018, Staff presented a proposed increase of Fees associated with renting Lake Forest
Park Pavilions, converting Park Pavilion Rental mentality of providing service to a
revenue generating stream. At the same time, Staff presented a plan that described
revisiting these fees every 3 years with a potential increase. This was approved in 2018.
In 2020, due to the Covid-19 Pandemic, Staff did not accept any Park Pavilion Rental
applications in adherence to CDC Guidelines describing suggested safe group sizes.
No funds were gained in 2020. In October of 2020 Staff presented a recommendation
of keeping the fee schedule the same as presented in 2018 due to the Covid-19
Pandemic. This was approved in October of 2020.
The Park Pavilion Rental program did open in June of 2021. To date, Staff has seen 114
Park Pavilion reservations, generating roughly $12,125 in revenue.
Staff is recommending the fee schedule remain the same in FY2023 as it did in FY2022.
Staff is also recommending to readdress fee increases in 2022 for FY2024.
The chart below shows the current fee schedule.
BUDGET/FISCAL IMPACT: The budget impact will be driven by the demand for pavilion
rentals since the fees are being held constant with FY22 fees.
RECOMMENDED PARK BOARD ACTION: City Staff are seeking the approval of the
proposed FY2023 Park Pavilion Rental fee structure and asking to proceed to City
Council for their approval.

SUBJECT: Deerpath Golf Course FY2023 Proposed Fee Changes
PRESENTED BY: Patrick O’Donoghue, General Manager, 847-810-3889
PURPOSE AND ACTION REQUESTED: City staff and KemperSports staff is bringing forward
the Deerpath Golf Course fees for fiscal year 2023. This annual Park and Recreation
Board approval is a necessary part of the budget process for golf course operations as
staff begin to prepare our operating budgets for fiscal year 2023. KemperSports and city
staff is requesting the Park Board to approve and direct staff and KemperSports to bring
the proposed FY2023 Deerpath Golf Course fee structure forward to City Council for
approval as presented.
BACKGROUND/DISCUSSION: Attached is the proposed fee structure for Deerpath Golf
Course for FY2023. We analyzed several factors including utilization and surrounding
facilities fees while putting together the fees schedule. KemperSports and city staff are
recommending the following:
Membership Fees: Increase Annual Pass fee average of 1% per classification
which provides an increased revenue for memberships while taking into
consideration inflation, and wage increases.
Greens Fees: Increase the “ceiling” rate for weekday and weekend fees. Allow
the dynamic pricing model to set prices based off of the utilization of the course.
This will allow the green fee prices to fluctuate and take advantage of times of
increased demand. Golf rates will be adjusted during the season based on
marketplace demands.
Other Fees: Increase the 9-hole cart fee $1.00 to remain competitive and drive
revenue. The fee list attached shows the 18-hole cart fee, which remains $20.00
per player. Range bucket pricing increases $1.00 on large and small baskets as
driving range business continues to grow. We also propose raising the popular
loyalty program from $65.00 to $70.00.
BUDGET/FISCAL IMPACT: We are projecting that with people likely returning to work in
FY2023, a drop in rounds played. These price increases will help by increasing revenue
and the per player average round price in FY2023.
RECOMMENDED PARK BOARD ACTION:
City staff and KemperSports are requesting the approval of the proposed FY2023
Deerpath Golf Course fee structure and asking to proceed to City Council for their
approval.

Page 1FY23 Budget DRAFT
SUBJECT: Sports Complex at Deerpath Park Update
PRESENTED BY: Joe Mobile, Superintendent of Recreation (847-810-3941)
PURPOSE AND ACTION REQUESTED: Staff is seeking a rating of criteria for evaluating
options for athletic field improvements at Deerpath Park
BACKGROUND/DISCUSSION: The record rainfall the past few years and requests from
the community athletic associations has put the condition of our athletic fields and the
need for field improvements as a priority. In order to look at the athletic fields, Staff had
once again partnered with the Friends of Lake Forest Parks and Recreation Foundation
to hire Hitchcock Design Group to undertake an Athletic Field Assessment. The goal of
this Athletic Field Assessment was to gain a better understanding of the field conditions
across all City parks, how the fields are used, options for improvements, and
consideration of priorities. Through the use of the data provided by the Field
Assessment, staff have provided information to the Park Board and City Council in
regards to a sports complex option at Deerpath Park.
The original presentation in July was focused on synthetic turf playing fields replacing
the current surface at Deerpath Park. From the presentation, questions have arisen,
seeking answers staff hired Gewalt Hamilton Associates to conduct a schematic design
evaluation for the project. Through this process information has been provided
answering the questions from the July presentation including; costs, environmental
concerns and safety concerns. Additionally, staff was instructed to gather information
on a natural turf surface option measuring similar criteria.
The sports complex study has expanded to include either natural grass or synthetic turf
as options for field improvements and staff will be asking City Council to assign money
to a field improvement project to be designed in FY23. Prior to the City Council
approval, the staff will engage the community in an engagement process providing
several opportunities from November – February for input on both options. City Staff are
also currently developing a survey to send to residents asking them for their top three
criteria for evaluating options for athletic field improvements at Deerpath Park.
Staff is asking the Park Board to rate the following criteria in order of importance. from
the Boards perspective to pass on to City Council. The criteria are listed below:
Amenities Economic Opportunity
Environmental Impacts Financial Costs
Health & Safety Maximize Field Playability
Parking Availability and Traffic Impacts
The Board’s rating will be passed forward to City Council as a tool for their discussion at
the November 2021 Budget Workshop.
RECOMMENDED PARK BOARD ACTION: Staff is seeking a rating of criteria for evaluating
options for athletic field improvements at Deerpath Park
