The Park Board is composed of five non-paid commissioners selected by park district residents to serve four-year terms. The board is primarily a policy-making body that reflects the needs and interests of all taxpayers in the Park District. Residents are encouraged to take part in the board's decision-making process by attending board meetings on the 2nd and 4th Monday of each month, 7:00 PM at the Alcott Community Center.

Board Of Commissioners
The Park Board is the legal governing authority through which the business of the District is conducted. Park Commissioners are elected by the residents of the District and serve a four-year term without pay. Once the Park Board Meeting has adjourned, all Board members return to their roles as citizen and taxpayer. It is only the Park Board acting at a legally constituted meeting, which has the authority to establish or change policy, sign agreements or award contracts. The Park Board has appointed a professional staff to manage the operation of the District on a daily basis. Citizen complaints should be directed to the staff and only if the problem cannot be resolved at this point should the citizen approach the Park Board at a legally constituted meeting.

Consent Agenda
In January 1990, the Park Board approved a change in the format to include a Consent Agenda. This agenda consists of proposals and recommendations that, in the opinion of the Secretary of the Park Board, will be acceptable to all members of the Board. The purpose of this agenda is to save time by allowing one roll call vote for all items instead of separate votes on each item. Generally, items on the Consent Agenda have been discussed at Committee of the Whole meetings or are routine matters. The procedure followed by the Park Board in its use of the Consent Agenda is as follows:

• When the Consent Agenda is reached on the Park Board meeting agenda, residents are invited to address the Park Board concerning Consent Agenda items.
  
• Any Commissioner wishing to discuss an item on the Consent Agenda may request that the item be removed and placed on the agenda under new business.
  
• At the time of Roll Call, a Commissioner may vote either "aye" or a "nay" vote.
  
• One Roll Call vote is taken which covers all items on the Consent Agenda.
