Board of Commissioners

101 W. Illinois Ave., Aurora, Illinois ● 630-897-0516 ● Directions

The Fox Valley Park District is governed by a seven-member Board of Commissioners, which approves all policy and financial decisions, and also appoints the Executive Director, along with the Park District attorney and auditors.

In 2017 – for the first time in the Park District’s 70-year history – residents took to the voting booth to elect seven commissioners from three two-member districts, and one commissioner at large.

By lottery, four commissioners were selected to serve four-year terms, with three commissioners to serve a two-year term with four-year terms thereafter, if re-elected. Elections for Fox Valley Park District commissioners will be held on the first Tuesday in April of odd-numbered years, beginning in 2019, as part of the consolidated general election.

Open Meetings of the Board of Commissioners are to be held at a minimum of six (6) times per calendar year and are normally held on the second Monday of each month as listed on the board approved meeting schedule. Deviations from the second Monday may occur in months where a legal holiday falls within the first two weeks of the meeting month, or at the discretion of the President or Executive Director.
