Referendum Ballot Question-Information for Early Voters and June 28 Voters

Thu May 19, 2022

GENERAL OVERVIEW
The Crystal Lake Park District Board of Commissioners is asking the community to vote on a referendum, placed on the June 28, 2022 ballot, to change terms of office for elected Commissioners from 4 years to 6 years.
The rationale behind asking voters to consider this change is to ensure stability to the community and to the Crystal Lake Park District through a more staggered election cycle. The proposed change would result in 2 to 3 Commissioners being elected every other year instead of the current 3 to 4.
The Board of Commissioners is submitting this referendum to the residents of the Park District to provide continuity in the progress and direction of the Crystal Lake Park District so that a majority of commissioners remain in office at each election.
The Crystal Lake Park District Board of Commissioners are residents of the Park District who are elected to act as representatives of all residents of the District in maintaining and promoting the use of park and recreation activities. There are seven Commissioners, each of whom currently serve a four-year, unpaid term.
