Dear Ms. Ronan:

The Frankfort Square Park District is aware of your concern regarding the lily pads.  In 2008, the district contracted an outside firm to apply herbicides as a control measure in these areas.  In 2009, a staff member completed course work, testing, and certification to provide aquatic herbicides in this area and throughout the district when necessary.  The park district is in a much better position to address your concern earlier and more often than in the past.

If you would like me to notify you of application dates, enabling you to personally track the progress, please let me know.

I have been encouraging residents to present concerns directly to Commissioners for many years.  I highly encourage you to take the opportunity to attend a meeting in the coming months.

Sincerely,

Jim Randall
