Offsetting Electrical Costs with Solar Panels
Vernon Hills Park District is working with Trane/Ingersoll Rand to apply for grant funding
through the Illinois Shine Program that is administered by the Illinois Power Agency
(an independent state government agency) for solar development on the District's Park
Maintenance Facility rooftop.
The solar panels will save the District roughly $5,000 per year in electrical costs and
cut down approximately 70% use off of the electrical grid. The Illinois Shine Program
assists municipal agencies to install solar systems to harness the free power from the
sun. The south facing roof is desirable for solar power technology.
The Park District has a PPA (Purchase Power Agreement) with Trane/Ingersoll Rand for
the solar power production. This means the Park District does not own the solar panels
or the electricity provided by the solar panels. Instead of paying upfront costs for the
solar panel, the Park District is leasing the space on the flat roof to Trane/Ingersoll Rand
and purchasing the solar power produced. The rate at which the District is purchasing
the solar power is far less than what would be charged by the current electric provider.
New Skate Park Completed
The new state-of-the-art Skate Park, located in the Sullivan Community Center/Family
Aquatic Center parking lot area, is now open.
A community meeting was held in November, 2019 at the Sullivan Community Center.
People in attendance viewed conceptual designs of a new skate park and spoke with
the skate park developer offering their insights on a new design.
Beaver Creek Restoration
In 2020, the Vernon Hills Park District started the
process of developing and restoring Beaver Creek
Park. The park was inundated with invasive species
and pioneer trees that were taking over the entire
property, as well as creating dams in the creek. We
cleared the entire park, properly graded the entire
site, and planted 27 new trees. In addition, we are
working with a land steward company to restore the creek bank for water quality
purposes. The park will have a renewed feeling after a full year of established growth.
Vernon Hills Park District Announced as Finalist for the 2020 National Gold Medal Awards in Parks and Recreation
The American Academy for Park and Recreation Administration (AAPRA), in partnership with the National Recreation and Park Association (NRPA), is pleased to announce Vernon Hills
Park District as a finalist for the 2020 National Gold Medal Awards for Excellence in Park and Recreation Management. Musco Lighting, LLC is proud to continue sponsoring the Gold
Medal Awards program as it has for more than 20 years.
Founded in 1965, the Gold Medal Awards program honors communities in the United States that demonstrate excellence in parks and recreation through long-range planning,
resource management, volunteerism, environmental stewardship, program development, professional development and agency recognition. Applications are separated into six
classes, with five classes based on population and one class for armed forces. Vernon Hills Park District is a finalist in Class V category, population less than 30,000.
Agencies are judged on their ability to address the needs of those they serve through the collective energies of community members, staff members and elected officials. Vernon Hills
Park District joins three other finalists in their class that will compete for grand honors this year.
Park Board President David Doerhoefer states – “The Vernon Hills Park District is excited and honored to be an NRPA Gold Medal Finalist and we look forward to sharing our story
and successes with park and recreation agencies across the country”.
A panel of five park and recreation professionals will review and judge all application materials. Judges are chosen for their considerable
experience and knowledge in parks and recreation on both the local and national levels.
This year’s finalists will compete for Grand Plaque Award honors this summer, and the six Grand Plaque recipients will be announced during
the 2020 NRPA Conference, which will be held virtually in October. The presentation of both the Finalist and Grand Plaque recipients is being
finalized and details will be forthcoming on the virtual conference website.

Refunds
• A refund, minus a $5 service charge, is granted if the request is received at
least 10 business days before the start of the program. To avoid the service
charge, you may apply the refund toward another Park District program or
accept a credit for future use.
• Refund requests received less than 10 days before the start of a program
or after a program has begun will be granted and pro-rated upon
administrative approval. The $5 service charge will apply.
• No refunds are issued once 50% of the program has been completed.
• Season passes are not refundable.
• If refunds are not applied to an account credit, they will be issued back to
the original form of payment. If payment was cash or check, a refund check
will be mailed in approximately 2-3 weeks, after administrative approval.
Refund Request forms are available at the Sullivan Community Center or at
Lakeview Fitness and on our website.
Class Cancellations
The Park District makes every effort to avoid canceling classes. However,
in order to operate efficiently, programs must have a minimum number of
registered participants 2-5 days before class start date to avoid cancellation.
If a program is canceled, participants are notified prior to the start of the
program and a full refund is issued.

individuals with disabilities. We invite any participant with a special need to contact
our staff or our SRA staff, upon registration, so that a smooth inclusion can occur. If you

Age Qualification
The District establishes appropriate age qualifications for each of its programs.
Only the program supervisor is authorized to make exceptions to these age ranges.
Consideration will only be given once all age-appropriate participants have had an
opportunity to register.
Payment Policy
Households with an unpaid balance will not be allowed to register for any Vernon Hills
Park District programs, activities, memberships, or rentals until the balance is paid in
full. For assistance with an unpaid balance contact the Business Operations Manager at
(847) 996-6803.
Resident/Non-Resident (NR) Fees
Vernon Hills residents significantly contribute to the operating budget of the Park
District by paying property taxes. Everyone who resides within the boundaries of the
Park District are eligible to receive resident discounted rates. Once per year, each
Vernon Hills household is required to show proof of residency in order to qualify for
resident rates. Families living within Hawthorn School District #73 are also eligible
to receive resident discounted rates for programs, Lakeview Fitness memberships,
and Lakeview Fitness daily passes. The only exceptions are facility rentals and daily
admission to the Family Aquatic Center. In addition, District 73 residents must wait until
the non-resident registration dates to register for programs. Non-resident fees are the
second fees shown in program descriptions. These rates are not discounted and are
necessary in order to ensure that non-resident participants contribute to the overall
financing of the park system on an equitable basis with residents.
Senior Citizen Discount
Senior discounts are available for individual passes and membership to our Fitness
Center for residents aged 62 & older. For all other programs and the Family Aquatic
Center, a 20% discount will be applied.
Non-Sufficient Funds (NSF) Policy
A $25 service charge will be assessed on all checks returned due to non-sufficient
funds.
Photo & Video Policy
The District occasionally takes photographs or video of participants for promoting/
advertising our programs, services, events, activities, and facilities in our brochures,
website or agency social media, and other promotional avenues. By registering
for, participating in or attending District programs, events, or other activities, the
participant (or parent/guardian of a minor participant) irrevocably agrees to the use
and distribution by the Park District of his or her image (or of his minor child/ward)
in photographs, video recordings, and any other electronic reproductions of such
programs, events and activities for any purpose without inspection or approval and
without compensation, rights to royalties or any other consideration now and in the
future.
Residents are encouraged to submit photos for the Park District to use in its
informational materials. To submit a photo, email Cassidy Reinhard, Marketing
Specialist, at cassidyr@vhparkdistrict.org.
Vandalism
Each year, vandalism costs the Park District thousands of dollars. Higher costs of
maintenance, repair and clean up of park areas can be avoided only with your help.
Should you see vandalism occurring, please call the Vernon Hills Police at (847) 362-
4449.
Discipline
A positive approach is used regarding discipline. Staff periodically reviews rules with
participants during programs. If inappropriate or unacceptable behavior occurs, prompt
resolution will be sought and the District Behavior Management Policy (2.39) will be
used as a guideline. The Park District reserves the right to remove a participant whose
actions endanger the safety of himself or others.
Notary Public Services
Notary public services are available at the Sullivan Community Center. Please
remember that documents must be signed in the presence of the Notary Public.
