The Lisle Park District formed its Decennial Committee on Local Government Efficiency on May 18, 2023, to study efficiences and report recommendations regarding those efficiences and increase accountability pursuant to an act of the Illinois General Assembly, 50 ILCS 70/1, et seq. This report represents a comprehensive review and compilation of examples of the Park District's ongoing commitment to efficient operations, as identified through and as relevant to the study.

The Lisle Park District Board of Park Commissioners approved the adoption of the Strategic Master Plan created by Next Practice Partners, LLC, in collaboration with Kimley-Horn & PROS Consulting, Inc., on April 20, 2023 at our regular monthly board meeting. You can view an executive summary of the report or the full report in its entirety.

In 2014, the Lisle Park District undertook a Cost Recovery, Resource Allocation and Revenue Enhancement Study. The purpose of this endeavor is to maximize cost recovery while reducing the district's reliance on tax dollars. The process included a review and assessment of services, programs and facilities; categorization of services based upon the level of community versus individual benefit; identification of direct and indirect costs; and an evaluation of current pricing methods. This study furthers the district's intent to continually align district resources based on community values.

The completed study was presented and adopted in April 2015 and will guide the future management of the district's services, serve as the foundation for setting fees and charges, and aid in identifying opportunities for alternative funding sources.
