Item 3B. Special Matters: Resolution of Appreciation to Jonathan Vlaming
Superintendent's Recommendation:
MOTION TO ADOPT RESOLUTION NO. 25-24; A RESOLUTION OF APPRECIATION TO JONATHAN VLAMING UPON HIS RETIREMENT FROM THREE RIVERS PARK DISTRICT.
Background:
Jonathan Vlaming began his career with the Park District on April 11, 2005, when he was hired as the Planning Manager. Over his 20-year career, Jonathan has been involved in acquiring property, developing trails, and delivering numerous projects. Even through the most challenging projects Jonathan displayed his playful spirit and great sense of humor.
In that period of time, perhaps his most significant contribution has been the development and implementation of our 5-year Capital Improvement Program (CIP). Juggling hundreds of projects and managing millions of dollars in the CIP is not an easy task, but Jonathan makes it look easy. He presents it in a way that is transparent and simple to understand.
It is difficult to know how many millions of dollars Jonathan has secured for the District, but it would not be a stretch to put it in the hundreds of millions. His success is due to the great relationships he has built both inside the District and with outside partners. Jonathan has been a wonderful employee, supervisor, friend and colleague to us all.
Jonathan will be retiring from the Park District at the end of 2025. We wish him and his family all the best in his retirement.
The attached Resolution of Appreciation is presented for Board consideration, recognizing Jonathan’s service to the Park District.
