The Recreation Board is part of the village government, and shares resources with other departments in the village.

Example - Steger Public Works Department employees mow the grass in the Steger Parks. 1 mower, 1 tractor, 1 employee



Park Districts are separate taxing districts. Property Taxes would increase!

Duplicate resources would be used and paid for.

Example - With a park district, the following would be needed to mow the grass in the Steger parks: park district mower, park district tractor, park district employee, a park district office, office equipment, fax and phone lines, an administrator and staff.

The Village of Steger shares resources. Getting more done with less.
