Plainfield Park Board to Hold First Meeting with New Director

New Plainfield Park District Executive Director Carlo Capalbo is expected to attend his first-ever park board meeting, set for 6 p.m. Wednesday at the Heritage Professional Center, 24023 W. Lockport St.

Agenda items include a presentation on the DuPage River Trail Bridge project from Engineering Resource Associates, a discussion on the use of the Heritage Professional Center with owner Carl Bryant and a review of the Plainfield Township Senior Center agreement.

Capalbo started his new job this month after being selected in a 3-0 vote, with two board members abstaining, as the director at the Aug. 13 park board meeting.

Meanwhile, the search is on for two new commissioners after Gov. Pat Quinn signed a bill into law authorizing State Rep. Tom Cross (R-Oswego) and State Sen. Jennifer Bertino-Tarrant (D-Shorewood) each to appoint a new board member. The law will expand the board from five to seven members.
