4 Introduction The Forest Preserve District of Cook County is one of the largest, most utilized Preserves in the nation. It manages more than 68,000 acres of woodlands and water bodies that provide habitat for a variety of plants and animals. Our public lands also provide a wide array of facilities for public education and outdoor recreation. The Forest Preserve District of Cook County and partner organizations invest over ten million dollars each year on capital improvement projects that restore or enhance its landscapes and facilities. The Capital Improvement Plan ( CIP ) is a five year projection of the Forest Preserve District s infrastructure investment needs and priorities. Guiding Principles for this 2012 Update. Preliminary project suggestions have been evaluated against the District s mission to restore, protect and preserve our natural lands and provide opportunities for public education or recreation as well as these Guiding Principles: Public Health, Safety, Access and Convenience. Does the project address pressing needs relating to public health, safety and accessibility, or improve access for people with disabilities, especially for facilities that are open to the public? Comprehensive Planning. Does it assess the condition of our land and facilities in a more comprehensive way and provide a framework for future investment decisions? Engaging New Forest Preserve Users. Does it engage stakeholders in planning for new facilities and experiences to introduce new people to the forest preserves? Environmental Sustainability. Does it ensure that our Forest Preserve lands and facilities will be available to future generations? Financial Sustainability and Partnerships. Will it generate revenue to support the ongoing maintenance and operations? Will it involve partners that contribute funding or other resources to make the project a success? How the Plan was Developed. This Plan includes projects proposed for specific locations as well as proposed district wide improvements. Projects were identified by District staff, partner organizations, stewardship and recreation groups. Public suggestions were also received through our website, open houses and other outreach efforts over the past several months. Projects were then evaluated and prioritized by giving consideration to the Guiding Principles set out above. For example, some projects included in last year s update of the CIP that were scheduled to start in 2012 have now been shifted to start in 2013 pending the results of some comprehensive studies in Some new projects have also been proposed to introduce new people to the forest preserves. Budget Needs for 2012 & Beyond. The estimated total cost of all projects for 2012 is roughly $42 Million and roughly $100 Million for the next 4 years. An estimated $5.7 Million in new capital funding will be needed to proceed with 2012 projects. New funding needed in 2012 remains the same as new funding requested for Only projects with funds shown in the 2012 column on the attached charts are proposed to be funded next year. Funding for 2012 projects will come from four major sources described on the next page.

5 Description of Funding Sources FUND CONSTRUCTION & DEVELOPMENT CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT FUND GRANT FUNDS OTHER DESCRIPTION The Construction and Development fund is established to account for annual tax levies and certain other revenues to be used for construction of major capital facilities. The funds must be expended over a five-year period and any unspent proceeds at the end of the five-year period are transferred to the Corporate Fund. The purpose of this fund is to account for all capital expenditures of the District that are funded by debt or other financing sources and that are not related to land acquisitions. The Forest Preserve District receives funds outside of its tax levy that are to be used in the construction of major capital facilities. These funds are received through grants. The Forest Preserve District receives funds outside of its tax levy that are to be used in the construction of major capital facilities. These funds are received through intergovernmental agreements, settlements from third party environmental violations, fees resulting from the District's tree mitigation Ordinance or other fees earmarked for capital improvements. The funds also include remaining surplus from a 2004 bond issue that was authorized by State Senate Bill 83 (SB83).

8 Project Highlights This 2012 Update to the Forest Preserve District s 5-year Capital Improvement Plan includes some changes from prior year updates. Overall spending for 2012 would be higher than 2011 due to the late start in 2011 due to new leadership and decisions to defer some investments. Investment in restoration of natural lands would remain as one of the largest areas of investment. New planning studies and needs assessments would better inform future decisions on whether to invest in major renovations of District facilities such as campgrounds, recreational improvements and support structures. The Planning & Development Department is requesting a substantial boost in its general consulting services budget in 2012 to conduct some necessary baseline assessments and master plans. In the development of the 2012 Update, the District has made a more concerted effort to solicit public input. Specifically the District has initiated a web based comment portal and a series of six expanded community outreach events. Comments received from these efforts were reviewed and when appropriate were included in the 2012 Update. This 2012 Update also begins to convey some of the strategic thinking behind the District s recommendations. The highlights below explain why there is a change in level of investment in certain categories of projects and a preview of preliminary plans for the next 5 years. Planning & Assessment Projects (General Consulting Services) Some major planning and assessment projects are proposed in 2012 that will provide a solid information base for future investment decisions. Larger consulting projects for which funds have been requested in 2012 include: Camp improvement - design work for an initial phase of improvements resulting from current master planning effort. A new Recreation Master Plan that will review needs for some existing recreation facilities and explore potential new recreation improvements that are consistent with the District s mission. Some suggestions for new recreation projects, such as a possible new zip line at Swallow Cliff, have been included in the 5-year plan but deferred until 2013 until the Recreation Master Plan is completed. Engineering Services civil engineering services for inspection of dam & water control structures, including study of Sauk Lake; and structural engineering services to inspect & design improvements to buildings;

9 Project Highlights Building Needs Assessment to assess all District support buildings. Many requests for improvements to these buildings that were included in the CIP have been put on hold pending the outcome of this study. Trails Planning and construction of bike and equestrian trails continues to be one of the largest capital investment areas for the Forest Preserve District. New funding needed in 2012 ($140,734) is significantly lower than in 2011 ($2,008,979), however, because the District has been setting aside funds from previous budgets for large federally-assisted trail projects. These federal grants typically provide funding for 80% of the project costs for bicycle trails. Combining the previously budgeted funds with the 2012 funds and grant funds, there is nearly $11 million dollars available for trail construction and rebuilding. The Bicycle Trail map included in this Plan [Figure 1] shows the existing Forest Preserve District trail system, projects under construction and proposed trails. The proposed trails are intended to reflect the major regional trail systems and major links to those trails. The District s policy has been to develop the major regional trails and encourage connections to those trails by the local municipalities. Proposed 2012 major trail projects include engineering of the Calumet-Sag Trail, North Branch Bicycle Trail- Southern Extension (to City of Chicago), North Branch Bicycle Trail-Lake Cook Road Extension (to the Greenbay Trail) and the Thorn Creek Bicycle Trail Extension, and re-routing the multi-use trail at Forty Acre Woods. In addition, 2012 will also include investigation and follow-up on a number of trail repair and safety improvement projects that were identified in public comments that have been received in the past few months. Proposed major trail projects for 2013 to 2016 include the Thorn Creek Bicycle Trail, the Calumet- Sag Trail, the North Branch Bicycle Trail Projects, the Orland Grassland Bicycle Trail, the Poplar Creek Trail Connection, Tinley Creek Bicycle Trail extension, and the McGinnis Slough connector Trail.

11 Project Highlights Habitat and Landscape Restoration Habitat Restoration is the second biggest category of capital investment for the District after trails, with more than $5.7 million in improvements planned for a range of restoration projects that enhance the value or extend the useful life of the District's landscapes and natural resources. Approximately $2.1 Million per year is needed for the next 5 years for enhancement of ecologicallyimportant habitat. Another $1 million per year would be used to restore lower-quality land, including retired farm fields. Another $1,000,000 per year is needed for shoreline vegetation removal and wetland restoration District-wide. Silviculture practice projects would be folded into the Restoration Landscape account and funded primarily with fees collected through the District's Tree Mitigation Ordinance. Finally, control of wildlife that causes damage to the herbaceous plant community and other important habitat would continue to be a priority for the next three years through an agreement with USDA. In addition, to capital investment of the Forest Preserve District's funds and resources, other agencies and partners are currently investing their own staff and funding to restore District lands. The following agencies and/or organizations are providing agency funding or grant funding for various restoration projects on District lands in 2012; U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, OpenLands, Friends of the Forest Preserves and the Illinois Toll Highway Authority. The total amount of funding from various projects add up to approximately $20,000,000 and covers approximately 6,500 acres of District lands. These projects are in various stages of completion, but will all be in progress over the next 2 to 5 years. Building Improvement Projects Major new buildings originally funded in 2011 will be completed in 2012, including a new boathouse at Busse Lake, substantial renovations of the historic pavilions at Thatcher Woods and Dan Ryan Woods as well as the comfort station at Eggers Grove. Major funding requests for buildings in 2012 include major rehab of the Poplar Creek Wildlife Headquarters ($2,000,000) and a pilot program to test out a new comfort station prototype ($1,000,000). Most other building projects in last year s update CIP that were slated to start in 2012

12 Project Highlights have been pushed back to 2013, however, pending the results of the Campground Master Plan and Building Needs Assessment described earlier. Camps Camp programs and facilities in the Forest Preserves are an area where major capital investment is anticipated over the next 5 years. A new system of camping facilities is viewed as one of the most promising strategies for introducing a broad range of new people to the forest preserves. In 2012, the District expects to complete a master plan including concept drawings for all of its camping activities. Design drawings for an initial phase of improvements will also begin in By 2013, plans for a major new legacy project such as a flagship campground and conference center should be fully developed in time for implementation in the District s 2014 Centennial year. Picnic Shelters Picnic Shelters are one of the most heavily used seasonal facilities in the forest preserves. Continued investment in building new shelters in strategic locations is planned for 2012 and beyond. In addition to investment in the shelters themselves, the District is planning to implement a pilot program using environmentally-sustainable materials to construct walkways to improve access to the shelters.

13 Project Highlights Parking Lots Most residents drive to forest preserves to use a picnic grove, visit a nature center, fly a model airplane or ride on a trail. Maintaining the District s extensive system of parking lots is important in serving the public. Building new parking lots to provide access to newly-acquired lands is also especially costly and potentially damaging to the environment. The District typically invests $1-2 million per year on repaving a dozen or so existing parking lots and building 1 or 2 new ones. In 2011, District engineering staff have assessed and rated hundreds of existing parking lots and rated them using the Pavement Surface Evaluation and Rating (PASER) scale developed by the Transportation Information Center at the University of Wisconsin-Madison Campus. Using this rating system, a rating of 10 represents a brand new lot and 1 represents a pavement that has failed and should be considered for reconstruction. The most severely deteriorated lots with a rating of 3 or less have been given priority for repaving in Moderately deteriorated lots with a rating of 4 to 5 have been slated for work in [Figure 2] District planning and engineering staff also plan to continue to refine existing policies and best practices for construction, repaving and maintenance of paved its parking lots and paved surfaces. Related engineering initiatives in 2012 will include revisiting of the District s stormwater management policy.
