The Chicago Park District Board of Commissioners met Feb. 10, too late for inclusion in this week’s Chicago Journal. Several items with local import were expected to be discussed at the meeting. Among them:

The district’s purchasing department was set to give an “informational presentation” on the extension of the permit and operating agreement of what’s called the Charter One Pavilion on Northerly Island;

On the Near West Side, $3 million in improvements are planned for Livingston Field, at 2139-2159 W. Lexington. The additions include rehab of the park’s baseball field, a new football and soccer field, environmental remediation, fencing and lighting. A street will also be closed, according to the park district board letter about the project. Readers will recall that Livingston Field was the site of a multiyear drama. Chicago Hope Academy founder Bob Muzikowski fought hard against the Illinois Medical District’s plans for a new facility there. The medical district eventually traded the field for other land owned by the city.

The park district and city are striking an intergovernmental agreement about maintenance in Ping Tom Park in Chinatown, which the park district is slowly expanding north of the 18th Street bridge. The city’s department of transportation recently installed a pedestrian path and lighting beneath the bridge to north Ping Tom. This new agreement simply states that the park district will maintain the underpass.
