HAPPENINGS &
RECREATION BROCHURE
City of Palos Hills ● Community Resource & Recreation Department ● SUMMER 2019
Dear Residents,
The City of Palos Hills begins its spring/summer season with a very busy agenda. We are
pleased to announce that the Building Department had a very extra ordinary year in as much as
we took in $450,000 in building permits. The most significant part of the permit fees involved
commercial and business development, including the relocation of Carousel Checks on
Southwest Highway, Midwest Orthopaedics on Roberts Road, the indoor Car Wash on Harlem
Avenue along with multiple commercial rehab permits. Last year also saw 26 permits for new
homes and multiple permits for home rehab improvements. We believe this upcoming year will
bring about new development including a Thornton’s Gas Station at 111th & Roberts Road and
more single family home permits.
The City will be under-going two long awaited Capital projects to include a new Public Works
Garage and facility located off Roberts Road and 108th Street with construction to begin within
MAYOR
a month. Also located on the same 30 acre site, a Pleasure Lake Nature area to include a
Jerry Bennett $250,000 improvement to the park area. The City was recently awarded a $126,000 grant from
the Illinois Department of Natural Resources. Both of these projects have been on the planning
CITY CLERK table for the last 15 years and we are very excited to get them under construction with a
Rudy Mulderink completion date of this Fall. This project when completed will facilitate a large public parking
area off 108th and Roberts Road to access into Pleasure Lake.

In addition, the City of Palos Hills also announces that finally after many years, the Cook
Kenneth J. Nolan
County Highway Department will finally be rehabbing and resurfacing Roberts Road. It has
been very frustrating on our part along with our residents that this road has taken so long to be
ALDERMEN redone. In the meantime we are asking the Cook County Highway Department to do the
1ST WARD necessary temporary repairs in sections of the road this spring. The good news is that along
Marty Kleefisch with resurfacing Roberts Road a complete transformation of the intersection of 111th & Roberts
Mike Price Road will be part of this project. It was the City of Palos Hills that secured both State and
2ND WARD Federal funds to assist the County in their project of making this now possible. Thank you for
your patience.
Pauline A. Stratton
Mark Brachman The City of Palos Hills and its Police Department are proud to announce that we rank as one of
3RD WARD the 10th lowest crime areas in the State of Illinois. The men and women of the Police
A.J. Pasek Department are dedicated professionals who will continue to serve and protect our citizens.
Michael Lebarre Finally, I would like to invite our residents to take part in the many upcoming Park and
4TH WARD community functions, events and our annual Friendship Festival taking place July 11-14. As
Ricky Moore always the City is committed and dedicated to serving the residents. We are always here to
Joseph Marrotta answer your calls for service. I thank you for this opportunity in allowing me to serve as your
Mayor. Enjoy the changing of the seasons and have a safe summer.

Palos Hills Receives Grant to Add Recreation Amenities to
Pleasure Lake Nature Park
This past winter, the City of Palos Hills received a $126,000 grant from the Illinois
Department of Revenue through their Open Space and Land Acquisition (OSLAD)
program to add recreation amenities to the south end of Pleasure Lake. This past
year the City’s Public Works Department has been busy improving that end of the
Lake property. They installed a beautiful waterfall feature that is not only aesthetically
pleasing, but also improves aeration of the pond. They have also installed an
accessible asphalt path that will connect the park to the future Public Works Facility.
They cleared invasive plants and trees from the area, making it easier for residents to
access the project area from the nearby neighborhood. Lastly they built a walking
bridge over the new waterfall that will help connect the walking trail around the Lake.
Money from the OSLAD grant will cover the costs of additional amenities at Pleasure
Lake. These include a small, stone amphitheater for small gatherings; a wood and
stone pavilion; individual play pods and fitness stations; more benches and tables
and more signage. We will also be installing signs around the lake, providing
information about pollinators found in the area. The City anticipates beginning
construction towards the beginning of the summer.

PALOS HILLS POLICE DEPARTMENT
From the Desk of Paul J Madigan, Chief of Police
Chief Madigan wishes to commend all of the members of the Palos Hills Police Department for making Palos
Hills one of the top safest cities to live in Illinois. This is no accident—it is because of hard working and
dedicated police officers working with our residents to keep our city safe.
SAFETY: Anytime a citizen needs an Officer to respond to a home please remember to call 911. Clerks
working at the Police Department do not dispatch Officers, and must then call the dispatch center. This
delays time and they also may not have the information required by the dispatch center so please call 911.
Children will soon be out of school for the summer months, and they will be on foot or on bicycles. Patrols
will increase on side streets, so remember to keep your speeds down on the side streets (20 mph) and obey
the stop signs.
Use your seat belt and remember, it is against the law to use a cell phone or other handheld electronic
device while driving. PLEASE DRIVE CAREFULLY!
PHONE SCAMS: Please be wary of those attempting to scam the public out of money especially the
elderly. Subjects have been calling and requesting money for family members that have been in an accident
or have been arrested and need legal assistance. It is uncertain how they obtain your family information but
please do not send money. Contact your family to make certain that they are well and call police to report
the incident. Please contact us if you have any questions about people who call or arrive at your home
requesting money or access to your residence.
HOUSE WATCHES: Always make sure you call for a house watch when your leave for vacations. Please call
the Palos Hills Police non-emergency (708-598-2992) Monday-Friday between the hours of
9:00 am—5:00 pm. Be certain to lock your doors and set alarms when available.
REMINDER: Do not leave valuables visible inside your car and always remember to lock your car doors.
Don’t forget to close and lock your garage doors as well. Don’t be an easy victim!
NON-EMERGENCY INFORMATION: If you are in need of assistance during the hours where City Hall and the
Police Department front desk are closed, please contact the dispatch center for non-emergency assistance.
CALL 708-598-2151.
In the case of an emergency, ALWAYS DIAL 9-1-1.
WEATHER UPDATES: Be prepared for changes in weather this upcoming season. Sign up for weather alerts
to keep you informed of all weather emergencies with Code Red at the website,

With less than a month until the much-anticipated official launch of the veterans online shopping benefit,
more than 225,000 honorably discharged veterans have already been verified to shop at online military

Shopping the military exchanges online provides veterans an opportunity to reconnect with their military
community, allowing these soldiers, airmen, sailors, Marines and Coast Guard “members for life” to save
money with tax-free shopping and military exclusive pricing while also supporting critical military quality-of-
life programs.
“After four years of coordination with the Departments of Defense, Army, and Air Force as well as several
other federal agencies, the finish line is in sight,” said Tom Shull, AAFES director and chief executive officer.
“We are excited to welcome these veterans back home to their military family and ensure all who raised
their right hands and served our nation with honor receive this tangible benefit as a measure of thanks for
their service and sacrifice.”
Exchange Sales Benefits Programs
Exchange sales from this newly authorized customer base are expected to be approximately $200 million
annually, with $10 million in dividends annually for quality-of-life programs such as Army Child
Developmental Centers, youth programs and fitness centers, Air Force Outdoor Recreation, affordable
school lunches for overseas students, below cost combat uniform sales and more. All honorably discharged
veterans can go to ShopMyExchange.com today to verify their eligibility to shop their military exchanges.
