 Is North Berwyn Park District Administrator Joe Vallez also the administrator of the Justice Park District? Or is that a different Joe Vallez?

Most of gentleman that run the park districts have two jobs.

I think "some of" would be more accurate than "most of"

I didn't realize this was common practice.  Can you please name 3 other Park District directors who are directors of two different park districts at the same time (Tony Martinucci doesn't count).

Thank you.

I didnt say they run two different park districts.  I said they have two jobs.  Why wouldnt Tony Martinucci count?

Thanks.  I didn't realize that being a park district director was a part time position for a lot of park districts.

I dont know if they are part time positions.  I would think they are full time.    Why wouldnt Tony Martinucci count?

I think most people knew that Martinucci held 3 positions so it was an obvious choice.

Does anyone know what we pay Joe, Jeff & Tony?

Same guy.

How do you work two jobs, especially if business is conducted at the same time (9 to 5)

[berwyn senator]

They do it in Chicago!!!!!!

There's absolutely no reason  not  to consolidate all these park/rec districts.

Buzz there is a reason. We have two in Cicero also. I was told years ago they would never merge them because of grant money and funding. Some districts are too big to qualify for certain grants while others are too small for certain grants. Being separate with one quite a bit smaller than the other they get a lot more money for the community than if they were one.

But if we were to add up all the grants would it justify the duplicate positions, employee salaries, health coverage and pension benefits ?

Buzz I think the money they recieve would be higher. If it wasn't districts would have been merged long ago. I also think that is true because the smaller of the two districts seems to always be a whole lot smaller with a lot less employees.

  Well, in addition to being North Berwyn Park District Park District Director and Justice Park District Director, it looks like Joe Vallez took on a third job as the Marengo Park District director last October:

  Vallez is still listed as the Park District Director for both the North Berwyn Park District and the Justice Park District on their respective web sites.

The article says he completed the "five year stint" in Justice.
So.....there is no justice !
