Springfield’s Park District could save several thousand dollars with an ordinance on the consent agenda and it could lay the groundwork for even more cooperation with other governments in the future.
Budget director Bill McCarty says that an ordinance allowing an intergovernmental agreement would join Springfield’s Park District with the city of Springfield when purchasing things like supplies and gas.
McCarty says that the park district would save between $6,000 and $8,000.
Aldermen are expected pass the ordinance next week on the consent agenda.
