The Frankfort Square Park District Board of Commissioners met on Wednesday, November 20, 2025, at the Square Links Golf Course Clubhouse.

Staff Resignations: The board acknowledged the resignation of full-time Building & Grounds staff member Alec Flamm, who accepted a position with a neighboring municipality. Marcquenski noted that Flamm recently earned his arborist certifications. Longtime recreation staff member Deb Molitor also recently resigned.

Travel Expenses Tabled: The board tabled action on travel, meal, and lodging expense reimbursements for the upcoming IPRA Conference.
