Champaign Park District Ads

The board of commissioners will be voting on its advertising agreement with the News-Gazette. From the News-Gazette website last night:
The Champaign Park Board is expected to approve agreements with The News-Gazette and its three radio stations to promote park district programs at a meeting at 5:30 p.m. Wednesday at the Bresnan Meeting Center, 706 Kenwood Road.

Park commissioners are set to vote on renewing an agreement with The News-Gazette that the park district says will result in savings on advertising ranging from notices for requests for bids to job offerings to district programs. Additions to the agreement include the district getting access to the paper's email newsletter recipients and the paper matching its spending on digital advertising...

The board will also vote on an independent agreement with NewsTalk 1400 WDWS, Lite Rock 97.5 WHMS and Classic Hits 107.9 WKIO to sponsor specific park district events... Both agreements will be for two years.
The Champaign Park District is separate unit of local government (from an archived directory):
The Champaign Park District was organized in 1911 and established as a separate unit of local government in 1955 by a referendum. The mission of the Champaign Park District is to provide quality parks and recreation to our community.
It is accountable to the residents through elections of the board of commissioners and has public meetings one can attend with concerns. Here's the organizational chart from the same archived directory (click to make larger):
