have any questions or comments regarding this concept, please feel free to contact
us at 441-4500.
Volunteers Needed
The Matteson Recreational Services Department utilizes volunteers for a variety of
programs. Our youth baseball and basketball leagues have long benefited from
those willing to volunteer their time as coaches. Volunteers not only help keep the
cost of programs down, but through community involvement, help the public
understand the workings of the Matteson Recreational Services Department.
Anyone wishing to volunteer their services for any program should contact the
Recreation business office at 441-4500 or stop by the Matteson Community Center
at 20642 Matteson Avenue.

Our Matteson Recreational Services Staff has made every effort to prepare this
brochure as accurately as possible; however, errors can occur. Circumstances may
require that adjustment be made to programs, fees, schedules, etc. The Matteson
Recreational Services Department reserves the right to make any such
adjustments. The Department apologizes for any inconvenience these errors or
adjustments may cause.
Closing Policy
This policy covers the closing of the Oakwood Recreation Center due to either
extreme cold or lack of electricity. We have a different policy from the schools.
The Oakwood Recreation Center will be closed:

at 60 degrees or lower inside the center). Classes may be moved to a different
room if the cold is isolated to just one room.
2. If the electricity is not working and the class or activity is held during the
evening.
If you are not sure whether the Oakwood Recreation Center is open, you may call
us at 441-4500 or the Village Hall at 283-4900.

parks and facilities.
We Love Our Parents But...
With your child’s best interest in mind, parents are invited to their child’s last class
meeting. Our instructors have found that their quality of instruction had often
been affected by parent and/or sibling distractions, interruptions and various
other concerns during class time. We also feel it is most beneficial for children to
have recreational time with their peers. Our instructors always welcome the
opportunity to discuss a participant’s progress with parents at any time. Thank
you for your cooperation.

as future techniques to be learned in the youth classes. Levels from
the previous course transfers over as each child continues to develop
at their own pace. The class will include minimal participation of the
guardian as needed but will eventually limited to none as this is a
stepping stone built so children can become more independent

Aqua Fit is a true full-body workout
It’s not just your heart and muscles that stand to benefit from an
Aqua Fit class. Working out in water is also fantastic for your internal
organs and lymphatic system. Hydrostatic pressure, turbulence and
buoyancy assist in venous return [the flow of blood back to the heart]
and lymphatic drainage. These extra benefits help explain why
participants feel so good after a class – the body is refreshed rather
than exhausted.

Youth Swim ‘Play Time Package’
You have the opportunity to bring your child (CELTS Swim School
Youth participant) to the pool for some fun and practice time. This
allows the children to swim around and experience the water for
themselves. Playing in the water will help grow confidence and more
understanding of buoyancy and balance in the water. Children don’t
realize they are doing it, but they are practicing swimming techniques
on their own such as breathing, buoyancy, and balance. Not only can
your child meet other children from other classes, but even make new
friends. Children playing together will tend to hold small swimming
competitions, or ‘look what I can do’ presentations which is practice
without realizing it. Give your kids a weekend of fun and join them in
the pool to experience the many benefits of water and learning.
Experience an adventure, have a night of fun, be adventurous, be
inventive, whatever it is you are looking to experience, it could be
available to you. Check out our pre-designed, ‘Bubblemaker’ Party, or
work with us and create an event of your own. Whether you are
looking for a new party idea, an end of the season party for your
sports team, we can help you with your get-together.

April Food Day A Major
Success for the Southland
The Village of Matteson is pleased to have partnered with
United Way and over 60 other municipalities, businesses and
organizations throughout the Chicago Southland to contribute to
this year’s April Food Day.
The Matteson Village Hall and Matteson Community Center
chipped in by participating as drop-off sites for several weeks leading
up to collection day. On April 1, 2016, all collected food was taken
to the Tinley Park Convention Center, where it was packed and
distributed to food pantries and shelters throughout the southland,
including our local Rich Township Food Pantry.
Over 90,000lbs of food was collected, tripling the set
goal for this year of 30,000 pounds.
Officer Ray Murray
Awarded Officer of the Year
The Matteson Police Department recently held their 9th Annual
Award’s Ceremony and Luncheon at the Holiday Inn where
numerous officers were recognized for going “above and beyond”
the call of duty, to keep the community safe and sound. Officer
Ray Murray was recognized as the 2015 Officer of the Year.
Congratulations to Officer Murray!

Public Works Updates
THE POINT AT GLENEAGLE TRAIL RESTORATION PROJECT
A restoration project is currently taking place within the Point at
Gleneagle Trail subdivision. A contractor has been out grinding
and resurfacing the streets, performing manhole adjustments and
establishing new sidewalks. This work is being done utilizing a
letter of credit from the developer.
CENTRAL AVENUE IMPROVEMENTS
Roadway improvement work has resumed on Central Avenue
between Lincoln Highway and Vollmer Road as part of a $1 million
surfacing program. The federally funded project is governed by the
State and began last October. Milling and resurfacing of the road is
currently taking place.
Arbor Day 2016
The Village celebrated its 24th year of Tree City status
during this year’s Arbor Day celebration on April 29,
2016. Arbor Day is an international holiday that is
often celebrated by the planting of a tree. This year,
the Public Works Department along with Village
Administrator Brian Mitchell, members of the Police
Department, Fire Department, and other Village
staff planted a tree with the students at St. Paul
Lutheran School. The students enjoyed being part of a
celebration and learned more about the importance of
trees to our environment.
Stormwater Fees
WHAT IS A STORMWATER FEE?
Like gas, electricity, water and sewage, stormwater runoff can
be managed as a utility on the concept that every property in a
watershed contributes stormwater
runoff and should support the
operation, maintenance, and
rehabilitation of stormwater
drainage systems in the Village.
HOW IS THE FEE USED?
The Stormwater Utility Fee is used
to maintain, improve, expand
and when necessary, replace the
Village stormwater and storm drainage infrastructure. The result is
reduced flooding and improved stream quality; making Matteson
more attractive, safe and environmentally sustainable. These
activities protect storm drain pipes from collapse and stormwater
management facilities from dam failures.
46
Where Does Matteson’s Water
Come From?
The Village of Matteson receives water pumped from Lake
Michigan; it is treated and filtered by the City of Chicago, then
pumped to the Village of Oak Lawn. Oak Lawn treats the water
with chlorine gas, and then pumps it to the Village of Matteson’s
three ground storage tanks.
Two of these tanks hold 1.5 million gallons each and the other
stores 3 million gallons. Our two water towers each hold 0.5 million
gallons for a total storage capacity in Matteson of 7 million gallons.
The Village also treats the water with chlorine before it leaves the
station. On average, the Village pumps 1.6 million gallons per day
to the community.
Governed by the Illinois Environmental Protection Agency
(EPA), the Village is required to take 30 water samples every month
and have them tested for bacteria. The results of these tests are
sent to the EPA office. We anticipate making these sample reports
available for public viewing on the Village website very soon.

Someone You Should Know:
Village Clerk Dorothy Grisco
Dorothy Grisco began her public service to the Village of Matteson
in 2001 as Village Clerk. She is now fulfilling her fourth term and
has served the Village proudly for over 15 years.
Grisco is a 16 year resident of Matteson’s Maple Brook
subdivision, but was born and raised in a
small Pennsylvania town called Puritan. She
also lived in Chicago for a number of years
where she attended Richard J. Daley College
before gaining secretarial, real estate and
medical transcriptionist experience. Grisco
worked in real estate for over 20 years and
retired from Holy Cross Hospital in 1999.
After moving to Matteson, her husband
passed away and she had to get back to
work. A friend, who was running for Trustee,
mentioned to her that the Village Clerk
position was up for election. At first, she was
hesitant to consider it since she had only lived
in the Village a short time, did not know many
residents, and was not familiar with municipal
government. Nevertheless, she decided to run. When the time came
for the petitions to be filed, no one else came forth and therefore,
she started her new career as an elected official. Since her first day on the job, she explains that her time as
Clerk has been fulfilling.
“I’ve learned so much about municipal government,” she
said. “I’ve enjoyed working with all of the Village employees and
meeting diverse people of different backgrounds, careers, and
walks of life.”
Outside if her work, Grisco enjoys
dancing, walking, gardening and crafts. She
has three daughters and one grandson.
“Dancing is my favorite,” she said.
Grisco is also an active volunteer who has
campaigned for Senator Michael Hastings,
Representative Al Riley, Congresswoman
Robin Kelly and other state legislators. She
is involved with the Maple Brook HOA, the
South/Southwest Suburban Clerk’s Association
and has hosted local Diversity Dinners five
times. She takes pride in having learned a
great deal about diversity, and meeting such
impactful people during her time as Clerk.
She remembers a time meeting Barack
Obama when he was an Illinois Senator, and
saying to him, “you’re going to be president someday.” Experiences
like these, she says, are what have made the job rewarding.
“It’s unbelievable to have met all these people,” she said. “A
shy little girl from Puritan, Pennsylvania. “I never expected to be
where I am.”
Matteson Community Center Director Anthony Burton
Wins National Award
Matteson Recreational Services Director
Anthony Burton was recently honored by
SportsEvents Media Group, the leading industry
publication focused exclusively on helping
sports event planners produce excellent
competitions in the United States. Burton has
been recognized as one of its 2016 Parks and
Recreation Professionals Readers’ Choice Award
winners.
Jim Garrett, President/CEO for the Chicago
Southland Convention & Visitors Bureau,
presented Burton with his award at the March 7,
2016 Board of Trustees Meeting.
“It’s great having Anthony’s hard work
and dedication for the Village of Matteson
recognized by SportsEvents Magazine,” said
Garrett. “His enthusiasm to bring in sports
events to the area not only helps make a
positive economic impact on the region but
his passion to help the youth of the Chicago
Southland is unbridled and sets him above
the rest.”
Congratulations to Anthony and we thank him for his continued efforts in our community.

Department Support Special
Olympics Illinois
The Matteson Police Department is pleased to
announce our partnership with the Illinois Special
Olympics. Every year the Matteson Police Department
coordinates several fundraising events to help raise
money for this most worthy cause.
The major summer event is the annual
Nationwide Law Enforcement Torch Run. This event
is the single largest fundraising event benefitting
the Special Olympics. The Torch Run has two goals:
to raise money for nearly 20,000 Illinois athletes
to compete in 175 year round competitions in 19
different sports and to reward the accomplishments
of the participants; which enhance their physical
fitness, motor skills, self-confidence, friendship and
family support.
The Matteson Police Department is hoping to
raise $15,000 this year, and there are a few ways you
can help us reach our goal. (see Cop on a Rooftop and
Torch Run events below)
MFD Partners with PFFD to Provide
Experience for District 227 Students
The Matteson Fire Department recently partnered with
the Park Forest Fire Department and Rich Township
School District 227 to provide an interactive learning
experience for 90 district students.
Students from Rich Central, Rich East and Rich
South were bused over to
Freedom Hall and the Park
Forest Fire Training Site to
gain a basic understanding
of fire behavior, and learn
about the role of a fire
investigator. Students spent
the day being lectured at
Freedom Hall, followed by
witnessing three live burns
at the training site.
LT Michael Bacon,
who has been with the
Matteson Fire Department
for a total of 25 years and is
also an arson investigator
with Division 27 and the Will-Cook-Grundy Task
Force, played an instrumental role in putting this
experience together.
“I was contacted by a teacher from Rich South
who teaches their forensics class,” he said. “I later
found out that Rich Central contacted the Park Forest
Cop on a Rooftop
On May 20, 2016, Matteson Police Officers will
stakeout the rooftop of the Matteson Dunkin Donuts

donations for the Law Enforcement Torch Run to
benefit Special Olympics Illinois.
Each guest who visits between 5:00 am and 2:00
pm and makes a donation to the Torch Run will
receive a FREE donut. Other items, such as Torch Run
T-Shirts and hats, will be available for purchase.

Fire Department and had the same request. We have
an excellent working relationship with Park Forest so
we decided to do it together.”
The live burns proved to be very engaging for
the students as three mock rooms went up in flames
before being extinguished
by a fireman. Students were
then given the opportunity
to walk through and inspect
fire damages while asking
questions.
“I am happy to see
classes like this are now
offered in high school,” LT
Bacon said. “This was our
first time doing this, and
we already have the request
from the district to make
this a yearly event.”
LT Bacon and the
Matteson Fire Department
would like to thank Matteson Home Depot for
the generous donation of drywall and other materials
to make the burn happen, and would also like to
recognize Captain Myers from Park Forest
and Lieutenant Weir from Chicago Heights.
Torch Run
Sponsor one of our officers as they run in the Torch
Run on Wednesday, June 10, 2016 by making a
monetary donation (make a donation of $25.00 or
more and receive a Torch Run T-shirt).
Please consider coming out and supporting these
worthy causes and helping us get the word out.
If you have any questions or need additional
information please contact Detective Robert
Christensen, Torch Run Coordinator at 708-503-3130.
