The Board of Commissioners for the Forest Preserve District of Cook County will gather at the Crabtree Nature Center in Barrington Tuesday and hold a slew of committee meetings followed by their regular board meeting.

During the regular board meeting, commissioners are expected to introduce an ordinance that amends the district’s existing ban on using public funds to buy single-use water bottles in most cases. The regular board meeting will begin no earlier than 10 a.m. and after committee meetings have concluded. The committee meetings will begin at 9:30 a.m. and continue in succession.
