The Board of Commissioners for the Forest Preserve District of Cook County approved two intergovernmental agreements Tuesday related to trail improvements and vacant site restoration and referred to committee several measures to increase fines and impose restitution costs for littering, pollution and illegal dumping. 

The board’s meetings were held at the Sagawau Environmental Learning Center in Lemont instead of the usual meeting place on the fifth floor of the county building in downtown Chicago.
