Colleen Root walks her dog Penny in Centennial Park on Oct. 24, 2022, in Winnetka. She’s a Winnetka Park District board member who criticizes the proposed land swap.A surprise motion to censure Winnetka Park District Commissioner Colleen Root passed Thursday night despite residents praising her work representing them amid the Elder/Centennial beach project controversy.
Under the violation claiming Root doesn’t adequately represent all those served by the Park District, the resolution points to the fact that she lives within 1,500 feet of the beach project. Commissioner James Hemmings explained the most recent incident came when Root sent an email on April 16 from her official account to Winnetka Village Trustee Kirk Albinson referencing an earlier conversation had with Village Trustee Rob Apatoff on her opposition to the permit application for Centennial that is currently working its way through village committees.
“As a Park Commissioner, my foremost duty is to our residents and not, most respectfully, to you fellow commissioners,” Root said in a statement prepared under her assumption the censure was directed at her due to her continued dissent on the project. Land has not been swapped despite the contract being signed in October 2020 and both parties have deemed it as dormant.
