Nine community representatives sit on the Joint Task Force: five from the City of St. Charles, three from the St. Charles Park District, and one from River Corridor Foundation of St. Charles.
Task Force meetings are at the City of St. Charles Municipal Building, 2 E. Main Street. All are encouraged to attend either in person or on Zoom.
