It was brought to the ballot by citizen Kevin Peppard and then approved by other registered voters. When initiatives are brought to the ballot in the fashion, they are non-binding, despite the use of the word binding in the clause. <\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s2\">Regardless of how Oak Parkers decided to vote on this, many referenced the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.chicagotribune.com\/suburbs\/oak-park\/ct-oak-park-pool-referendum-results-tl-1208-20161201-story.html?int=lat_digitaladshouse_bx-modal_acquisition-subscriber_ngux_display-ad-interstitial_bx-bonus-story_______\"><span class=\"s4\">2016 referendum<\/span><\/a> to build an Olympic size pool at OPRF High School (D200), which turned into a highly divisive controversy and ultimately failed. One of these voters declined to share how she is voting on the current referendum due to the divisiveness surrounding the pool. The voter, who declined to give her name mentioned that neighbors were still angry knowing how she voted on the pool.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s2\">College student Graham Weiglos, 20, voted no on this year\u2019s referendum because it also reminded him of the<a href=\"https:\/\/www.oakpark.com\/News\/Articles\/11-8-2016\/OPRF-pool-referendum-fails\/\"><span class=\"s4\"> District 200 pool referendum<\/span><\/a>. \u201cThe intricacies of the democratic process got in the way of a well-formulated and much-needed improvement to OPRF. I think if the village had to undergo that process every time it wanted to improve the community, nothing would ever get done,\u201d said Weiglos, who was a student at OPRF during the controversy over the pool. \u201cWhile our board members may not always make the right decisions, we elected them for a reason and we need to let them do their work.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p4\">Retired Oak Parker Tom MacMillan, 61, thinks the referendum is important for the people of Oak Park to have a say in the village\u2019s spending because despite the 2016 pool referendum failing, there are still efforts in Oak Park to build the pool. \u201cDistrict 200 is ignoring a referendum vote entirely with their project to build the pool. It is like the people in charge could care less about the actual citizens,\u201d said MacMillan.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p4\">Although some who referenced the pool voted yes and some voted no on the current referendum, it\u2019s clear that Oak Parkers are still troubled by the 2016 pool referendum and view it as a failure.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p4\">Voters who did not mention the District 200 pool referendum also seemed to be split between a yes or no vote on the current referendum. Wendy Owen, 52, a local mom, said, \u201cI voted yes in an effort to provide accountability over elected officials and voter consensus over major capital projects.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s2\">Robert Francis, 51, a local<\/span> businessman, voted no. \u201cWe elect representatives to make the call. That why this is a republic,\u201d Francis said. \u201cIf we don\u2019t like their calls we elect other representatives.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><i>Helen Quinn Pasin is an investigative reporter focused on social justice at Medill.
