CITIZENS WISHING TO BE HEARD
Al Hammell was present and asked where the Village stood with the volleyball court project? President Olsen explained that nothing has changed, and that due to the weather things have not dried out yet. Hammell asked if we knew for sure that Mike Eggleston was coming back to finish the project. Shoemaker explained that he had just spoken with Eggleston and explained that he is coming back to finish it this spring.
Rollie Scott was present and asked that the Village change the signs in the park to prohibit swearing. Scott explained that profanity has become a real problem in Purdy Park. Discussion held on enforcement of the bad language.
Discussion held on alcohol in the park, which is prohibited.
Hammell stated that the village cannot issue citations for alcohol violations because there is nothing in the ordinance book that prohibits drinking in the parks. Clerk Waege explained that the Village does have an ordinance; Chapter 100 in the ordinance book prohibits drinking in the park.
UNFINISHED BUSINESS
None.
NEW BUSINESS
Outside Consumption Request of Lori Jester at Stables. Lori Jester was present to explain that the ABATE biker club holds their meetings once a month at The Stables. ABATE is a group that does highway cleanup in the area and meets the 1st Sunday of every month. Meetings usually take two hours and have ten to twenty people attend. Jester explained that the group would rather meet outside if the weather is nice. Peterson wondered if it was opening a can of worms by allowing it. Peterson asked what would happen if they had weather problems, would they want to reschedule to a date not approved for outside consumption. Jester explained that if it rained that they would meet inside as they do now. Fullmer asked if there was a designated area for the meeting. Jester explained that they would have the meetings in the northeast corner of the property. Schmidt was concerned that the drinking could continue throughout the day. Jester explained that the outside consumption request is only for the ABATE meetings. Motion by Fullmer, seconded by Rucker to allow outside consumption from May through November, from 10:30 a.m. to 2:00 p.m. in the northeast area of the parking lot for the ABATE bike club. Motion carried.
