3. Petitions From The Public
Mary Dewald-
Requesting upgrades to her part of town regarding parks and recreation. Herself and her neighbors attended several board meetings expressing our displeasure for a proposed warehouse across the street from our homes. Thankfully this proposal did not pass. She thanked all of the Board for not passing that. The possibility for a park in that area was discussed at the time. We were hoping that the Village would do this in the 2018 budget. She asked the Board to consider this in the 2019 budget. There are 29 parks in the Village with the majority on the south end. Meadowalk Park is the closest park to us. We would love to have a recreational area near us to enjoy.
Janet Gardner-
The bike path in the industrial park on the north end of town is in poor condition. This is a safety concern. This has been neglected for a while. There is a lot of glass and debris on the path. The trees and shrubbery are also overgrown. Also, she thanked the Board for giving their attention to the truck issue however, they are still driving down the road. They are coming in from the other end opposite of the new island that was installed. This needs to be monitored a little closer, possibly raise the fines.
Patty Zack-
She is a resident for 23 years. Under the leadership of Mayor Noak we have seen the Village grow and prosper. We all make mistakes. She is confident that Mayor Noak will learn from his mistake.
Mayor Noak stated that we are working on the maintenance of the trails and we are working on park space in this area as well. We are also working to address the truck issue.
