representative for the Methodist Church asked what would
be required by the Board for the creation of a parking
lot for the church. They are considering a parking lot
between the church and the rectory or behind the north
church. The village attorney, Kevin Sybert said they
must meet with the village building inspector to acquire
a certificate of compliance.
The
Little League would like to construct a swinging gate
at both ends of the park to stop traffic through the

decided that the Little League should get with the park
board to decide what kind of gate it is to be and bring
the specs back before the board. There was also discussion
about filling in the ditch between the ball diamond
and Lenjo’s. No resolution was reached at last
night’s meeting.
