Citizen Comments

Mike Long noted that he has no parking in front of his house because of the posted signs. It’s only on 5th Ave. It’s been like that a long time. This will go to General Services who should look at minutes for history. Ryan Davenport is present from the high school. He’s part of the Geneva Lake West internship program. Grace Churchill is here to address board about Devils Lane ballpark. She’s written letters since 2013 about this issue. The diamond has evolved into a regulation baseball diamond even though there is insufficient room at this site. She’s had windows broken and people nearly hit in her yard and her neighbor’s yard. About 68 balls landed in her yard last week. A lot of residents near her have foul balls land in their yards. She’s been told the diamond has been there since the park was created, but that’s not true. She’s asking the Board to move the baseball diamond to high school property and that now is the time to act on her request. A regulation baseball diamond does not belong in a residential neighborhood. Snyder knows the high school has been talking about a referendum for a baseball field and a soccer field. This should be referred to Public Works. Connelly will also talk to the High School Administrator. Ball & Glove uses the field more than the HS—about 4 times more. Churchill will leave copies of the history with the clerk to copy for the Board. Kelly Freeman would like to speak about access to this building by those who are handicapped. She thinks there should be doors that open easier. She finds it embarrassing and also finds the notice at the bottom of the agenda the same. Refer to Finance to make Village Hall ADA compliant.
