Board authorizes Wickers Creek Market schedule, shuttle and narrow fee waivers; deputy mayor recuses
Summary
Trustees authorized an agreement with Wickers Creek Market to schedule 2026 waterfront events, waive park rental and peddler permit fees on listed dates, and authorize the village shuttle for market days; the board added one‑day sidewalk‑sales language for downtown vendors and recorded a recusal by Deputy Mayor Galen (vote recorded 6 in favor with 1 recusal).
The Village Board voted to authorize an agreement with Wickers Creek Market to schedule 2026 waterfront events, waive park rental and peddler permit fees for the listed dates, and to allow use of the village shuttle bus to bring visitors between the waterfront and downtown.
During discussion trustees debated whether sidewalk‑sales and related downtown fee waivers should be included in this agreement or handled separately. The board agreed to add language waiving the one‑day sidewalk‑sales prohibition for downtown vendors on the listed market dates and to treat sidewalk sales as part of the village‑sponsored event. Deputy Mayor Galen recused from the vote; the motion passed with six affirmative votes and the recusal noted in the record.
Trustees said the waivers and shuttle are intended to activate the waterfront, support downtown businesses on typically slower Sundays, and improve connectivity between the waterfront event and the downtown retail area. The board asked staff to prepare any additional downtown‑specific resolutions if broader waivers are later desired.
