Board grants courtesy approval for village-funded shelter at Viking Park
Summary
The board gave courtesy approval to a village-funded fabric shelter and concrete pad at Viking Park's pickleball/tennis courts; members discussed maintenance responsibilities, wind and warranty considerations, and the partnership with the village.
The board gave courtesy approval to a village-funded project to install a 20-by-20 fabric shelter and concrete pad near the pickleball/tennis courts at Viking Park.
Village representatives and board members discussed the design choice (fabric canopy), maintenance responsibilities, warranty concerns if wind or storm damage occurs, and the likely timetable. A local vendor (Gerber Leisure Products) won a bid; the village will fund the work and estimated installation could occur about two months after approval.
Board members welcomed the partnership but asked staff and village officials to clarify who will be responsible for seasonal removal of the fabric and long-term maintenance in the event of storm damage. The motion to approve the shelter was seconded and carried by voice vote at the meeting.
