Ravena Village plans 250th celebration, seeks lifeguards and volunteers; burn‑ban guidance reiterated
Summary
Trustees encouraged residents to decorate for the village's 250th, promoted Yard Sale Day (June 6) and lifeguard applications at the clerk’s office, and clarified that the burn ban remains in effect with ceremonial fires exempt; water/sewer bills are due next Friday or will be added to property tax.
Board members used part of the May 5 meeting to share community notices ahead of the summer season.
A trustee asked residents to decorate in red, white and blue for the village’s 250th celebration, encouraged parade participation and volunteers for event tasks, and said at least one planter will be available for community planting at the celebration. The village’s annual Yard Sale Day is scheduled for Saturday, June 6, from about 9 a.m. to 3 p.m.
The trustee also said lifeguard applications are available at the village clerk’s office at 15 Mountain Road and that the village is seeking one or two additional lifeguards; interested applicants were asked to call 756‑8233.
Trustees discussed the local burn ban: it remains in effect (no brush or leaf burning), some small campfires may be allowed when the ban is lifted subject to size and containment rules, and ceremonial or religious fires are exempt. Trustees urged residents to use common sense to avoid accidental fires.
The clerk reminded residents that water and sewer bills are due next Friday and that unpaid bills will be placed on property tax bills if not paid by the deadline; the speaker included the phrase “excluding Baltimore” as stated in the transcript. No new rules or enforcement actions were adopted during the meeting.
