Board tightens playing‑field policy, adds tournament fees and security deposit adjustments
Summary
Trustees amended the playing‑fields policy to reference the ancillary fee schedule (rather than in‑text prices), added non‑resident tournament fees, clarified hours and summer exceptions, and increased cleanup and police support hourly rates.
The Sleepy Hollow Village Board approved an amended policy for use of village playing fields that replaces hardcoded prices in the ordinance text with a reference to the ancillary fee schedule, adds non‑resident tournament fees and clarifies allowable hours and summer exceptions.
Trustees agreed to amend item language so that specific prices are maintained in the separate ancillary fee schedule rather than embedded directly in the policy. The board added a proposed non‑resident tournament fee structure (discussed at $400 per day for non‑residents and $200 per day for residents in the discussion) and set a public‑works cleanup charge of $75 per hour and police support at $100 per hour for tournaments and special permits.
The policy changes also clarified that markets and village‑sanctioned events will block permit availability on affected dates, that summer hours for group recreation may be approved case‑by‑case by the village administrator, and that both west and east fields are available for Sunday special permits between noon and 5 p.m. Trustees voted to approve the amended policy and directed staff to align the ancillary fee schedule with the policy language.
