Committee reviews police staffing and logistics for Family Fun Day
Summary
Committee members discussed police presence for the parade and Family Fun Day, with the Chief saying three officers could stay for Family Day (later clarified as four at some point); members considered event duration, alcohol concerns, and enforcement of rules for unattended minors.
Committee members reviewed staffing plans for the upcoming parade and Family Fun Day. The Chief said three officers could remain for Family Day, later clarifying the plan allowed for four officers to be present at some point (two assigned to police cars and two dedicated to the event).
Members discussed how long Family Day typically runs — scheduled until 4 p.m. but often continuing later — and whether additional officers should be assigned because of alcohol consumption. The Chief said he had three to four officers at Family Day last year. Mrs. Hardwick said she would update the Village Club on police presence and related logistics; she also noted the Village Club would limit side-dish contributions this year and would provide main items such as hot dogs. Mr. Konrad raised enforcement questions, including whether rules prohibiting unattended minors could be enforced.
No formal vote or action on staffing was recorded in the transcript; the discussion resulted in information-sharing and a plan for Mrs. Hardwick to update the Village Club and for the Chief to staff the event as discussed.
