Sand Lake council approves Fourth of July run and water‑ball fight with conditions after business raises concerns
Summary
Council approved the Sand Lake Run 4th and allowed a Fireman’s Water Ball Fight at the Fourth of July event provided the Chamber submits proof of insurance; a nearby business raised concerns about customers getting wet and logo use.
The Village of Sand Lake Council on June 16 approved community events for the Fourth of July, including the Sand Lake Run 4 and a Fireman’s Water Ball Fight, while attaching conditions to the latter.
Council member Helton moved to approve the Sand Lake Run 4th event; Camilleri supported the motion and the vote carried 6 yes, 1 no (Wright). For the Chamber’s proposed Fireman’s Water Ball Fight, the council approved the addition to the Fourth of July programming on condition that the Chamber provide proof of insurance by June 19; the motion was made by Helton and supported by Camilleri and passed 6–1 with Wright dissenting.
During the second public comment period, a representative of Tea’d Up raised concerns that the water ball fight could result in customers getting wet and asked whether the village logo could be used on ironwork and possibly a mural on the business. President Doerr said she would check copyright concerns.
The minutes do not record specific insurance limits required for the event nor the village’s planned steps for ensuring public safety beyond the insurance requirement. The approvals were time‑sensitive to the upcoming holiday and included the condition that insurance paperwork be submitted by June 19.
