South Range president raises liability question for baseball-field lease, flags plowing and parking concerns on M-26
Summary
President Eakin told the council he consulted the village attorney about a proposed baseball-field lease and who would be responsible for injuries; he also raised unresolved Whealkate-lot contact, possible future plowing charges for local businesses and public concerns about parking along M-26.
President Eakin told the Village of South Range council on Dec. 4 that he had spoken with the village attorney about drafting an official lease for the village baseball fields and that the attorney asked who would be responsible if someone were injured on the property during games. Eakin noted Little League carries insurance covering injuries to participants.
Eakin said the village had not yet received updates from landowners about work progress on the Whealkate lots and suggested the village attorney send a letter to request an update. He also raised public concerns about new parking along state trunkline M-26 and discussed complaints from local businesses about plowing, noting the council might consider future charges for business plowing operations.
The council asked for revisions to the president's newsletter for distribution before Christmas. The meeting record does not show a vote on the baseball-field lease language; the attorney's advice was recorded as an item for further follow-up.
The council received these items as part of the president's report; no formal directive or ordinance was adopted at the Dec. 4 meeting.
