Three Oaks board asks manager, engineers to reassess Dewey Cannon restroom site and approves gazebo lighting
Summary
The Parks and Recreation Board voted 6–1 to ask the Village Manager and engineers to determine the best location for a permanent restroom at Dewey Cannon Park, citing sewer and water-connection cost concerns; the Board also approved purchase of four Kichler lights and agreed to refinish picnic tables.
The Parks and Recreation Board debated the location and feasibility of a permanent restroom at Dewey Cannon Park during the May 5 meeting after village engineers raised concerns about the cost of connecting water and sewer to a suggested southwest-corner site.
Board member Larry Shawver moved and Ed White supported a motion requesting Village Manager Dan Faulkner work with engineers to determine the best location for the facility. The motion passed with six yes votes and one no vote. The minutes record the vote as 6 yes, 1 no but do not provide a roll-call listing of each member's vote.
Separately, Chair Ira Johnson presented a proposal for indirect lighting of the park gazebo. The Board approved the purchase of four Kichler fixtures at an estimated $315 each plus an on/off timer; Mike Springer supported the motion. Board member Brain Overley volunteered to refinish seven picnic tables and four benches, and the Board agreed Faulkner would coordinate the purchase of materials with the Village.
The Board’s actions direct the manager and engineering staff to analyze restroom siting and authorize limited capital spending on lighting and materials for furniture refinishing; the minutes do not record funding sources beyond the estimated lighting cost.
