During public comment residents raised neighborhood concerns including suspected marijuana use and parking at a rental property, pickleball facility access and barricade rules, renters and leash enforcement, and commended staff on building inspections.

Several residents used the public-comment period to raise neighborhood concerns and requests. Pam Schutt complained about marijuana use and the number of cars at a rental property near her home; the council recorded that it was already looking into the situation with the Village attorney and police.

Mike Mayfield raised issues related to pickleball, requesting a pickleball liaison, bathroom access, and allowing court barricades. Bruce Hirsch spoke about renters, parking problems and keeping dogs on leashes. Mark Zello commended Building Inspector Bill Lambert for his knowledge and ease of working with residents. Mark Brown warned that the government was "pulling grants," a point noted but not expanded on at the meeting.

These public comments were taken for the record; the council indicated police and legal review where enforcement concerns were raised and did not take additional formal action during the meeting.
