Residents urge action on cemetery damage, park noise and boat-launch safety during public comment
Summary
During public comment at the June 25 Mandeville City Council hearing, multiple residents raised concerns about cemetery damage, weekend park noise and speeding at the boat launch, and provided photos and video to the clerk; the council recorded the comments but did not take immediate action.
Several residents used the council's public-comment period June 25 to ask for city intervention on neighborhood safety and cemetery maintenance.
Paul Branch asked the council to consider additions to the Neighborwoods E-bike Ordinance. Richard Lambert said speeding and loud gatherings — including young people remaining after curfew — are occurring in the boat-launch parking lot; he asked for signage, a mandated curfew and more patrols and handed a thumb drive with video to the clerk for council review. Tracy Elsensohn provided pictures showing damage at the cemetery, including a sign that had been hit and a fallen grave, and asked the city to step in. Kirt Frosch said cemetery grass should have been cut by hand and complained of excessive weekend noise at Tyler Thomas Park. Bert Norton, identified in the record as the new FD#4 Fire Chief, thanked the council for considering two reappointments on the agenda.
The meeting minutes record the comments and evidence submissions (thumb drives and photographs) but do not show any immediate council action in response to the specific requests during the public hearing. The council adjourned at 6:20 p.m.
