Summary

Multiple residents urged larger 'No Dogs on beach' signage after reports of dogs off leash, asked about paving near new drywell installations, questioned access to courts given grant funding, and urged repainting or removing speed bumps after safety incidents.

During the public-comment period before the council's closed session, several residents raised community maintenance and safety concerns.

Roxanne Martino reported dogs off-leash at the beach; Pam Schutt asked whether a larger "No Dogs on beach" sign could be installed. Linda Stein asked if roads where new drywells were installed would be paved. Dr. Lome asked whether the courts were open to everyone given that part of the cost came from a Pokagon Grant written by the village.

Holly Duran and Karen Summer urged that speed bumps be removed or repainted to improve visibility after Summer said she had wiped out on one a couple of years ago. Karen Hardy asked whether posted pickleball rules would be restored, and Megan Schmollinger suggested placing extra buoys near stops 41.5 and 42 for water safety.

Councilors listened and did not announce immediate policy changes during the meeting; these requests were recorded for follow-up by staff and committees.
