Summary

Organizers of the village pickleball tournament reported raising $4,258 after expenses and proposed reopening bathrooms for Thanksgiving, installing donated hand dryers and adding keypad access to restrooms; council thanked the group and took suggestions under advisement.

Sally McDonald, representing the pickleball tournament organizers, said the event raised $4,000 and a separate brewery fundraiser contributed $258, and "after expenses they were giving the Village a check for $4,258." McDonald thanked the council for approving a rain date and described donated equipment for court maintenance.

The group asked that the courts be blown off for Thanksgiving weekend, that the bathrooms be reopened and fitted with hand dryers they would donate, and that a keypad with a code be installed for bathroom access. The council thanked the group and did not take an immediate vote on the specific facility changes, leaving implementation details to staff consideration.
