Trustees waive police fees for Memorial Day and Veterans Day parades
Summary
Trustees granted parade permits and voted to waive police-service fees for Memorial Day and Veterans Day parades after staff estimated four officers for three hours would be required for traffic control.
The board approved permits for the Memorial Day and Veterans Day parades and agreed to waive fees for police traffic control for both events. Jim Ford, representing the American Legion, asked for the parades; village staff estimated police needs and trustees debated fee consistency before voting to waive the charge.
Village staff told trustees the expected police staffing for the parades would be "4 officers, for 3 hours," a cost the board then chose to absorb for these two community events. The motion to waive fees and to approve permits carried unanimously on voice vote.
