Residents differ on May 9 event; one reports property intrusion, others stress community benefit
Summary
During public comment, a resident reported UTVs parked on her property during a May 9 event and requested police presence at future events; other attendees defended the event's community fundraising purpose.
During the public‑comment portion of the May 14 meeting, resident Shauna Johnson said she had filed a police report with the Loami Police Department after several UTVs parked on her property during a May 9 event and asked the village for improved event coordination and on‑duty police officers at future events.
Resident Robert Loomer offered a different view, saying the situation could have been avoided, and Megan Graywell — speaking on behalf of her mother, who is married to Mr. Loomer — said the event was intended to benefit the community and raise funds for the Village's Fourth of July celebration. Mayor Steven Lambert thanked those who spoke and encouraged residents to contact trustees about concerns.
The minutes record the complaints and differing perspectives but do not describe any immediate board action or timeline for investigating the May 9 incident; Ms. Johnson said she filed a police report with the Loami Police Department.
