Residents urge solutions for playground public urination; board to consult IDNR and IML on liability and floodplain rules
Summary
At the May 13 meeting residents raised public urination concerns at the Boardwalk playground; the board said it will consult the Illinois Department of Natural Resources on floodplain regulations and the Illinois Municipal League Risk Management Association on liability and consider options including restroom access and land availability.
During the Citizen’s Hearing, Kim Baker asked the board to consider options to address public urination at the Boardwalk playground, saying the single bathroom in the Bell Building cannot handle heavy weekend use. President Tina Shingleton said the village will consider the request and consult the Illinois Department of Natural Resources about floodplain regulations and the Illinois Municipal League Risk Management Association about liability and risk management.
The board flagged constraints including available land near the playground, maintenance needs, and floodplain or other regulations that could limit placement of restroom facilities. No specific funding source or timeline for a restroom project was provided in the minutes.
