Board approves temporary volleyball net in park at no cost to village
Summary
Trustees approved placement of a temporary volleyball net at the far west end of the park at no cost to the village; the committee will confirm exact placement and insurance requirements and avoid the July 4 festival footprint.
A resident suggested adding activities for children during summer by installing a temporary volleyball net in the park. Trustees discussed placement and maintenance concerns (mowing and proximity to the road) and approved a motion to allow volunteers to set two posts and install a temporary net at no cost to the village, with the proviso it be removed for the July 4 festival if needed.
"There's nothing for kids to do in the summer. What if we put up a temporary volleyball in that in Kearny Park?" a trustee posed; the board approved the idea by motion and asked the responsible committee to select an exact site, ensure the posts are properly installed and confirm insurance coverage and safety measures. The board emphasized the installation should not interfere with mowing and should be removable for events such as the July 4 celebration.
