Summary

Trustee Craig Schaefer urged the board to eliminate year-round alternate side parking or restrict it to winter/street-sweeping, calling the current approach confusing and inconsistently enforced; President Stalewski said options include removing summer restrictions or increasing enforcement and the matter will return to committee.

Trustee Craig Schaefer told the board he has heard broad resident frustration with the village's year-round alternate side parking rules and urged the Board to make a final decision rather than continue deferral. He described enforcement as inconsistent and said the rule should be limited to winter months or street-sweeping periods.

President Stalewski outlined two possible approaches: eliminate the requirement during summer months or strengthen enforcement against those abusing the system. Schaefer said he would accept either outcome but wanted a definitive resolution. The minutes record the complaint and that the issue was flagged for future committee deliberation; no motion or ordinance change was made at the meeting.
