Pickleball tournament approved; resident raises sanitation concerns
Summary
Council approved limited pickleball tournament dates for September and required resource requests be submitted a week prior; during public comment a resident complained that players had relieved themselves by the creek and a council member noted quieter pickleballs were available.
The council approved dates for a pickleball tournament while a resident used public comment to raise sanitation concerns about player behavior.
Tim McCarthy moved to allow the tournament on Friday, Sept. 5 (set-up starting at 4 p.m. EST) and Saturday–Sunday, Sept. 6–7, with the condition that requests for village resources be submitted to the office one week prior; Mike Botelho seconded and the motion was approved. During public comment, Pam Schutt complained that "the pickleball players [were] relieving themselves by the creek." Nancy Thill added that quieter pickleballs exist and "they do work," suggesting a mitigation for noise concerns. The council did not announce additional enforcement steps in the minutes; staff was asked to notify the tournament organizer of council conditions.
