Guest tells Stronghurst board cameras aren't monitored continuously after nets at pickleball courts were damaged
Summary
Guest Dave Knutstrom said children have been kicking balls over nets at the village pickleball courts, stretching them; Mayor Brendan Schaley said cameras "are in fact being used, but they are not monitored 24/7," and recommended adding a volleyball net at the other end of the courts.
During public comment April 7, guest Dave Knutstrom reported that kids were kicking volleyballs and basketballs over the pickleball court nets, causing them to stretch and incur damage.
"He asked why the cameras are not being utilized," the minutes state. Mayor Brendan Schaley responded: "they are in fact being used, but they are not monitored 24/7 so if Chief Vancil is not notified of the incident, he does not know to review them." The mayor and the guest discussed placing a volleyball net at the other end of the pickleball courts so children could play on the appropriate surface and reduce damage to the pickleball courts.
No board motion or vote was recorded on installing new cameras or barriers during the meeting; the discussion was recorded as a guest complaint and a proposed operational adjustment.
