Residents raise complaints about rentals, marijuana use, and pickleball needs in public comment
Summary
Multiple residents used public comment to press the council on neighborhood issues: complaints about rental properties and marijuana use, parking and leash enforcement, and requests for pickleball accommodations including a liaison and bathroom access.
During public comment on May 9 several residents raised neighborhood quality-of-life concerns. Pam Schutt complained about marijuana use and an increase in cars at a nearby rental property; council and police said the issue was already under investigation with the Village attorney and police involvement. Bruce Hirsch raised concerns about renters, parking problems, and keeping dogs on leashes after recent dog bites.
Pickleball players and neighbors raised operational requests. Mike Mayfield asked for a pickleball liaison, improved bathroom access, and permission to use court barricades. Building Inspector Bill Lambert and others received public praise from Mark Zello for responsiveness on building matters. Council did not take policy action on these public-comment items at the meeting; staff and the police were reported to be looking into enforcement and legal options.
