Trustee (speaker 7) moved to approve Resolution 24-58 to adopt an amended village park system advertising policy. During discussion trustees expressed concern that new fees might be steep for some potential sponsors; others said the change standardizes handling and reduces time to authorize advertising.
Shortly after, trustees considered Ordinance 24-16 to amend the code (chapter 30, article 2, section 30-32) relating to special park use permits. The ordinance moves initial approval to the parks lead or supervisor with trustee sign-off, and removes the requirement that routine permits come before the full board unless there is an issue. Staff said the change reflects the village's increased parks staffing since 2015 and is intended to streamline operations.
Both measures passed on voice or roll-call votes as recorded in the transcript; trustees asked staff to monitor impacts on community sponsors and to report any implementation issues back to the board.
