Church and residents ask trustees to reconsider parking‑lot agreement and confirm sidewalk responsibilities
Summary
Carol Walkup of St. Mary’s Church asked the Board to reconsider ending a decades‑long $50/year maintenance agreement that allowed public parking on church property; she requested notice of upcoming parking workshops and confirmation of sidewalk/curb replacement responsibilities.
Carol Walkup told the Board the longstanding agreement under which the village maintained the church parking lot while the church paid for materials—historically $50 per year—was not renewed and that the church may post "Church Parking Only" signs if the village does not reinstate terms. She shared a printed layout of the lot boundary and asked trustees to reconsider.
Mayor Barton said the Board will hold workshops on village parking areas and that he will notify the church about the schedule. Walkup also asked whether sidewalk replacement would be required if National Grid excavates a road to replace lines; Mayor Barton confirmed that if National Grid must break pavement to replace a line, the company is responsible for replacing the affected road section, and that sidewalk replacement responsibility rests with the property owner (the church in this case).
Walkup requested to be notified of parking‑workshop dates; Mayor Barton agreed to provide notice.
