Council authorizes president to act with police and attorney on vandalism of 12 beach trees
Summary
Police reported vandalism that cut down 12 trees on village beach property; council gave President Tim McCarthy permission to work with Police Chief Ryan Layman and Village Attorney Sara Senica on case-related decisions while meetings are suspended, in a 5–0 vote.
Police Chief Ryan Layman reported that the village posted a sign at Stop 40 seeking information about vandalism that resulted in 12 trees being cut down on Village beach property. Chief Layman asked for resident assistance locating those responsible.
Because the council will not meet in January or February, Tim McCarthy moved for permission to work with Chief Layman and Village Attorney Sara Senica on decisions related to the vandalism case and to keep the rest of the council informed; Mike Botelho seconded and the motion passed 5–0. The council directed McCarthy to coordinate with police and legal counsel as needed while preserving transparency with the membership.
Council did not announce arrests or suspect names at the meeting and did not provide a timetable for a case resolution.
