The full story

Brack reported the village approved soft surfacing at two playgrounds: the Carroll Beach playground is complete and Becker Parks surfacing was rained out and tentatively rescheduled. "The 1st 1 is completed. That's the 1 over in Carroll Beach, and the 2nd 1 is over in Becker Park, and that's tentatively on for this Thursday," Brack said. Staff also added a connecting concrete sidewalk from the parking pad to Becker's soft surfacing to improve access.
