Parents urge fixes to Steger Recreation program after missed tournament, uniform problems
Summary
A parent raised concerns about cancelled games and excess uniform orders in the Recreation program; Mayor Joyce said Rec funds are receipted by the Village, the missed tournament resulted from a late registration request and the Recreation Board is being rebuilt.
Mary Montgomery, a parent, told the board her child who plays basketball has experienced cancelled games and issues with uniforms. The minutes quote her asking the board to address program problems that affect players. Mayor William Joyce explained that recreation funds are turned in to the Village and receipted and said the missed tournament "occurred because the money needed to register for the tournament was not requested in a timely manner." He added that more uniforms were ordered than athletes who need them and recommended Montgomery attend a Steger Rec meeting to have the process explained during the Rec Board's rebuilding process.
The board announced a public hearing May 20 on the five-year Parks & Recreation plan; Mayor Joyce encouraged residents to attend and provide input. The minutes do not record further administrative actions or deadlines tied to the complaints, only an invitation to participate in the Rec Board process.
