North Bay Board Rejects Reinstalling Trash Receptacle at North Bay Park
Summary
After residents requested a trash receptacle at North Bay Park, the board voted unanimously to defeat the proposal, citing past dumping of bulk waste and additional commercial disposal costs for public bins.
Resident Jodi Reilley asked the Executive Board about reinstalling a trash receptacle at North Bay Park. Board discussion focused on prior abuse of public bins—examples cited included broken chairs, umbrellas, electronics, hazardous items and animal waste—and on the fact that a public park bin would incur a commercial disposal fee because the park is not a residential property.
Treasurer Robert O’Brien acknowledged pros and cons of the request. President Roger Mellem called for a roll‑call vote. Trustee Paul Schroeder, Trustee Rick Cermak and President Mellem each voted No; the proposal was defeated and no trash receptacle will be reinstalled at North Bay Park.
