Open Meetings Act:
Unfortunately, members are unable to attend a committee meeting virtually. Only the Village Board is able to
meet virtually.And only in certain circumstances. Someone at the April 26th meeting will be able to record the
minutes.
All members will need to take Open Meetings Act training by May 1st. You should be able to see these in your
March 7th emails.
Emergency Plans:
There has been interest in knowing if there are any emergency plans set up for Mike Rylko Park during the
Farmers Market. There are 4 AEDs at the fitness center. There is one at the splash pad building, but it opens
occasionally for parties at I OAM and to the public at noon. I would like to see our first aid kit. If it needs to be
updated, we can purchase items or a new kit if needed. If we need an emergency plan, we'll need to discuss
what plans we need and can get them in place.
