Director’s decision on this matter. 3. Discussion/possible action regarding fundraising projects for the Recreation Dept. Stephanie wants to do a gun raffle fundraiser and asked the Chief of Police if this is allowed. He will have to check on it. He said that a lot of organizations do this but there is always a potential for a lawsuit if anything happens with that gun that was raffled. The Chief says to ask the Village Attorney for his opinion and guidance. Usually, the gun store keeps the gun and then the winner of the raffle comes into the store, and they do the background check and all necessary paperwork, so everything is done correctly. 50/50 raffles will start this baseball season. Angela Petruska suggested that Stephanie contact someone affiliated with the Father’s Day fly in and sell there. There is always a great turnout at that event. Tammie Smith asked Stephanie if she could contact Standard Process again to see if they would possibly donate a piece of park equipment. Stephanie will reach back out to Angela and give her another tour of the park. 4. Discussion/possible action on baseball/softball programs. 50/50 raffle for those. Redid softball field so there will be games there at the village park. Get the link to the website with the ball schedules from Stephanie. Get the merry go round up to the park. Stephanie would like to have a Rec. meeting every 2 months. Petruska/Gorsegner motion to adjourn at 7:05 pm Respectfully submitted, Laurie Mueller, Village Clerk/Treasurer Minutes approved without corrections May 6, 2024
