“All right, very good. I think you can have a seat for a minute here. We have two blue cards. I want to get right away out to the audience here, and then we'll come back to the board. The first is Carmela. Carmela, is it Carmela Dapper? After Carmela will be Susan Emery.”

“All right. Well, I think what I'd like to do is turn it over to the board here now, unless there's someone else. I don't have any other blue cards from the audience on this particular topic. So we'll turn it back over to the board. But before we do that, I think it should be noted that the Park District has its own elected group of officials that make decisions for all the park properties. And in my opinion, more than a dozen years of being an elected trustee and now the mayor, I don't think I've ever, maybe Robin you can help me, there's never been a time where we've weighed in on the…”

“You know, it's really these things are left up to the park board and the park district staff to do. This is kind of an unusual, you know, anomaly that we're talking about swings here on this project. Staff, can you give us a brief, Randy, maybe an explanation of why this is before us tonight in this particular environment?”

“And that's all with goodwill. I appreciate that very much. I would hate to get into the business of us telling the park district how to do their parks. Just like we don't tell the library how to do the library. They have their own board, their own elected officials, their own staff. So to me, their swings, I would prefer, in my opinion, to leave it up to them to decide where to put it. And again, if it's going to be a nuisance, then they'll work that out with their neighbors and the people who come in and complain. it's really not something that I feel like we should be weighing in on too…”

“We are. And my commentary before was typically we don't. typically we're not in that business. It's an unusual situation tonight because this is a change to the PUD, and correct me if I'm stating this inaccurately, but the PUD amendment that was done when the additions were done didn't include the swings, but now, because the Park District is listening, they want to include them again, so it's kind of a very specific add for tonight. But typically, We don't weigh in on location of the slides or the monkey bars or the swings or anything like that. I have not personally in my time on this board.”

“Makes sense to me. MR. PASSMAN, WHAT WOULD YOU CHANGE, NOT THAT IT'S GOING TO BE ACCEPTED BY THE BOARD HERE, BUT WHAT WOULD NEED TO CHANGE IN THE MOTION TO ALLOW THE PARK DISTRICT TO CARRY ON WITH THEIR GOALS HERE AND ADJUST THE LOCATION IF THEY FELT IT WAS APPROPRIATE?”

“TONIGHT WHAT WE'RE DOING IS WE'RE DIRECTING STAFF AND THE VILLAGE ATTORNEY WHICH IS YOU TO CREATE THIS. IF I WAS TO DO A STRAW POLL OF THIS BOARD THAT THIS IS LANGUAGE THAT WE WOULD WANT TO INCLUDE IN IT. you would do so.”

“SO WHAT WE COULD DO IS CARRY ON WITH THE MOTION IN THE SECOND THAT WE HAVE RIGHT NOW AND THEN ASK THE QUESTION THAT SAYS, ALL RIGHT, IS THIS THE WILL OF THE MAJORITY OF THE BOARD TO TURN IT INTO THIS? DOES THAT MAKE SENSE? IT DOES.”

“it's let's do this is that yeah i don't i don't think that we're necessarily saying that this is where they go we're just approving the modification of the pud yeah and but as as ms rodman said it does include this map that shows the location in the blue up here up at the top corner there in the north and that's where you might expect them to be then and all i'm getting at is that's what the motion is right now and that's what the second is i think the board here TO SOME DEGREE WANTS TO STAY OUT OF THE BUSINESS OF LOCATING CERTAIN SPECIFIC JUNGLE GYMS AND SWINGS AND SLIDES AND THINGS LIKE…”

“It does. And they still have to answer to the residents as to how they do their business. And that's the way it should be, right? Let's do a roll call vote on this. We have a motion and a second. Is there any other discussion here or anywhere else? I don't think there is. Maggie, please. It was a motion that was made by Trustee Gilbert, seconded by Trustee Schwingbeck.”

“Yes. So the motion carries. Your request has been approved. It's in your hands. Is there any further discussion that staff needs to hear from the board or anybody else wants to say anything else on this before we move on?”

“Thank you. Good luck. We'll see an ordinance prepared in a couple of weeks. Thanks. Thank you, Mayor. All right. And then the last item on the agenda is item F, and that is an approval of an ordinance amending the village code regarding alcohol regulations for a downtown social district pilot program. And I'll hand this one back off to staff.”

“Okay. Could you do me a favor, Jack, and pull up the slide that you made a comment about the reason for doing this, and it was the one just before the map. Go back one more. Right there, this one. The goals, the common program goals include... And I'm just going to read these really quick. Supporting the local businesses, increasing pedestrian activity, encouraging outdoor dining and shopping, and enhanced tourism. in the downtown and downtown vibrancy. There was question at our last meeting, why would we do such a thing? Why is this something that we should be doing? It might cost us a…”

“Do we have a motion? No, not yet. Not yet. Is there someone who wants to make a motion to recommend staff to work forward on these, as mentioned here in this recommendation? I'd be happy to. How did I guess it? I think the rest of us would have backed off just so you could.”
