CITIZEN PARTICIPATION

Zach Rospert was in attendance representing the Berlin- Milan Youth Sports League trying to head a project to add a bathroom and concession stand to the "A" field in memory of Keith Ostheimer in conjunction with Edison Design Studio. He was asking all of this to possibly be done through donations, and felt it would be a good first step to say the sewer tap the Village had already done on St. Rt. 601 was donated to the cause and to waive the tap in fee. The Solicitor will check into the matter but suggests it be done by ordinance. The usual price is $450.00.

County Commissioner Sparky Weilnau and his wife Kathy were also in attendance.
