UNFINISHED BUSINESS:
1. Pickleball –Jill Wedig moved to request up to $300.00 for the first annual pickleball tournament at Baumann Park. Tori Schroeder seconded. Date is set for August 27, 2022 with a rain date of August 28, 2022 start time at 9:00 AM, participants will need to arrive early for registration. Scott Kramer has worked up a flier with the information and Jill Wedig will make signs with her Cricut and post signs and get them to Scott so he can hang them up by July 24, 2022. Scott Kramer stated that he will collect the $20 entry donation (to go toward wind screens) from the participants the day of the tournament. Jill Wedig stated that she would pick up six gift certificates for the winners and Scott will purchase the tape, and six medals (two first place, two second place and two third place)
2. National Night Out – Jesse Pearse reported that he needs five signs – Chalk Art, Prize Tents, Refreshments, Kickball Signups, and Mason ID’s. Jill stated that she can take leftover signs from the new garbage provider signs and paint them with chalkboard tape and Sue Smetana can write on them so that they can be reusable. Last year the police department handed out free ice cream cone vouchers, this year the Historical Society approached the police department and asked if they could be a part of National Night Out and that they intend on doing an ice cream social, with funds being donated to the historical society, so the police department will not be handing out the ice cream vouchers but will still hand out the free slice of pizza vouchers from Salamone’s. Jesse will reach out to Sparky Prisby to see if he will MC the kickball game.
3. Art on Fire – 10 people have reserved hydrants for this year’s Art on Fire so far. Jesse Pearse stated that even though the deadline was July 1, 2022 he’s still expecting participants to sign up through the month of July.
4. Citizen of the Year – Jill Wedig said she would like to review the guidelines regarding being nominated for Citizen of the Year. Jill feels that employees and elected officials should be able to be nominated for citizen of the year since they do not vote on the citizen of the year. David Schroeder stated that he thinks the idea of having a posthumous Citizen of the Year. Consensus was to reflect on this topic and it will be brought back to the September recreation board meeting.
