Residents Requests and Comments from the floor
Barbara Haake reported that the posts had not been replaced along the south side
of Spring Lake and there is no trash barrel. She suggested a barrel could be
chained to the tree there. Mayor Neisen said it is the County's responsibility to
replace the posts and they had been notified about three weeks ago. The police were
alerted to check the area more often and issue summons to violators and to restrict
cars from the area.
Robert Glazer colluuented on the blind corner at Hillview and Eastwood. There is an
unoccupied house there and the shrubbery has grown up. Inspector Skiba stated that
perhaps since FHA has it now they would allow the Village to remove the hedge.
Inspector Skiba and Chief Grabowski will check into the matter.
Mrs. Caroline Basterash of 8000 Greenwood Drive commented on the poor condition of
khe swings at Hillview Park, and railings missing from the slides. She suggested
that perhaps a street light in the area would help. Councilman Baumgartner commented
that the swings would not be replaced now because no money is available when they
"take" the swings. Also they wouldn't be replaced at the same spot due to the newly
erected fence. Plans are to move the swings further East. Councilman Hodges
