Minutes of the Regular Meeting of Council Monday, November 16, 2015 Page 4 can look into audible traffic signals at some of the intersections in our Village. You may or may not remember Lyndhurst did this about 3 years ago. My father was actually instrumental in helping to put that through. They had a grant. We will look into that as well. We are also meeting on Thursday with the traffic engineer to go over what actually needs to be done to upgrade our traffic signals. The ones I am looking at have the new technology in them already because we just replaced them so I do not anticipate it's going to be a huge project but the more information we get on it, I will pass it along to Council. Mr. Saponaro asked, how does the audible work, is it a voice or just the ticking noise? Chief Edelman replied, there's a tone or a voice. It depends on the product we decide to put in there. PARKS & RECREATION -Bill Thomas Mr. Thomas reported, yesterday we had over 1300 girls from the 3rd to 8d' grade participating in the Girls on the Run Program. The weather was absolutely spectacular for a run and walk yesterday. Superintendent of Schools Dr. Kelly gave a welcome to all participants. We had four police officers helping out. We had one at the start of the race, one at Lander and Ridgebury and two in the parking lot. The parking lot was all filled up. We definitely needed all those officers. We had three police departments working together to ensure safety. They blocked off Ridgebury and Lander. It worked out very very well. We had no complaints that I am aware of from residents. We also had CERT staff protecting runners all along Ridgebury. We plan on doing this again next year. We had our girls' recreation volleyball program for the first time participate in a tournament at Kenston High School. We had 3rd and 4d' grade division. We had two teams for that and in our Sd' and 6d' grade division we had three girls. It was a great experience for all the girls and parents. They all had a great time.

Mrs. Mills asked Mr. Thomas to talk about the pickleball tournament. Mr. Thomas stated, we had our first Senior Pickleball Tournament. There were 32 participants. Pickleball is a cross between ping-pong and tennis. It's played on a gym floor, tennis court. It was the first time we involved the seniors. It was wonderful.
