Minutes of the Regular Meeting of Council Monday, July 24, 2017 Page 7 Council President Saponaro stated, so it benefits all Village residents. Mr. Christian replied, oh yeah, because every Village residents goes up there and uses it. I am sure. I think you need to take a survey to every resident instead of 1500. Council President Saponaro stated, the survey was taken after. It was done as a pretext to the grant that is trying to lower the amounts of money being charged to the Village. Prior to it, I don't know if a survey was done. I ain not sure how it was conducted. Mr. Cappello stated, the survey was just determined if people wanted pickleball. It wasn't that people wanted tennis courts. It was if there was a demand for pickleball. The striping of the pickleball is a minor amount of money. The whole thing with the 1500 residents was to determine if pickleball was in demand. That was what the survey was for. Not if tennis was in demand or anything like that. It went to recreation people who use the facilities to see if they were interested possibly in pickleball or not. This was a clarification. This wasn't a survey sent out to just 1500 people, do you want tennis? That was determined a long time ago. Council President Saponaro asked, okay, so Mrs. Betsa, can you provide information regarding the discussion on this and go back as far as you can? Thank you. ' Mayor Bodnar stated, I started here when they took away the tennis courts and the High School. To my knowledge, they have not put them back. There used to be tennis courts. There are no longer. Ron Wynne (Finance) - At last month's Council ineeting, Council approved the renewal of our property and casualty insurance as it stood.
