APPEARANCES
VICKI TETZLAFF; USING TENNIS COURT IN CORY PARK; PICKLE BALL
V. Tetzlaff was present at the meeting and explained to the Board that she would like to put new lines on the tennis court for a group of people to play Pickle Ball on Thursday evenings. The color would be different then the tennis lines. She handed out a drawing of what the lines would look like compared to the tennis lines. J. Kitelinger said that he had looked it over and had no problem. The Village has a striper and could paint the lines green. If someone showed up to use the tennis courts, they would leave and let them use the courts.
The Board was all in favor of this and Pres. Nissen instructed V. Tetzlaff to work with J. Kitelinger to get the lines done.

J. Kitelinger got an estimate on the Village of Dousman sign lighting on Hwy 18. He stated it would be approximately $5,000 including $2,500 just for We Energies to get the power over to the sign. The Board discussed and decided to wait and put into the 2016 budget.
J. Kitelinger stated that he had received calls from homeowner’s in The Pines concerned about when the sealcoating was getting completed. He told them it would probably be in late July.
