Title
Ice Fishing On Lake Sedgewick - School District 230
History
School District 230's Head Bass Fishing Coach, Mr. John Bartgen is requesting permission for a one day ice fishing event on a weekend in February, 2016, weather permitting. Safety is a top priority and this event would only be held if the ice is 8 inches or thicker. This is considered a school event, so insurance is covered by School District 230.
Ordinance 4939 was passed on November 3, 2014 allowing ice fishing events on Lake Sedgewick. Section 2 "3-1-5 Number 3." requires Board approval for any ice fishing events other than supervised programs of the Recreation and Parks Department.
Staff is requesting approval for School District 230’s ice fishing event to be held on Lake Sedgewick in February, 2016.
On January 18, 2016, this item was reviewed by the Parks & Recreation Committee, recommended for approval, and referred to the Village Board of Trustees for consideration.
Financial Impact
None
Recommended Action/Motion
I move to approve allowing Consolidated School District 230 Bass Fishing team to utilize Lake Sedgewick for their ice fishing event in February, 2016.
